What is DIY raw feeding?

DIY is another option of raw feeding if you want to prepare your dog’s food and choose exactly what they are fed.

If you are preparing your dog’s meals you need to ensure they are getting enough variety and proteins in the correct ratios; generally 80:10:10 (80% meat, 10% bone, 10% offal).

MEAT

You need to ensure your dog is getting enough variety in proteins, usually we suggest 5 different proteins a week. This will make up 80% of the diet. We suggest feeding the chunks/ minces below:

OFFAL

Offal should be fed as 10% of the diet. This should be 5% liver and 5% secreting organ such as kidney or spleen. Below are some offal options:

BONE

Raw meaty bones are a great way of ensuring your dog is getting all the nutrients they need, such as calcium. The bone content in various bones various as they are made up of meat and bone content. Shop bones below:
