Better In The Raw Dog Food
Better In The Raw Dog Food is a human grade dry ingredient pre-mix for preparing a balanced canine raw meat diet for all life stages. No grains of any kind are used as fillers. Just add water, raw meat, and liver. With Better In The Raw you add both Raw Meat and Liver for the best possible diet for your dog. If you can't get raw liver easily in your area you can either purchase our dry liver supplement or get Better In The Raw - With Liver.
This is a dog food that is home prepared by the pet caregiver and affords you complete control of your dog's diet. As with so many things in life, effort is directly related to reward.
Preparation of Better In The Raw
BETTER IN THE RAW is designed to be combined with water, raw meat, fresh liver, and optional vegetables in the amounts and proportions stated in our literature. It is not a food for dogs on its own nor meant to be a sprinkle-on vitamin supplement. No additional supplementation is necessary when feeding this raw meat based diet. All other dog foods should be removed from the dog's meal plan, including dry food.
Preparation is simple and only requires combination of:
- ½ cup BETTER IN THE RAW
- 1 ½* cups water
- 2lb (900g) raw meat.
- 1/4lb(113g) fresh liver (chopped or pureed), or 1 tbsp Liver powder.
- ½lb (225g) vegetables, chopped and steamed (vegetables are optional).
Larger batches can be made and frozen for convenience.
(* Add more water if desired - especially when preparing the food using ground meat.)
- Pour the cold water into a bowl, add BETTER IN THE RAW powder, and whisk immediately into the water.
- The product will create a semi-gelatinous texture within a few minutes.
- Thoroughly, but gently combine your choice of meat and liver and, if desired, vegetables with the moistened mixture.
- Divide into serving sizes based on the weight of your dog. - 1/2lb for a 20-25lb dog, 1lb for a 50-60 lb dog, 2lb for a 100lb dog
- Freeze the finished product immediately for storage. Thaw as needed.
- Thaw frozen dog food by warming to room temperature in a warm water bath before serving and remove un-eaten food within 30 minutes to be refrigerated. Do not leave the raw food out at room temperature.
Avoid microwaving on a regular basis.
The dog food food will keep fresh for 24 hours once thawed and refrigerated.
