Lifestage Raw Food Guide

There are plenty of reasons why your canine companion might benefit from being fed a raw diet. When you start to consider feeding raw, one of the most important things is to make sure you’re feeding a high quality diet with responsibly sourced ingredients. Lifestage does all the work for you, so you can just enjoy giving your pooch a meal they can thrive on.  

If your pup is a fussy eater or just bored of their regular biscuits, Lifestage can help them fall in love with their food again.  

Lifestage raw food is naturally grain free with no additives, so there are no hidden nasties that can upset your dog’s tummy. It’s suitable for dogs of all sizes, with any bone content crushed up small enough so that even your tiny Chihuahuas can benefit from the extra calcium available. All ingredients are responsibly sourced and contain 80% of protein to keep your pooch strong and healthy. Protein is vital in keeping bones and joints healthy, especially in young and growing dogs or working dogs. Dogs with busy lives need high protein content food to manage their energy but also help quickly repair any muscle strains.  

While the cost of feeding raw might appear more expensive in what you pay per the weight of the food but, without having to add preservatives to keep it fresh, there is usually less waste product. Raw food is more calorie-dense, so you don’t need to feed as much of it every day. The cost of feeding raw will often balance out so there isn’t that much difference in it when you take this into account. The slightly elevated costs mean you can feed your dog fresh, high quality food that they love every day. Since they can use much more of the food for energy, you will notice that they tend to go to the toilet significantly less, which is great news for you! 

If you’ve ever done your research on how to calculate raw feeding diets, you might have come away with a bit of a headache. Trying to piece together how much of each ingredient to include when you’re putting together your own raw diet can really get in the way of how much you enjoy feeding it. Having to plan your own meals can be hard enough but then meal prepping for your pooch as well will take even more time. Lifestage raw food brings you the benefits of feeding raw while taking out all the hard work. Each variety of their food is perfectly balanced and complete, so you can rest assured that your pooch is only getting the best of the very best.

Not only have they made high quality recipes, but they come in 500g tubs that can be defrosted and fed directly to your pooch with zero preparation. All you need to do is pull out a pack the night before, let it defrost overnight and serve - it couldn’t be easier! 

With a selection of different flavours, you’ll be able to find the perfect match for your pooch or provide them with a variety of meals to keep food time exciting and enjoyable. Whether you have to avoid specific proteins because of sensitivities or you just want to try something new, Lifestage will have just the thing for you.  

Beef is a delicious source of protein for dogs old and young. The Lifestage Raw Dog Food, Beef variety is super rich in protein. Beef is a great source of energy, it contains a range of different vitamins and minerals as well.

Designed for working dogs, the beef Lifestage meal will support energy and endurance throughout the day. It’s perfect for a busy lifestyle. Beef is also one of the best protein sources for keeping teeth and gums healthy, it requires a little more chewing than other meats.  

Lifestage Raw Dog Food, Turkey is filled with poultry goodness. Turkey diets are lean and great for dogs who struggle with their weight. If you’re looking to shave a few pounds off your pooch, then a low fat content meat is perfect for them. Lean proteins like turkey are also suitable for older dogs as they require flower calories as they get older. Elderly dogs tend to slow down and exert themselves less on walks, so the turkey diet would be a great option. There’s zinc to keep the coat healthy and shiny, and selenium which is an antioxidant that prevents damage to cells.  

If you’ve ever done a deep dive into what protein sources you should be eating, salmon is often on that list.
