Feeding your dog is one of the most personal choices you’ll ever make—and one of the most important. At Naked Dog, we believe in the power of raw feeding because we’ve seen firsthand how a natural, species-appropriate diet can transform the lives of dogs.
If you’ve ever wondered “why should I feed raw dog food?” or whether it’s right for your pup, you’re not alone. More and more owners are discovering the benefits of switching to raw dog food—and here’s why.
What Is a Raw Dog Food Diet?
At its core, raw feeding is about going back to basics. It’s a diet made from real, natural ingredients—meat, bone, organ, and carefully selected vegetables or superfoods.
✅ Nothing artificial
✅ No fillers, grains, or processed nasties
✅ Just honest food, tailored to how dogs are naturally meant to eat
Depending on what works for you and your dog, you can choose:
-
Complete raw dog food – nutritionally balanced meals that meet FEDIAF standards, giving your dog everything they need in one bowl.
-
80-10-10 raw dog food – made up of 80% meat, 10% bone, and 10% offal. A great choice for experienced feeders or those managing allergies, but not complete on its own unless combined with supplements or rotation.
The Benefits of Feeding Raw
🐾 1. Healthier Skin & Shinier Coats
Many owners notice shinier coats and healthier skin after switching to raw dog food. Natural fats, oils, and amino acids in raw meat nourish from the inside out—reducing itchiness, dryness, and flakiness.
🦴 2. Stronger Teeth & Fresher Breath
Crunching through raw meaty bones helps keep teeth clean and gums healthy, reducing tartar build-up. It’s a natural dental solution—without artificial chews or additives.
💩 3. Smaller, Firmer Stools
One of the first changes owners see? Easier clean-up. With highly digestible raw ingredients and no fillers, stools are typically smaller, firmer, and less smelly.
⚡ 4. More Energy & Vitality
Raw feeding provides natural proteins and fats in their most bioavailable form. Better absorption means more energy for play, learning, and exploring.
🧠 5. Supports Focus & Behaviour
Balanced nutrition supports calmer behaviour and improved focus—something many trainers and working dog owners notice when switching to complete raw dog food.
Is Raw Dog Food Right for Every Dog?
Every dog is unique, and while raw feeding suits most, some may need tailored support. That’s why we offer both complete raw dog food (for everyday balanced feeding) and 80-10-10 dog food (for those who want to build or customise their dog’s diet).
Transitioning doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing, either. Many owners start by mixing raw with their dog’s current food, gradually building up to a fully raw diet.
