RAW DIET
DRY DIET
A Raw Diet consists of raw meat with fresh vegetables.
If you decide to prep your own dog’s meals avoid meat/fish with bones, especially if you decide to give cooked meat.
Ensure food preparation surfaces and dog bowls are cleaned between meals and store meat appropriately in the fridge or freezer.
A Dry diet consists of dry kibble biscuit.
A quick mess free alternative to a raw diet.
You can feed dry kibble by its self or mix it with raw meat.
Dry kibble can be used as a filler when mixed with raw food.
Ensure dry food in stored in a dry sealed contained/ dog food bin.

“ If you decide to switch up your dog’s food always transition slowly of a couple of days.
This will avoid any upset tummies especially with puppies. “
