One of the biggest concerns we hear when talking to those considering a raw food diet for their pets is that it’s too ‘tricky’, ‘confusing’ or ‘difficult to switch’. Ok – we admit it – pouring a cup of kibble into a bowl is quick and requires little consideration. If this is what you’re used to when it comes to feeding your pet, then you will find that raw feeding requires a just a little more energy…

However…

We want to banish all the misconceptions that pet owners have around raw feeding. The ‘mess’, the ‘bacteria’, the rigmarole of defrosting and serving – it’s time to ditch whatever you’ve heard and start afresh on your journey to raw. Afterall, feeding Nutriment is as simple as defrost, portion, and serve!

How do I balance a raw dog food diet?

Dogs require a nutritionally complete and balanced diet in order to obtain all the essential protein and nutrients that they need to truly thrive. This means a combination of high-quality protein, offal (10%), bone (10%), superfoods (and low-sugar fruit/vegetables), and omegas 3 and 6. Each of these elements combined is responsible for the ideal support of overall mental and physical health. Just as importantly, a healthy, complete and balanced diet excludes biologically inappropriate ingredients such as grains, rice, artificial additives or other fillers, which can adversely affect pet health.

Remember – a freshly prepared claim on your pet’s kibble food packaging doesn’t necessarily mean that the food if full of truly fresh wholefood ingredients.

When first starting your raw feeding journey, you may feel a little overwhelmed with all the information and recommendations you might receive. But do not let this deter you! It really is ‘easy-to-switch’ and ‘easy-to-balance’… if you listen to the raw feeding experts.

What are the benefits of raw feeding?

No matter the minimal additional effort required to maintain a raw pet food diet, we know that the benefits are absolutely worth it.

When you strip out fillers and artificial ingredients, and introduce high-quality protein and health-boosting superfoods, you’ll notice an incredible change in your pet. Better digestive health, better oral health, better coat/skin health, better joint health, calmer / happier mood… pretty much all aspects of a dog’s mental and physical health are positively impacted when their nutrition is optimised. Find out more here.

Is storing raw food difficult?

High-quality raw pet food from Nutriment is nothing like tinned or kibbled varieties. There is no funny smell, no greasy residue and no off-putting jelly or other squeamish ingredients. The high-quality of the ingredients in our recipes means that its handling and storage is no different to ingredients you may use to cook for yourself or your family at home.

Taking the usual hygiene precautions in the kitchen is more than enough to manage handling raw pet food and storing it in the freezer / defrosting it in the fridge should have no impact on other food. You simply store, defrost, spoon and serve!

Fridge storage just absolutely not possible? No problem! Our Nuggets are the ultimate solution – they quickly defrost in your dog’s bowl meaning no fridge space is required.
