As with our own diet, your four-legged friend needs a varied and balanced food intake. There are many factors to consider including age, amount of exercise, overall body weight, and breed when creating a food plan. Feeding raw may seem a little daunting, but we promise there are many benefits. Here is our guide to help, it's not as complicated as it can sound!

Puppies have higher calorie requirements than adult dogs, we suggest offering around 8-10% of their bodyweight at weaning, gradually decreasing to 5% at 6 months then continually decreasing to 2-3% at adulthood.

(Please ask your vet for further guidance if required.)

Your Basil’s Raw Dog Food delivery will arrive frozen, keep your raw dog food chubs in the freezer and defrost in the bottom of your fridge in a sealed container, as you would any other meat-based product.

Most dogs can’t believe their luck the first time they are given Basil’s, some dogs will have a flavour preference and that’s ok - just adjust your next box to suit your dogs taste! Starting your dog’s new diet does not need to be gradual, you can switch over for the next meal. We suggest starting with one variety such as chicken and then introduce more over time.

Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after use. All our raw food is not intended for human consumption. Use within 48 hours of defrosting.
