Healthy, adult dogs should be fed approximately 2-3 % of their ideal body weight per day. Puppies under 12 months should be fed approximately at least 5 % of their current body weight per day. This is an approximate guideline. Adjust accordingly to maintain a healthy body weight or consult your veterinarian or pet nutritionist.

Please adjust the amount of food intake according to the stage of your female’s gestation and during the lactating period. We recommend avoiding Kangaroo raw food during pregnancy, due to its low fat content.
-
Yes, however it is recommended to avoid Kangaroo during the growing stage since Kangaroo meat is too lean for puppies.
-
Yes, you can.
Since RAW 4 PAWS only contains one animal protein per variety, i.e. chicken only contains chicken meat, bone and organs meats, it is easy to single out and avoid the protein/meat your pet is reacting to.
Simply change to other varieties of the RAW 4 PAWS range your pet can tolerate and alternate those. That way you still can feed your dog this healthy diet and offer variety.
-
All RAW 4 PAWS products only contain fresh Australian, human grade ingredients. This means the meat cuts used have been tested and have been graded human grade quality.
All vegetables and fruit used are fresh, Australian grown, fit for human consumption, quality produce and are delivered directly from Brisbane Markets for each production day. The meat and all other ingredients, which are organic wherever possible, are minced and mixed by RAW 4 PAWS at our Safe Food QLD-accredited premises to ensure the high quality of the products.
NO pre-minced meats or any meat meals are used.
All ingredients are processed as quickly as possible at a very low temperature and are then snap frozen below -18 C in suitable freezer grade packaging. This means low bacteria growth to begin with. Ready products are stored at below -18 C, as required by Safe Food, and transported to stockists in a Safe Food-accredited refrigerated vehicle and suitable cold transport boxes.
-
Yes, it is completely safe.
This oil which we use in our recipes is 100% Australian grown and processed Hemp Seed Oil and does not have any psychoactive properties, is free of CBD and/or THC as it is made from only the seeds and not from any other parts of the plant.
-
The material we chose for our packaging was carefully selected after much testing. The material is a mono plastic material which means it can be completely and easily recycled and made into new containers, bottles etc. if the used containers are put into the recycle bin.
Yes, our containers are plastic, but they are tested and proven to be food safe, safe for the freezer, they keep the meat fresh and can be recycled. You can rinse or wash them out, stack them and put them into the household recycle bin without guilt. And, as many have done, the containers can also be used at home for storage (of dog treats, for example) or as plant/seedling pot.
