How to feed raw
  • Do not rush it, wean off of processed foods and onto raw steadily and progressively over a period of a few weeks
  • Stay with one protein source initially. Stick to chicken to start with as it is easy to digest and in time introduce other meats such as beef, lamb, rabbit and tripe
  • A simple and relatively fool-proff way of starting is by feeding natures:menu complete nuggets or frozen mince blocks. They are prepared from whole cuts of meat, fresh vegetables and gently cooked rice grains. They also contain all of the vitamins and minerals needed to provide your dog with a balanced, nutritionally complete raw diet in one easy step
  • Never feed cooked bones. They are prone to splinter and can cause internal problems for your pet. Raw bones are easily chewed and digested to provide much needed calcium.
  • You can introduce raw bones and foods to puppies such as chicken and turkey from about 6 weeks of age
