Feeding your dog or cat minced raw food can lead to health improvements. A raw food diet closely mimics what they would naturally eat in the wild, resulting in better digestion, a shinier coat, healthier skin, and higher energy levels. Additionally, raw diets can help reduce allergic reactions and improve dental health.
To avoid digestive issues, transition your pet gradually. Start by substituting a small portion of their current food with minced raw food, gradually increasing the raw portion while decreasing the old food. This slow transition helps your pets’ digestive system adjust. For more information read our How to Introduce Raw Feeding with Your Pet Guide.
Raw diets for pets are generally safe but require careful handling to prevent bacterial contamination. Proper hygiene and storage practices are crucial to minimise risks. If your pet has any existing health concerns please seek veterinary advice before implementing any diet changes.
The amount of minced raw food you should feed your dog or cat varies depending on their weight, age, breed and activity level. Please see our guide on how much raw food to feed your dog or cat (https://www.nurturingbynature.co.uk/how-much-to-feed)
Puppies can be fed minced raw dog food, but their nutritional requirements are different from adult dogs. Puppies need more protein and fat for development and may require feeding more frequently.
Store minced raw pet food in the refrigerator if it will be used within a few days or freeze it for longer-term storage. Thaw portions as needed, avoiding leaving raw food out at room temperature for extended periods to prevent bacterial growth.
It's possible to mix minced raw food with kibble or canned pet food. This can help transition to a raw diet or offer nutritional variety. However, ensure the overall diet remains balanced and introduce any changes slowly to monitor your pet's reaction and digestive health.
