Dogs are biologically made to process a raw food diet, along with naturally occurring bacteria. The highly acidic pH of their stomach and accompanying short digestive tract assists passing of pathogens, without any health concerns. However, to be safe please ensure proper storage and handling methods are followed to avoid the development of harmful bacteria.
Our batches are regularly lab tested and have always passed bacterial standards & tested negative every time.
Our production kitchen is NKV certified ensuring we meet hygiene-sanitation requirements.
Dogs eating raw meat don’t suffer any more worms than dogs on other diets. Your dog is far more likely to acquire worms at the beach or on a walk checking out the pit-stops of other dogs.
If you suspect your dog may have been exposed we suggest visiting your vet with a stool sample and ask them to check and get a worm count done for you. If no eggs are found, there is no need to worm your dog.
It’s a total myth that you need to worm your raw fed dog every month.
It is okay and safe to feed your dog dry food and raw food at the same time, however, if your dog has a sensitive or unhealthy digestive system we suggest adding probiotics or avoid mixing.
