General Guides

Variety is key when raw feeding. This ensures your pet gets all the nutrients it needs to promote health and vitality.

Meats & Fish

Muscle Meats - Provide higher levels of minerals and water-soluble vitamins for a balanced diet.

Wild Game - Lean meats. Rabbit, Possum, Venison, Turkey and Wallaby are high in Omegas.

Green Tripe - Easily digested, can provide useful enzymes for digestion.

Organ Meats - Heart, kidney, liver (the latter sparingly) are high in vitamins and minerals.

Raw Fish - A source of Omega 3, which promotes a healthy coat, and helps brain health.

Bones

Must be fed raw. Choose an appropriate size according to your pet’s breed. Always supervise feeding.

Adult dog Daily amount is approximately 2-3% of your dog’s ideal weight split between two meals. Very active or working dogs may need more, whilst less active “couch-potatoes” may need less. The right amount for daily feeding is very important, and if you’ve got any queries, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Puppies:

2 - 4 months = 8-10% of body weight
4 - 6 months = 6-8% of body weight
6 - 8 months = 4-6 % of body weight
8 - 12 months = 3-4% of body weight

We advise you monitor body condition and change amounts accordingly depending on your pet's weight. This is a guide - your dog is unique with individual needs so it is important to keep in mind factors such as life stage, metabolism and exercise levels.

For an adult cat with a healthy weight, aim to feed them approximately 3% of their body weight each day divided into two servings daily.

A kitten should be fed several times per day in small quantities. Aim to feed them approximately 5-10% of their body weight per day. By the time your kitten is six months of age, these meals can be reduced to twice per day.
