Deciding to raw feed your canine companion is a highly beneficial decision for their overall health. When new to or transitioning to raw feeding, there is an abundance of information available, which can be overwhelming. It's important to recognize that each dog has unique requirements and nutritional needs, and a one-size-fits-all approach is not applicable.

Dogs Choice Raw Food LTD is dedicated to guiding you through your dog's raw feeding journey. We offer complimentary consultations to tailor a raw feeding program specific to your dog's needs, taking into account their breed, age, weight, and any health or dietary considerations. These consultations provide valuable peace of mind, as we'll advise you on not only what to feed, but also the appropriate quantities and timing. Even after you've established a raw feeding routine, we'll continue to support you, ensuring your canine friend thrives on the nutritional benefits of a raw diet.

Non-complete minces have varying amounts of meat, sometimes with or without offal, and may be boneless or have a higher bone content. These minces are used as an ingredient in raw meals.

Non-complete minces are ideal for DIY raw feeders. Once your dog has adjusted, you can slowly introduce a balanced raw diet, with 80% protein, 10% bone, and 10% offal.

For example, you could feed a non-complete lamb and chicken mince with 25% bone and some tripe chunks, then a boneless beef and tripe mince, and the next day a complete 80/10/10 turkey mince. Observe your dog's digestive response and introduce changes slowly and in small portions to achieve a nutritional balance over time.

Tripe is a wonderful natural treat for your furry friend! This untreated stomach lining from ruminating animals has a unique aroma and texture that dogs simply adore. The color and scent can vary depending on the animal's diet, but green tripe is the most natural and unprocessed form. Lamb and goat tripe tend to be lower in fat compared to ox or beef varieties.

Tripe is a true superfood for dogs! It's packed with natural probiotics and gastric juices that aid digestion and nutrient absorption. Plus, it boosts the immune system, supports healthy muscle development, and keeps their skin and coat looking great.

Tripe also contains essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which are crucial for strong bones and teeth. It's also rich in amino acids that promote muscle recovery and repair, as well as antibody production.

Your pup will go wild for the irresistible smell and texture of tripe. It makes a delicious meal on its own or can be mixed with other proteins. Tripe is also a fantastic way to introduce new flavors and get your dog excited about their food.

As raw dog food is completely natural, free from unnecessary fillers and additives, your dog’s stool will be noticeably smaller and far, far less smelly.

The perfect poop should be easily passed, and be firm but not hard, will maintain its shape when picked up, and the colour will vary depending on the type of protein eaten and the amount of calcium from the bone content left.

Stool consistency and colour is an indicator of how your dog is digestively responding to their raw diet, and reflects what ingredients have been fed:

Yellow Stool: feeding a diet high in poultry such as chicken and turkey.
Dark Brown Stool: feeding red meat, such as beef or lamb.
Dark Black Stool: a raw meal containing a lot of blood will result in a black stool. The excess blood from the diet oxidizes in the colon, resulting in very dark stool. Organs such as liver and spleen have high amounts of blood present and can make a dog’s stool darker.
Tar-Like Stool: an unformed or loose tar-like stool is caused when there’s too much organ meat in the diet. Organ meat should consist no more than 10% of a dog’s diet and be made up of 5% liver and 5% other secreting organ (such as kidney, spleen or pancreas).
White/Grey Chalky Stool: hard and chalky stools mean that there is too much bone content present in the diet. To remedy, feed one boneless meal, and return to meals with a lower bone content.

Embrace the power of variety in your dog's diet! Feeding a diverse range of proteins, textures, and mixes will not only keep your furry friend engaged and satisfied but also provide them with a wealth of nutritional benefits. Just as humans thrive on a varied diet, your canine companion will flourish when presented with new and exciting culinary experiences. Unlock their full potential by introducing new ingredients gradually, allowing their taste buds to explore and their bodies to adapt. Embark on this journey of discovery together, and watch your dog's enthusiasm and well-being soar to new heights!
