Is Raw OK for Puppies?

One question we get often at Rawsome Pet Pantry is: can I feed my puppy raw? And our answer is without reservation: YES! Not only is it safe, but it’s also scientifically proven to improve digestive health* among other benefits like better coat and skin health, better dental health, and reduced food-related allergy symptoms!

Yummy and good for the tummy

Most puppies instinctively love raw food (our boy, Louie is no exception!) We feed Louie, and recommend, Albright’s Puppy Recipe, which is specially formulated for growth and development. It’s a nutritionally balanced raw diet which, unlike many commercial dog foods, has absolutely no fillers (corn, wheat, soy, rice, potatoes, beans, or peas). That means your pup won’t ingest indigestible fillers. The result: improved digestion and more efficient nutrient absorption.

Brings shine from the inside

Healthy skin and coat start with high-quality proteins and essential fatty acids found in a complete and balanced diet. Our raw food (unlike ultra-processed kibble) is minimally processed and crafted from real meat, organs, and bone. So, your puppy can look and feel his/her best!

Promotes dental and gum health

Kibble is not a tooth cleaner. For starters, most kibble brands are loaded with refined carbohydrates which can increase plaque and tartar formation. Nutritionally balanced raw diets are naturally low in starch and have little to no refined carbs, which means less plaque and tartar build-up overall.

Consider these options to keep your dog’s teeth and gums healthy:

• Dehydrated chicken or duck feet, trachea, etc.
• Raw meaty bones

Besides being tasty treats, they're packed with essential vitamins and minerals and can help keep your puppy's teeth clean and healthy, reducing the risk of dental diseases.

Say Buh-Bye to Allergy Symptoms

Just like people, our pets can have food allergies and sensitivities. Opting for a nutritionally balanced raw diet made of premium, human-grade, all natural, and non-synthetic ingredients gives you more insight of what your pup is consuming so you can help reduce food-related allergy symptoms. 

We hope this information helps you and your pet stay happy and healthy on your Rawsome feeding adventure.

*In 2023, New Scientist published a study which demonstrated that dogs consuming a raw diet had better gut health compared to those on kibble.
