Frequently asked Questions about Raw Pet Food
Yes, Smack Dog Food is an excellent choice for dogs. Made with organic, non-GMO, and human-grade ingredients, Smack delivers balanced nutrition to support your dog’s overall health. Its minimally processed recipes retain vital nutrients, making it a safe and nutritious option for pets.

Commercialised dry kibble and canned dog food is typically cooked at a level where a large percentage of nutrients are lost. In standard dry dog food there are also a number of non nutritious and unnatural ingredients such as wheat, grains, Butylated-hydroxyanisole (BHA) or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). These are typically used to bind the biscuits together, bulk out the food and/ or prevent spoiling.
A raw fed diet (when fed properly) not only ensures your dog is getting all natural ingredients but that those simple ingredients are providing 100% of their nutritional needs. There are no fillers, no unnatural colourants, flavourings or preservatives. It’s just simple, well balanced and highly nutritious meat, bone offal and veggies.
Cooked and dehydrated bones? Yes, because they’re brittle and can splinter as the moisture has been removed. But the ones used in raw feeding, whether you’ve done your research or you’re purchasing pre-prepared complete raw meals are safe.
Raw bones are soft, chewy and easy to digest. They’re an essential part of a raw diet as they provide your dog with essential fatty acids and minerals as well as helping to stimulate the production of saliva to prevent plaque build up.
