Raw feeding isn’t about extremes or perfection — it’s about choosing real food and making informed decisions for your dog.
At Bones & Roses, we believe dogs thrive on fresh, whole ingredients that support their bodies the way nature designed them to work.
A raw diet is made up of uncooked meats, bones and organs — the building blocks dogs are biologically built to digest.
Our approach to raw feeding is:
- Thoughtfully balanced
- Ingredient-driven
- Easy to understand
- Grounded in real-world experience
No fear tactics. No judgment. Just real food and honest guidance.
Many dog parents switch to raw because they want better than heavily processed food.
Common benefits people notice include:
- Improved digestion
- Healthier skin and shinier coats
- Better energy and stamina
- Lean muscle maintenance
- Smaller, firmer stools
Every dog is different — raw feeding is about progress, not perfection.
Yes — when done properly.
Dogs have short digestive tracts and highly acidic stomachs designed to process raw food. Safety comes down to quality ingredients, balanced recipes, and proper handling — all of which we take seriously.
If you’re cautious or brand new, that’s completely normal. We’re here to help you feel confident every step of the way.
Slow and steady works best.
A simple transition guide:
- Start by adding small amounts of raw alongside current food
- Gradually increase raw over 7–10 days
- Watch stools, energy levels, and appetite
- Adjust as needed — no two dogs are the same
Sensitive dog? Puppy? Senior? We can help you customize the transition.
Raw feeding doesn’t have to be complicated.
- Keep food frozen until ready to use
- Thaw in the refrigerator
- Serve fresh
- Store unused portions in the fridge for up to 2–3 days
- Clean bowls and surfaces after feeding
Or feed frozen and add a chew
Simple habits = safe feeding.
“Raw feeding causes aggression.”
Myth. Behavior comes from genetics, training, and environment — not diet.
“Raw food isn’t safe.”
Like any food, safety depends on proper handling and quality ingredients.
“Dogs need lots of supplements.”
A well-balanced raw diet often doesn’t require extras.
Raw feeding isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s okay.
Some dogs thrive immediately, some need adjustments, and some families prefer a hybrid approach. Our goal isn’t to convince — it’s to support informed, confident choices..
Whether you’re curious, cautious, or ready to dive in, we’re here to help.
