Product Information

1. How are your products made?
All of our products are made in small 1200Lb batches to ensure quality control. We start by weighing all of our different sources to guarantee a perfectly measured 80/10/10 dog food diet every time. Once our products are weighed, they are sent through our grinder, mixed, pattied, and then packaged before heading out to delivery.

2. Do you use HPP?
None of our products are High Pressure Pasteurized.

3. What do the patties weigh?
Each patty weighs about 8 ounces and medallions will vary from 2-3 ounces. 

4. Are your products antibiotic and hormone-free?
All of our products are produced without administering antibiotic, steroid, and hormones.

5. Are your animals grass-fed?
Our animals are grass-fed and pastured-raised with the exception of winter months when some supplemental feeding may be required. ?

6. Do I need to add any supplements?
For an overall healthy pet, no. A balanced 80/10/10 dog food, nutrient-rich diet, made with quality ingredients has everything your dog requires. Pet's with certain diseases or health concerns may require additional supplements. We believe in Omega 3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and probiotics on an as-needed basis.

7. Do I need to add any fruits, vegetables, grains?
RawFedK9 is a Prey Model Raw diet and does not believe in feeding fruits, vegetables, or grains. Your dog's pancreas only produces a small amount of amylase. Feeding fruit and vegetables will put a strain on the pancreas as it attempts to break these things down as they are not designed to digest these. Not only that but carbs, and especially fruit can cause yeast issues due to the sugar. Allergies can be blamed on the inclusion of veg in the diet as well. Another important consideration is Omega 3. Omega 3 is very important for healthy brain function, eyesight, skin and coat condition, etc. Balancing Omega 3 and Omega 6 is important as Omega 6 is inflammatory and 3 is anti-inflammatory. Dogs require Omega 3s EPA and DHA whereas plants contain ALA. When a herbivore eats plants it can convert ALA to EPA and DHA and therefore when your carnivore eats the herbivore it gets the correct fatty acids it needs! Your dog cannot convert ALA to EPA and DHA. 

8. Are all of your mixes a complete and balanced diet?
Yes! All of our complete raw dog food mixes are a fully balanced 80/10/10 Prey Model Raw diet.

Feeding Tips / Transitioning

1. How to properly transition
Please see our Raw Feeding Guide page for a full breakdown of transitioning your dog to our food.

2. Feeding frozen vs thawed
Each dog is different and your dog will experience some changes as they begin their new raw diet. Your dog will likely experience loose stools as they begin their transition. It is important to remember that loose stools are not diarrhea. Your dog's new raw diet is much more nutrient-rich and your dog may experience detoxification as the body cleanses itself of toxins.

3. Will my meat spoil if left out too long?
Yes, this is raw meat and it can spoil the same as any other raw meat. With that being said,  while meat that is left out too long may affect us, humans, the great thing about our dogs and cats is that they are not affected by the same bacteria that we are due to their shorter digestive tracts and a higher level of acidity.

4. How much should my dog eat?
Please use the raw feeding calculator on the raw feeding guide or a product page to determine your pet's daily feeding amount.

5. Why are my dog's stools much smaller?
Your dog's stools are smaller because the raw diet that they are now transitioning to is being digested and fully utilized by their bodies. Fillers in your dog's previous diet, which are not utilized are passed through digestion and back out of the body which is why the stools are much larger.

6. Why is my dog drinking less water?
Raw diets are much higher in moisture, most of our Complete Mixes are over 60% moisture, typical of raw food. This means that your dog is getting more moisture from their diet, which is not requiring them to drink as much. The moisture is completely removed from kibble, which also has added sodium, causing your dog to be thirsty more often.

7. Why is my dog vomiting?
There are several reasons your dog may be vomiting. Vomiting is a normal response to detox and your dog may experience this during their transition to their new raw diet. Dogs new to their raw diet also may regurgitate their food and begin to eat again, this is typically due to the dog eating too fast. If the vomit is loose and yellow, this is called yellow bile which means the dog's stomach is empty, try splitting your dog's daily amount into smaller but more frequent meals throughout the day.
