Is raw feeding time consuming?

Making the switch to a raw diet for your cat or dog isn’t as time consuming as you might think

When considering changing from processed pet foot to raw feeding, like most things in life, it can be as efficient or as time consuming as you make it. At Nurturing by Nature, we have made the process as easy as possible, from providing whole foods to providing expert advice.

For a raw diet that is tailored to your pet, taking into consideration their breed, age and weight, take a look at our product range or pop in and see us for a chat today.

Buying raw dog food or cat food is easy

We’ve ensured that buying the ingredients for feeding a raw dog food or cat food diet is a simple and convenient process so you can increase your pet’s quality of life without impacting on yours. You can choose to reserve and collect your raw pet food from one of our local stores or we can deliver it straight to your front door using our courier service. Don’t worry if you’re going to be out, we can leave the parcel in a safe place and, thanks to its special thermal protective packaging, it will remain at a safe temperature for up to 24 hours.

All our raw feeding products come handily packaged and frozen, so when you get your food home or when it is delivered, all you'll need to do is simply place it in the freezer and make sure it is thoroughly defrosted for feeding time.

When Nurturing by Nature was founded in the family kitchen back in 2004, all of the family dogs’ meals were prepared in the family kitchen, although nowadays our products are made in our fully DEFRA licensed factory, so we have learned a thing or two about how to make raw feeding your pet as efficient as possible. Why not take advantage of this first-hand knowledge and try out some of our home-grown recipe ideas for your pet?

Making the switch to raw feeding

The initial switch to a raw dog food diet is more daunting to us humans than it is to our canine or feline four-legged friends and it can take time to fully understand the raw pet food diet, especially if you’re worried about bacteria (it’s nothing to be concerned about though!). When you begin feeding raw pet food to your pet, you may find it takes more time than usual as we recommend slowly introducing raw feeding. However, we are confident that even after just a few days, you will have settled into your new routine.

The typical routine when feeding a raw dog food diet:

As you can see from the below example, feeding raw doesn’t mean dedicating huge amounts of your time preparing pet food. Indeed, often the most-time consuming element is worrying about remembering to take it out of the freezer(!).

• Step 1) Defrost the food in a fridge (We like to place the food in a separate Tupperware container)

• Step 2) Portion out the food

• Step 3) Feed your pet

• Step 4) Wash the food bowl up after
