Is Raw Feeding Right for Your Dog?

You've probably heard the buzz around raw feeding but is it actually worth it, and where do you even start? The short answer is yes, it can be brilliant for dogs, but like anything, it works best when you understand the basics.

Raw feeding is based on what dogs would naturally eat. Real meat, bone and offal, without the fillers, additives and processing that come with most commercial foods. Dogs fed a balanced raw diet often show improvements in coat condition, digestion, energy levels, dental health and even temperament.

The key word is balanced. Raw feeding done right isn't just chucking a chicken leg in a bowl. It follows an 80/10/10 ratio of muscle meat, bone and offal, and variety is important to ensure your dog gets everything they need nutritionally.

It's also more accessible than people think. Pre-made raw chubs (like the ones we stock from Southcliffe) take all the guesswork out. Just defrost and serve. No prep, no mess, no complicated ratios to work out yourself.

Whether you're curious, considering a transition, or already feeding raw and want to learn more, we've put together a full step-by-step Raw Feeding Guide covering everything from getting started to how much to feed, which proteins to choose and beyond.
