Raw Feeding Q & A:

Q: How much should I feed my Adult dog?

A: Dogs should be fed 2-3% of their bodyweight daily. Ideally over two meals, some seniors who need weight gain do better with it spread over multiple meals. To gain weight, feed closer to 3%, to maintain weight, feed 2.5%, and to lose weight feed 2%. We reccomend monitoring body condition and feed according to the individual dog. 

Q: What does AAFCO complete mean?

A: Our Albright's products and Oma's pride products that state "AAFCO Complete" mean that they are formulated to be complete and balanced for all life stages. They do not need anything added to them, and can be fed as a complete diet. They are safe for all age dogs including puppies. 

Q: Do you offer consultations on which food might be best for my dog?

A: Yes! Email ruffpakorlando@gmail.com to set up a time to talk! 

Q: What are some ways people meal prep with your foods? 

A: My favorite way to meal prep is to slightly thaw the roll so that you can still cut it with a knife, and weigh out each individual meal and place in a ziplock bag. Then, i refreeze the individual bags so that the night before I want to feed a meal I can pull it out and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. I keep dog dishes with lids on hand, and cover whatever my dog doesnt finish and offer again at the next meal. We do not reccomend leaving thawed raw food in the fridge for more than 48 hours. We reccomend the same safe food handling practices you take with preparing raw meat for your family meals as with this. This includes sanitizing preparing surfaces, scales and other utensils. 

Q: How do you ensure pathogens are not in the food?

A: Albrights and Oma's pride use a variety of methods to ensure pathogens do not enter the food that goes in your dog's dish. This includes batch testing, macrophages and use of USDA inspected machinery.

Q: Is the food Human Grade? 

A: Yes, absolutely! All food comes from the human food supply chain, and is USDA inspected. We do not approve of 3D/4D meats, denaturing, or synthetic ingredients in any pet food. If we wouldn't serve it to our dogs, we won't offer it here. 

Q: I am new to raw feeding do you have any resources?

A: Yes! Aside from our local facebook group filled with very supportive and helpful members, I highly recommend the below books for learning more! In the mean time if you aren't ready to make a DIY raw meal, our AAFCO Complete meals offer the balance without the guessing while you learn more! Need more variety? The signature mixes can be paired with the O'Paws Fundamental Vitality dietary supplement for additional protein choices and complete nutrient profile.
