Find out how to safely feed your dog a complete, nutrient-rich raw diet for better health and vitality.
Why Choose Frozen Raw Dog Food for Your Pet?
For many pet owners, the choice to feed their dog a raw diet isn't just a trend – it's a commitment to their pet’s long-term health. Frozen raw dog food, like the premium options from Raw Fed and Furry, provides a diet that more closely mimics what dogs would naturally eat in the wild, delivering unmatched nutritional benefits. But despite its growing popularity, many pet owners still have concerns about making the switch. This guide is designed to address those worries, offering practical advice and insights into why raw feeding could be the best choice for your dog.
The Benefits of a Raw Diet: Why It’s Worth the Switch
Switching to a raw diet offers numerous benefits, including improved coat quality, increased energy, better digestion, and a stronger immune system. Unlike highly processed kibble, raw dog food is minimally processed, retaining essential nutrients that support overall well-being. Here’s why more pet owners in Ottawa and surrounding areas are making the switch:
Healthier Skin and Coat – High-quality protein and essential fatty acids promote a shiny coat and healthier skin.
Stronger Teeth and Gums – Chewing raw meat helps naturally clean your dog’s teeth.
Better Digestion – A species-appropriate diet can lead to smaller, less odorous stools and fewer digestive issues.
Natural Weight Management – Lean proteins and balanced fat levels help dogs maintain a healthy weight.
Addressing the Top 4 Pain Points for Raw Feeding

1. Digestive Concerns When Switching to Raw
It’s common for pet owners to worry about digestive upsets when transitioning their dogs to a raw diet. The good news is that with the right approach, this change can be made smoothly:
Start Slowly – Begin by mixing small amounts of raw food with your dog’s current diet, gradually increasing the proportion over 7-10 days.
Choose High-Quality, Fresh Ingredients – At Raw Fed and Furry, our frozen raw dog food is made from free-range meats and organic vegetables, minimizing the risk of digestive issues.
Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes – Adding these can help your dog’s gut adjust to the new diet.
2. Ensuring Nutritional Completeness
One of the biggest myths about raw feeding is that it’s nutritionally incomplete. However, a properly formulated raw diet provides all the essential nutrients dogs need:
Balanced, Species-Appropriate Nutrition – Our recipes are crafted to mimic the natural prey diet of canines, ensuring a balanced intake of protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals.
No Artificial Additives – Unlike many commercial kibbles, our raw dog food is free from artificial preservatives, colours, and fillers.
Complete and Balanced Formulas – Every product from Raw Fed and Furry is designed to meet AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) standards for balanced nutrition.
3. Safe Handling of Raw Dog Food
Safety is a top priority for raw feeders. Here’s how to ensure a clean and healthy feeding experience:
Store Properly – Keep frozen raw food in a freezer until ready to use and thaw in the refrigerator to reduce the risk of bacterial growth.
Use Clean Bowls and Utensils – Regularly sanitize feeding bowls and surfaces to prevent cross-contamination.
Practice Good Hygiene – Wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat.
At Raw Fed and Furry, we prioritize quality control, sourcing our ingredients from trusted suppliers and maintaining strict safety standards. This ensures your dog gets only the freshest, safest food possible.
