Welcome to to the world of Raw Feeding; particularly as a client of Pawsome Raw. At Pawsome Raw our aim is to reinvent how dog and cat owners think about, approach and meet their pets’ nutrition requirements; especially how to improve the probability for pets extension of life and of course happier and healthier lives through nutrition. We hope to inspire you to become a part of our journey and experience our guidance and education as it touches all of our happy and healthy “fur-kids”. Our combination of the very best nutrition and easy to use meal plans have our clients’ dogs and cats absolute best at heart. Pawsome Raw’s mission is to be more than a pet food company; rather an ethical, social, environmentally conscience and best practices based movement in the raw pet food industry – always with love and PASSION. Our “dream come true” is the conversion of all pets to RAW fed “fur-kids”, at an affordable price with a guarantee of the very best quality... in short the very best value for money! If this your first time feeding raw, then this may seem quite daunting, but don’t feel intimidated, it is just a rhythm you need to get used to. Your fur-kid will be for ever grateful for making the switch...and we are here to help every step of the way. Our Complete Minced meals are in fact just what they say and daily contain all the nutrients required by your pet. When you look at our Meal Plan you will see we have interspersed the Complete Minced meals with various “bony meals” like heads, necks, kneecaps etc, which is fantastic stimulation for dogs, together with other health benefits - chewing bones (the correct ones) releases endorphins in dogs, which in turn relaxes them, as well as cleans their teeth - surely you'll agree this is a great bonus. Never ever feed your dogs any weight bearing bones from a butcher or any cooked bones. Dogs were not meant to digest these and their digestive system cannot cope. Our top grade premium quality nutrition is manufactured with passion, love and dedication by Retha and her team and is tested by our ever-so-critical-beagle-connoisseurs (10 of them... yes we have 10 of them and do not forget about Havoc the wanna-beagle) to ensure only the best - your dogs would be eating exactly the same food as our 11. Once it has passed the taste test, it is sent for microbiological tests for a complete nutritional analysis to make sure it adheres to our premium quality and high standards. Welcome and enjoy... and remember advice is only a click away.

It might not be the most glamorous part of dog parenting, but your dog’s poo can tell you quite a lot about what’s happening in their digestive system.

So this week we’re opening THE POO FILES. 💩🔎

We’ll be talking about:
💩 Consistency
💩 Frequency
💩 Colour
💩 Changes from your dog’s normal pattern
💩 And why one strange poo doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong

The important word here is normal.
Every dog is slightly different and knowing what is normal for YOUR dog makes it much easier to notice when something changes.

Yes. This week we officially give you permission to inspect the evidence. 😂

Our easy weekend cool-down idea:

🧊 Grab a frozen bone broth cube
🥣 Pop it into your dog's bowl or meal
🐾 Allow dog to investigate
😋 Watch it disappear

Or take it outside and let them enjoy it somewhere you don't mind a little licking, nudging and general doggy enthusiasm. 😂

Simple enrichment + a little extra moisture = a pretty good Saturday.

Fresh drinking water still stays available at all times. 💦

Hydration isn't only about the water bowl. 💦

When we think about keeping our dogs hydrated, we usually think: How much water are they drinking?

But dogs can also get water from their food.

Foods with a naturally high moisture content contribute to a dog's overall daily water intake, alongside the water they drink. That becomes particularly interesting as we head into warmer weather, especially if you have a dog who isn't terribly enthusiastic about visiting the water bowl.

You can also add extra moisture by:
💦 Adding water to meals
🦴 Using a dog-friendly bone broth
🧊 Offering frozen broth or plain kefir cubes as an occasional treat

But there is one rule we don't bend:
Nothing replaces fresh water. Your dog should always have unrestricted access to clean, fresh drinking water, whatever is in their bowl. 🐾

Hydration Station 💦 First stop: the freezer!

Warmer days are here and this is possibly one of the easiest doggy summer treats you can make. No Really!! It's super easy.

🦴 FROZEN BONE BROTH CUBES

Simply:
1. Pour Pawsome Raw bone broth into an ice tray or silicone mould.
2. Freeze until solid.
3. Pop one out when your dog needs a cool little treat.

Serve one on its own, add it to a meal, or let it melt slowly over your dog's food.
Easy. Messy enough to be exciting. And a simple way to add some extra moisture to their day. 🐶💦

Important: Choose a broth suitable for dogs and avoid broths containing ingredients such as onion or garlic. Pick a Pawsome Raw Broth and you don't have to worry about suitability for dogs.

Frozen broth cubes are a treat/additional source of moisture.
Never a replacement for unrestricted access to fresh drinking water.

📌 Save this one for the hot days ahead.

PS. If you have cute silicone moulds drop them in the comments and tell us where you bought them. Thanks

☀️ WARMER DAYS ARE HERE AND THAT MATTERS AT DINNER TIME.

As temperatures climb, it's worth paying a little extra attention to how you handle your dog's raw food.

🐾 Keep frozen meals properly frozen until needed.
🐾 Defrost food safely rather than leaving it sitting out in the heat.
🐾 Wash bowls, utensils and preparation surfaces thoroughly after feeding.
🐾 Don't leave uneaten raw food sitting around.
🐾 Wash your hands after handling raw meat and food-contact items.

And don't forget the other bowl.
💧 Your dog should always have access to clean, fresh drinking water, especially as our South African days start getting warmer.

A few simple habits help keep fresh feeding fresh. 🌱🐾

🎙️ THEY'RE BACK TONIGHT!

The 2 Anties are officially back from their Summit break. 😆🐾

Retha & Antonette return LIVE with Pawz & People tonight at 8pm.
Grab a coffee, find a spot on the couch, assuming the dog hasn't claimed it and join them for another evening of pet talk and conversation.

Here's one little spring job worth adding to the list.

Empty your dog's freezer drawer, give it a proper clean and take stock of what you actually have.

✔️ Check packaging and dates
✔️ Move older meals forward to use first
✔️ Organise meals so they're easy to find
✔️ Clean up any spills
✔️ Make your restock list

It's not the most glamorous part of feeding fresh food, but a little freezer organisation makes everyday feeding much easier.

Although there is one unavoidable side effect… Opening the freezer may result in a dog appearing beside you within approximately 0.7 seconds. 😂🐾

A novel protein is simply a protein your individual dog has not eaten before.
That can make it useful in a carefully managed elimination diet because the dog is less likely to have been previously sensitised to that ingredient. But it doesn’t mean the protein is magically incapable of causing an allergic reaction.

Dogs can potentially develop an allergy to dietary proteins, including proteins that were once new to them.

That’s why the goal of a food trial isn’t: “Find the fanciest protein.”

It’s:

“Use an appropriate diet, control all other food exposure and observe the dog carefully.”

And if symptoms improve, a controlled food challenge is used to help confirm whether food was actually responsible.

Small terminology difference. Big difference in how we think about nutrition.

A novel protein isn’t automatically rabbit, venison, ostrich or some exotic ingredient with an impressive price tag. In the context of a veterinary elimination diet, a novel protein is one the individual dog has not previously eaten.

That means: Rabbit may be novel for one dog…
…but completely ordinary for another dog who has been eating rabbit treats for years.

Veterinary guidance specifically recommends selecting novel-protein diets carefully to avoid ingredients the dog has previously been exposed to.

And this is where things can get surprisingly tricky.

Previous exposure may come from:
🐾 regular food
🐾 treats
🐾 chews
🐾 table scraps
🐾 supplements
🐾 flavoured medications

So, when investigating a possible food allergy, “novel” is about the dog’s dietary history, not how unusual the meat sounds to us.

Novel to whom? That’s the question.
