When you first step into the world of raw dog food, it can feel like there’s a whole new language to learn. One of the first questions many owners ask is: “What is the difference between complete and 80-10-10 raw dog food?”
At Naked Dog, we’re here to make raw feeding easy to understand — and even easier to get right. Here’s everything you need to know about complete raw dog food and 80-10-10 dog food, plus guidance on what raw dog food you should feed your dog.
🍗 What Is Complete Raw Dog Food?
A complete raw dog food diet provides everything your dog needs in a single meal. These recipes are carefully balanced to meet FEDIAF nutritional guidelines (the European gold standard for pet nutrition).
Inside every Naked Dog Complete meal you’ll find:
-
Premium raw meat, bone, and offal (the foundation of raw feeding).
-
Natural extras like vegetables, berries, seeds, and cold-pressed oils.
-
Essential vitamins and minerals — nothing artificial, ever.
✅ No need to add anything else.
✅ Perfect for daily feeding.
✅ Ideal for beginners and busy owners.
If you’re new to raw feeding, or simply want reassurance that your dog is getting balanced nutrition in every bowl, complete raw dog food takes the stress and guesswork out of feeding raw.
🥩 What Is 80-10-10 Raw Dog Food?
The term 80-10-10 dog food refers to a simple ratio:
-
80% meat
-
10% bone
-
10% offal
This style of feeding is popular with experienced raw feeders and those managing specific dietary needs (such as allergies or elimination diets).
Our Naked Dog 80-10-10 range uses single proteins with no added extras, giving you complete control over what goes in the bowl.
But here’s the key difference: 80-10-10 is not a complete raw diet on its own unless it’s part of a varied feeding plan. Dogs need a wider variety of nutrients than meat, bone, and organ alone can provide. That’s why we always recommend:
-
Rotating proteins.
-
Adding whole foods or natural supplements.
-
Using 80-10-10 as part of a balanced approach.
⚖️ Complete vs 80-10-10 Raw Dog Food
| Feed Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| Complete | Everyday feeding, beginners, busy owners, balanced nutrition, peace of mind |
| 80-10-10 | Experienced feeders, elimination diets, dogs with allergies or sensitivities |
If you’re asking “What raw dog food should I feed?”, the answer depends on your goals. For most owners, complete raw dog food is the easiest and safest way to ensure balanced nutrition. If you prefer to curate your dog’s diet more precisely, 80-10-10 dog food offers flexibility and quality — but requires extra planning.
🐾 Complimentary Dog Food: Where Does It Fit?
You might also see the term complimentary dog food. This refers to foods that are not complete on their own, but designed to be fed alongside other foods or supplements. Our 80-10-10 range falls into this category.
By combining complimentary dog food like 80-10-10 with natural extras (or supplements such as Naked Dog The Answer), you can make it into a fully balanced diet.
