Three Bird Feast 80/10/10

Yes! Puppies can absolutely be on a raw diet.

We recommend that your puppy’s daily food allowance is spread across 3 or 4 meals a day, reducing to 2 meals a day once they reach around 25 weeks of age.

Yes, we recommend that you add healthy extras to your dog’s food to make up for their daily nutritional needs. Click here for further guidance on what delicious foods you can add to your dog’s bowl.

Frozen food must be kept in the freezer, and defrosted the night before you intend to feed this to your dog. Once defrosted, this food can not be refrozen and can be stored in the coldest part of your fridge for up to 3 days. Please do not feed your dog this food after this time.

Please do not leave this food out for your dog. We recommend a 15 minute feeding window, and if they do not eat the food within this time then we advise you to wrap it up and keep it refrigerated until their next meal.

Dried natural treats must be stored in a cool, dry place.

There are several reasons as to why your dog has become a fussy eater. This could be due to overfeeding, a health condition or potentially a very common mistake that a lot of dog owners make…

To try and rule out overfeeding, check out our calculator (insert link) to check your dog’s daily recommended food allowance. This is a common reason as to why dogs may be going off their dinner.

Often, when our dog’s turn their nose up at their food, we are quick to panic about them missing their meals and switch to an alternative that we think they will prefer. The worry of our dog not eating for 2 days is more damaging than the harm this will cause to them. By regularly switching what we feed our dogs, this can create fussy eating habits.

Another common mistake when dealing with a fussy dog, is leaving out a bowl of food (generally dry kibble) during the day, allowing your dog to pick and choose when they eat, creating a “grazer”. This devalues their dinner times, and therefore they are more likely to not eat their main meals.

We recommend introducing a 15-minute feeding window and breakfast and dinner time, if they don’t eat their food within this time then wrap it up and pop it in the fridge until their next feed. For most dogs, this should help introduce a stricter routine and will help develop good eating habits going forward.

If you think that your dogs fussiness could be due to a health condition, then please seek veterinary advice.

Fruit and vegetables should be given to your dog in small amounts and should be included as part of their daily food allowance. There are several foods that can be toxic to dogs, please research if you are unsure before feeding. Click here to find out some great additions to your dogs raw food (LINK)
