- The possible pathogens (especially salmonella) which may be present in raw meat and present a danger to young puppies and more importantly, their owners.
- This is well covered by our strict ongoing testing protocoles required by Animal and Plant Health Agency under DEFRA to comply with our Licence to produce raw food for animals.
- Some vaccines are cultured in bovine serum so it could be wise to avoid beef products until after all the puppy vaccinations.
We never compromise on the quality of our products.
We advise starting with a 100% free range chicken raw dog food. Our chicken and chicken minces all contain bone. Chicken is a great type of protein to introduce your puppy to raw feeding. After that you need to try different protein types, but introduce them one at a time and keeping a food diary. If one of them doesn’t work you can go back to what you know does work and experiment and expand the diet from there.
To help new puppy owners our team has put together a Puppy Starter Pack which contains all the basics of raw feeding including:
We also have the Deluxe Raw Dog Food Puppy Starter Pack Upgrade Box in which you will receive:
- 12 x 500g of 100% Chicken Portions

There is no age of dog, cat, ferret or hedgehog that should not be fed a good, varied species appropriate raw food diet. They just need to be fed food that they and their owners, can realistically cope with.
As with all raw feeding, the meat doesn’t contain any of the additional elements a puppy will need such as herbage. By herbage we mean the appropriate beneficial nutrients and vitamins found in leafy, fast growing vegetables, herbs, fruits, seeds etc. Raw and liquidised is better than cooked.
We also advise adding a small amount of Keeper’s Mix which is derived from a recipe developed by a Dorset gamekeeper and kennel-man that contains an impressive eight ingredients. Balance is the key to this potent herbal blend which contains natural antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, fibres and complex bioactive compounds. As well as promoting a thick healthy coat, Keeper’s Mix has a positive effect on many organs and supports their function to help maintain the body’s natural balance.
All dog, but especially working dogs and animals performing at a high level of physical demands, will benefit from this product.
Ultimately, as soon as the pup (or pups) starts weening we advise getting them onto a varied healthy raw feeding diet to give them the best chances of a happy and healthy future.
The more variety of meats, fish, offal, bones, vegetable, shoots and herbs fed, the better the diet will be.
As with all our articles if you have any questions about feeding a raw dog food diet or anything health related then please do get in touch and we will get the relevant specialist to call you back.
And good luck with your new puppy!
