A general rule of thumb for adult dogs is to feed between 2% to 3% of their ideal body weight per day. For example, a 10kg dog might need roughly 200g–300g of raw food daily. However, this varies based on activity level and the specific brand's calorie density, so always check the package guidelines.

It depends on the product.

• If it contains bone: No. Many raw patties contain ground bone. Cooking makes bone brittle and dangerous for dogs to ingest.

• If it is pure muscle meat: Yes, you can lightly cook it if your dog prefers warm food or has a sensitive tummy.

• Note: Most pre-made raw diets are designed to be eaten raw to preserve heat-sensitive vitamins.

Fresh dog food is usually found in the fridge section (like rolls) and has a shorter shelf life once opened (typically 2-3 days). Frozen raw dog food allows you to stock up; you simply defrost the daily portion in the fridge overnight before serving.
