Raw Frozen Dog Food

Many canned and kibble dog food brands claim to be the healthiest option for your beloved pet. Unfortunately, many pet food varieties contain harmful or unnecessary ingredients and preservatives to make them last longer on the shelf. But there is a healthier alternative, frozen dog food delivery!

Healthy, frozen pet food can last just as long in storage if kept frozen, and your dogs will love it. Frozen raw dog food is significantly less processed, which makes it the perfect option for getting your dog on a healthy but enjoyable diet. Dogs love our pre-blended formulas of 80% meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ, making raw feeding easy.

• Contains nutrition for your dog’s physiological needs
• An optimal diet consists of meat, organ, and bone, which our blends provide

Frozen dog foods can have as much flavor as kibble, or even more. Pure, raw meat appeals to the taste buds of almost any dog. Virtually any type of meat can be integrated into raw frozen food for pets. From chicken and turkey to venison, cow, and even goat, the possibilities are endless.

We formulate all of our frozen dog food blends to contain the right amount of organs, meat, and bone to provide all the nutrients your dog needs to thrive. Most dogs adapt quickly to the new change, but if your dog is picky or has a sensitive stomach, you can transition them to frozen dog food slowly.

Just like all meat, it’s important to handle it correctly. Leaving raw meat dog food in the “temperature danger zone” for too long leaves it more susceptible to bacterial contamination. The specific time frames depend on the temperature of the room where the meat is being stored.

More than two hours at temperature between 40 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit puts any raw meat at risk of spoilage and contamination. More than one hour at any temperature above 90 degrees Fahrenheit has the same effect. Once the meat has sat out too long, it’s often recommended to throw it away. Re-freezing it after that will not eliminate the bacteria if they are already present. Freezing and cold storage do not kill bacteria. Cold temperatures only slow or stop bacterial growth and reproduction.

Be sure to wash and sanitize all surfaces before and after handling raw pet food or any other raw meat product.

If you need to defrost frozen food for dogs before feeding it to them, it’s not the best idea to leave it on the counter and wait. This could put it in the temperature danger zone for too long. This is especially likely if you’re not careful and don’t put it back in the fridge as soon as it thaws.

Instead, you can let the frozen raw dog food sit in the refrigerator or cold water until it reaches the desired temperature. If the meat was for a human, microwaving it on defrost mode would also work. However, most vets recommend against doing this for dogs, so letting it thaw in the fridge is the easiest choice.

Many dogs find it easier to bite into raw dog food after it’s been defrosted. But if your dog doesn’t have dental or stomach issues, giving it to them straight from the freezer won’t hurt them. In fact, giving raw dog food to your pooch while it’s still frozen may even help them eat more slowly if they have the habit of wolfing down their meals.

Some dogs may not like eating frozen dog food, while others seem to love it. It all depends on your particular dog and what they prefer. Try it both ways and see which one your dog likes best!

Is frozen raw dog food safe for dogs?

As long as you handle frozen raw dog food according to safe handling guidelines, there are no severe safety concerns for healthy dogs. If you don’t thaw the meat first, make sure that your dog doesn’t try to swallow the frozen chunk whole.

If your dog has any preexisting health conditions, you may want to consult a specialist before giving your dog frozen meat. Dental issues and tummy trouble may change how you have to feed your pet. If your dog seems to have trouble chewing the raw food while still frozen or experiences any pain while doing so, it may be cold sensitivity – a possible sign of dental issues. Consult your vet about your dog’s teeth before giving them raw dog food that is still frozen.

Is a frozen raw meat diet for dogs healthy?

As with any health advice, there can be certain exceptions. That said, it’s generally good for most dogs’ health, as they are primarily carnivorous and thrive on a meat-based diet with some vegetables. The proteins and fatty acids contained in frozen raw meat offer essential nutrients to most dogs and can help them improve their energy levels.

Frozen cat food and frozen raw dog food are far healthier for your pets than kibble and processed canned food. Canned food is heat-processed and often full of thickeners and stabilizers, while kibble is usually full of cheap carbohydrates and fillers. Many kinds of commercial food use waste meat and by-products to meet the protein thresholds promised on the label. In contrast, Raw Paws pet food contains high-quality protein from beef, chicken, turkey, goat, lamb, and pork. With so many flavors and sources to choose from, even dogs with allergies can find the right food to help them thrive!

How often can I give my dog frozen raw meat for dogs?

We will help you formulate a custom feeding plan based on your dog’s breed, size, age, and weight. How much to feed and how often will vary depending on a number of factors, mainly your dog’s breed and size.

In most cases, juvenile and adult dogs can have feedings between two and four times a day, and elderly dogs might only need it once or twice a day. Overfeeding your dog can cause its kidneys and other organs to work harder, which could lead to health issues and obesity. Therefore, making sure you give them the right servings of frozen pet food is essential to keeping your dog healthy and happy well into old age.

Where can I get frozen raw meat for my dog?

Frozen raw meat for dogs is starting to become more mainstream. Still, it can be hard to find reliably, and knowing which one to choose can be difficult. Consider the raw frozen meat, bone, and organ blends offered by Raw Paws Pet Food. Our blends are affordable and deliver reliable. We offer frozen raw dog food mealplans and auto-delivery, so you can have monthly shipments delivered straight to your door and never worry about running out.

Is raw dog food species appropriate?

Your dog is descended from wolves. Wolves, coyotes, and foxes all seek out meat as often as possible. While most canine species can subsist on berries and other vegetation at need, they prefer a mainly-meat diet with a smaller percentage of vegetables. Dogs naturally love meat, bone, and organs – which is why we formulated all of our raw, frozen dog food blends to appeal to every dog’s basic instincts.
