Frequently Asked Questions
How much raw food should I feed my dog?

What is the 80/10/10 raw feeding ratio?
The 80/10/10 ratio is a common guideline for raw feeding: 80% muscle meat (including fat), 10% raw meaty bones (for calcium), and 10% organ meat (with half being liver). Some models also add vegetables and fruit at 5-10%.
Is a raw food diet safe for dogs?

Critics and many veterinary organizations warn about bacterial contamination, nutritional imbalances, and bone hazards. If you choose raw feeding, work with a veterinary nutritionist to ensure complete and balanced nutrition.
