Handling this food is just like handling a chicken breast or prime rib. Use the same precautions you would take when handling raw meat for your own consumption. Wash hands, clean surfaces, near-boiling water for cleaning and proper washing and drying.

After a few days on a raw food diet, some dogs will appear to lose their appetites. This is perfectly normal. For the first time in your dog’s life, your dog is no longer hungry because it’s actually satisfied and getting all the nutrients it needs. You will soon figure out how much food your dog actually needs.

Since Kibble contains no moisture and is filled with additives your dog needs to constantly drink water to maintain proper hydration. Raw Food contains the right amount of moisture needed for digestion resulting in your dog drink less water.

The food is conveniently portioned into ¼ Ib blocks. Suggested amount is one block for every 10 Ibs of your dog’s weight. So if your dog weighs 30 Ibs – daily amount would be 3 blocks.  Amount may vary depending on breed, age and activity level. We recommend feeding double the amount to puppies. Puppies require 5-10% of their weight where as adults require 2-3%.  If you need help determining the amount reach out to our dietary consultant at hello@outpostdogfood.com

Your dog’s ancestors have a long history of eating frozen meats and bones. Your dog is actually adapted by long evolution to use frozen food as a normal part of its diet. You can serve frozen or you can thaw your dog’s daily amount the night before in the fridge – Whatever you and your dog prefer. We do suggest thawed for puppies. *Do not heat up the food as it will destroy many of the nutrients your dog needs.

Small amounts of raw, unprocessed garlic is actually really good for dogs. It only becomes toxic when excessive amounts have been feed to a dog, as in the study where dogs were fed 5 grams of garlic per kilo per day. That would mean a 75 Ib dog would be given 60 cloves of garlic daily. For reference, a St. Bernard (weighing 100+ pounds) shouldn’t consume more than 3 cloves of garlic per day so the 60 cloves fed in the study is extremely dangerous. 

We use a very small amount of garlic in our recipe so that it is suitable for dogs of all sizes.

It sure is! A raw food diet usually produce small, firm, and light balls of poop that are easily passed. Your dog will produce less stool because the food is so pure and it’s being used for energy.
Some dogs will occasionally strain slightly when passing the harder stools. This is okay and even beneficial, as the harder stools help your dog express his anal glands; reducing the likelihood of infection.
