The Best Raw Dog Food For Your Pooch

With the increasing popularity of feeding a raw diet to our beloved pets, the choice has become much wider so you have plenty to go at. There are lots of different brands focused on providing key nutrition to your pup, so you just have to work out which one is right for you and your four-legged friend.

Feeding your pooch a raw diet couldn’t be easier, all you need to do is allow the food to defrost and serve the delicious dish to your beloved pet. No preparation or cooking is involved!

There are many benefits of feeding a raw diet like healthy skin, coat, teeth and joints but finding the right kind of food is important. Raw food comes in many forms, the most popular being mince. Minced food comes in trays that you defrost and serve portions from until you have to defrost another. You can also buy nuggets which can make it easier to know exactly how much to give to your pup without the need to weigh it every single time. Some raw food contains whole wings or turkey necks, and other brands serve their raw diets in large pate-style sausages to be sliced.

What style of food you choose to feed to your furry friend can depend on both your preferences but also their size. A raw diet containing large pieces of bone and organs may not be suitable for your pocket-sized pooch so a diet made of smaller nuggets would help while larger dogs may really enjoy the larger pieces in some meals.
