Complete & Balanced Raw Dog Food from Rawgeous Pet Food

We'd like to think of ourselves as a different raw dog food company. In our mission to become the best raw pet food brand, we need to make sure the basics are always done right. That means all our food is:

Traceable - every box of Rawgeous is batch coded giving full traceability from the farm to the bowl. You will see this on the label on the bottom right side.

Tested - every 200kg batch is independently tested and approved by ALT laboratories for Salmonella and other nasties prior to it being released for sale.

Trusted - we use an independent HACCP consultant who works closely with the Department of Agriculture to ensure best practices guaranteeing your meat, vegetables, seaweed and oils come from Ireland's best food suppliers.

All our meals have been nutritionally balanced by Lawrence Deeley, The Pet Nutritionist, and we're proud to say they are beyond FEDIAF guidelines. They have the very best complete and balanced ingredients guaranteeing that a pet or working dog can get all the nourishment they need with zero additives or fillers.

Transitioning to a raw feed should be relatively easy. 100% straight swaps, 50-50 swaps, and gradually increasing swaps are all potential options.

All of our recipes are cookable, so can be partially cooked or flash fried for a pet or working dog not used to fully raw feeds.

Yes! Although we lean towards raw, we know that transitioning can take some time. Rawgeous is perfectly safe to cook and here we suggest 2 methods:

1. Flash fry for a few seconds in a frying pan then slightly cool before serving

2. Bring to a simmer in some water. This creates a gravy which the dog loves to lap up

We suggest transitioning over approximately a week while gradually reducing the amount of cooked food you are giving your pet or working dog.

All of our meals are packed in 500g or 1kg boxes. These boxes are insulated using woolcool liners and placed in an outer box, all of which is biodegradable. 

Yes, we do!

Single proteins are a form of fresh food which hasn't been blended with any other proteins at all. Currently, we offer turkey, Atlantic salmon, duck and chicken.

Absolutely! Rawgeous is suitable for puppies, and is giving them the very best start in life. For example, our Three Bird Puppy Mix is finely ground for the pups who are weaning. Once your puppy is either 12 weeks old or weighs 5kg, we suggest they can transition to our adult recipes.

In our bid to be one of the easiest to use dog food subscription services, we have been very careful when it comes to packaging.

All our raw dog food is wrapped and packaged in Wool Cool 48. This means it will keep chilled for up to 48 hours, which allows us to deliver to 2-day delivery areas. 

While we do everything possible to ensure that your food arrives still frozen, occasionally, it may have started to defrost by the time it reaches you. Provided the boxes are still cold to the touch, at 6°C or below, you can safely refreeze and use them as normal. When you find us under the term 'Raw Food Ireland' we really do source our meats locally, so bare with us on the voage to your door step!

All our packaging is biodegradable, so don’t worry if they are a little damp or wet, that's normal. Just pop them back into the freezer until you require them.

Rawgeous is delivered frozen to your door and should be kept in the freezer at all time, until you are ready to defrost a pack.

As a guide a 4kg box will fit into a standard freezer drawer.

Our packs are available in either 500g or 1kg packs. Smaller packs are better for smaller dogs and 1kg packs are better for larger dogs or multiple dogs.

The B.A.R.F diet stands for two common phrases: ‘Biologically Appropriate Raw Food’ and ‘Bones and Raw Food’. Founded by veterinarian and nutritionist Dr. Ian Billinghurst, the principle is to feed dogs the diet they evolved to eat—a raw diet composed of meats and greens that are fresh, uncooked and wild.

As all dogs share a common ancestor in the Grey Wolf, this diet is appropriate for all breeds. The raw diet is high in protein, moderate in fat, has minimal amounts of carbohydrates and consists of:

- Muscle meat
- Raw meaty bones
- Organ meat
- Vegetables and fruits
- Supplements

If you're after 'cheap raw dog food' then this is not it! We only use premium grade meats and other ingredients which are fit for human consumption.

Here are a few tips and techniques to help with the fussy dog:

1. Place the food down for 10-15 minutes, if your dog walks away then remove the food after the time and put it away. The dog needs to know that they will not get any food or treats until the next feeding time

2. Do not feed treats between meals until your dog is finishing its meal

3. Flash fry or simmer the food. This creates a gravy and enhances flavour

4. Use enrichment toys to make feeding fun! We recommend snuffle matts or a Kong

5. Weigh each portion of food to ensure that meal sizes are consistent, and appropriate for how big your pet or working dog is

6. Dogs can sense their owner’s mood, so feed with confidence. Try to give your dog space as it eats, and avoid crowding it

Many owners use raw feeding as an opportunity to allergy test, and owners often strip the raw food diet back to single proteins first to try and eliminate any food groups potentially upsetting their pet's stomach. This is a similar approach to the NHS recommended "FODMAP" plan for humans.

Raw dog food can contain bacteria, so it should always be handled carefully and with proper hygience precautions. As with any raw meat, thorough hand and surface washing is recommended after any preparation.
