Why feed raw?
At Raw2Door, we believe dogs thrive on food that’s closer to nature.
Many of our customers switch to raw because they’re looking for a simpler, more natural way to feed — without unnecessary processing.
Common benefits of raw feeding include:
- Improved digestion and smaller, firmer poo
- Healthier skin and a shinier coat
- Better dental health from natural ingredients
- Increased excitement at mealtimes
- Support for overall wellbeing
Every dog is different, but many owners notice positive changes within weeks of switching.
How much should I feed my dog?
Feeding raw doesn’t need to be complicated.
As a starting guide:
- Adult dogs: 2–3% of body weight per day
- More active dogs: may need a little more
- Less active dogs: may need a little less
For example:
- A 10kg dog typically eats around 200–300g per day

Our feeding guide is a general recommendation. Every dog is different, so you may need to adjust portions based on your dog’s weight, condition and activity level. If you’re usure, check with your vet.
How do I transition my dog onto raw?
Most dogs adapt very quickly to raw feeding.
Option 1: Straight switch
Many dogs can move directly onto raw from their current food.
Option 2: Gradual transition
Ideal for sensitive dogs:
- Day 1–2: 25% raw
- Day 3–4: 50% raw
- Day 5–6: 75% raw
- Day 7: 100% raw
Top tips:
- Start with a simple protein like chicken or turkey
- Keep it consistent in the first few days
- Expect minor digestive changes — this is completely normal
What does 80/10/10 mean?
Our meals follow a trusted and natural feeding model:
- 80% meat
- 10% bone
- 10% offal (including liver and other organs)
This balance mirrors a dog’s natural diet and helps provide the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
What is “complete” raw food?
“Complete” means exactly that — everything your dog needs, nothing you don’t.
Our complete recipes are:
- Carefully balanced
- Nutritionally appropriate
- Ready to feed on their own
No extras required. No guesswork.
Do I need to add anything to Raw2Door meals?
No — our complete meals are designed to be fed as they are.
Some owners like to add extras such as oils or treats for variety, but this is entirely optional.
How should I store raw dog food?
Keeping your raw food in great condition is easy:
- Store in the freezer until needed
- Defrost in the fridge
- Once thawed, use within 24–48 hours
How do I defrost and serve raw food?
Defrosting:
- Leave in the fridge overnight or until fully thawed
- Avoid defrosting at room temperature
Serving:
- Serve raw (never cooked)
- Portion according to your dog’s needs
- Remove any uneaten food after feeding time
Once you’re into a routine, it becomes second nature.
Is raw dog food safe?
Yes — when handled properly, raw feeding is perfectly safe.
It’s no different to handling raw meat in your own kitchen:
- Wash hands after handling
- Clean surfaces and bowls
- Store food correctly
Simple, sensible hygiene is all that’s needed.
Is raw feeding suitable for every dog?
Raw feeding suits most healthy dogs, but it’s not one-size-fits-all.
You may want to seek advice if your dog:
- Has an existing medical condition
- Is very young or elderly
- Has specific dietary needs
If in doubt, speak to your vet
Will my dog’s digestion change?
Yes — this is a positive sign.
When switching to raw, you’ll often notice:
- Smaller, firmer poo
- Less frequent toileting
- Improved digestion over time
Some dogs take a few days to adjust — this is completely normal.
