Fill your freezer for under £25

Raw feeding is often perceived as an expensive option, but is that really the case? While premium raw dog foods can be pricey, there are cost-effective ways to integrate raw feeding into your dog's diet without emptying your wallet. Raw feeding involves giving your pooch uncooked meats, bones, and organs, closely mimicking their natural diet. This approach provides ample nutrients and can actually save you money in the long run. By focusing on cost-effective brands or bulk buying if you have the space to store it, you can make raw feeding accessible and affordable.  

Feeding your four legged family member can come with significant costs. According to the Battersea guide, the annual cost of caring for your pooch, including food, can range from £1,000 to £1,500. The expenses can add up quickly, especially with a dry diet and tinned foods. By choosing raw feeding, you may actually be able to significantly reduce these costs while ensuring your pampered pet receives the best possible nutrition.

By choosing raw feeding, you may actually be able to significantly reduce these costs while ensuring your pampered pet receives the best possible nutrition. 

Raw feeding may have an initial cost, but its long-term benefits can result in significant savings. Raw food is packed with nutrients, meaning your dog needs less food to feel full and stay healthy. Unlike a dry biscuit diet that is often bulked up with fillers, raw feeding delivers concentrated nutrition directly from whole meats, bones, and organs. This nutritional efficiency means smaller portions are required to meet your pup’s dietary needs, leading to fewer purchases and overall savings. Quality outweighs quantity in raw feeding, ensuring the best health without breaking the bank. 

One of the advantages of raw dog food is its high digestibility, resulting in less waste compared to commercial dog foods. Since raw food is packed with essential nutrients, your fur baby’s body can absorb more, leaving less undigested material. This leads to smaller, firmer stools and a cleaner garden! A well-balanced raw diet can stave off common health issues such as obesity, allergies, and digestive problems, potentially reducing costly vet visits. By providing nutrient-dense raw food, you ensure your pooch’s health and longevity while saving money on medical expenses in the future. 

A cheaper diet doesn’t always mean savings in the long run. Once opened, a bag of dry dog food should be consumed in six weeks and wet food will usually only last a couple of days in the fridge before it starts to spoil and lose its nutritional value. Raw dog food remains fresh in the freezer for months at a time so if you’re likely to waste any food, raw might be an ideal way to save throwing money into the food waste!  

It might seem impossible, but with strategic choices, you can stock up on quality dog food without breaking the bank. Let's explore some options that will have your freezer full and fit within the £25 budget.
