Raw feeding
How much raw food should my dog eat?
As a guide, the Royal Kennel Club says 2%–3% of body weight a day for adult dogs, and active dogs need to eat more. Our calculator works it out for you.
Is raw dog food safe?
It carries real risks: the Food Standards Agency found harmful bacteria in 35% of raw pet food samples. Careful storage, defrosting and hygiene reduce the risk, and raw isn't the right choice for every household.
How do I defrost raw dog food?
In its packaging on the bottom shelf of the fridge. Bella & Duke says it takes around 24 hours and keeps for up to four days once defrosted.
Is this veterinary advice?
No. We're dog owners sharing what we've learned. Speak to your vet before changing your dog's diet.
