How to Make Feeding Raw Dog Food Easy: Tips That Work

Switching to raw dog food can feel overwhelming at first, especially if you’re used to the convenience of kibble. But the good news is, with a little planning and the right supplier, it’s entirely possible to simplify the process. Whether you're new to raw feeding or just looking for ways to streamline your routine, here’s how to make feeding raw dog food easy.

Many South African pet parents are now choosing raw feeding for its health benefits, but staying consistent without overcomplicating things is the real secret.

Keep a Simple Freezer Routine

Designate a section in your freezer for your dog’s food and rotate meals so nothing goes to waste. Most raw meals keep well frozen for months, and having a weekly thawing schedule makes life easier.

Use airtight containers in the fridge to hold defrosted portions for the next day or two, this also keeps your fridge tidy and hygienic.

Use Feeding Times as Structure

Just like with kibble, feeding raw dog food should be part of a consistent routine. Most dogs do well with one or two meals a day. Having a set time for feeding helps them settle into the new diet and can also make digestion more predictable.

Practise Good Hygiene (but Don’t Stress)

Raw food is still food, so follow the same hygiene habits you would with preparing meat for your own family. Wash your hands, wipe surfaces, and use clean bowls. There’s no need to panic; with proper handling.

In fact, many raw-fed dogs have fewer stomach upsets than those on heavily processed diets.

Partner With a Reliable Stockist

A trusted raw dog food stockist can make all the difference. Look for a stockist that provides meal plans, delivery options, and customer support. This takes the guesswork out of balancing nutrients and ensures your dog gets everything they need.
