However, if you wish to add raw in increasing amounts, while decreasing the old food over 3-5 days, that is fine too. There are no hard and fast rules here, so do what you feel is right for your dog and his or her needs. The most important thing is that you have chosen to make the switch, and whether you do right away or over a few days, you will be doing the best thing you could do for your doggo!
Please read our Switch to Raw guide for detailed information on how to switch.
A balanced and nutritious raw diet must include variety. You should be aiming to feed at least 5-6 different species ie lamb, beef, duck, chicken, pork, venison, turkey, fish, kangaroo etc over a 2-month period.
When feeding raw, variety is essential. Dogs will gain different levels of nutrients from different animals so the more variety the better.
To ensure your dog is getting everything they need, we recommend choosing a variety from our Classic Range of 80-10-10 complete meals, and our Paleo Plus complete meals.
Classic mini pouches are very convenient and ideal for small breeds, holidays, day trips etc.
If your dog has allergies or intolerances, just make sure the products you buy do not contain what they cannot have.
No. We do not recommend refreezing the food once it has fully defrosted. Once fully defrosted, it will last in the fridge for 3 days.
Due to the biodegradable and compostable packaging keeping our products very well insulated, it can take around 48 hours to defrost a pack in the fridge.
We advise only using raw manufacturers that can prove they have high standards. This will ensure the raw food you buy has been sourced, handled, prepared and stored correctly and is safe to feed. Call and question companies before you purchase. Find a company you can trust and check independent feedback like Google and Feefo.
Paleo Ridge is currently the most accredited UK manufacturer in our industry. We have sought and gained, independent globally recognised accreditation:
Independent unannounced audits are mandatory for these extra accreditations. This ensures we meet their very high standards, every single day. The standards laid down by DEFRA are very basic compared to our other accreditations.
Please see our hygiene instructions on how to safely handle and store raw food in the home.

If your dog is currently suffering with a health condition, switching to a natural, unprocessed diet can see symptoms lessen and become easily manageable. Some conditions can even disappear altogether!
Allergies and intolerances in dogs and humans have soared since the introduction of processed foods. Cheap grains are mass produced with the use of pesticides and harmful chemicals.
It’s no coincidence that in both humans and dogs, an explosion in cancer, along with other diseases has appeared since the introduction of processed food over 80 years ago.
Feeding dogs as though they were omnivores strains the pancreas as it must work harder as the body tries to deal with indigestible carbohydrate-filled food.
Our complete meals contain 10% bone, the perfect amount for a healthy diet. Bone is one of the most essential parts of their diet, this provides healthy doses of calcium and phosphorous whilst keeping their teeth free of plaque and tartar.
Studies have shown that dogs who have switched to a raw diet, have almost instantly changed their form to become more focused in training and more relaxed after mealtimes.
