Raw Dog Food in Adelaide

Offal is a vital part of any biologically appropriate raw diet. It delivers essential nutrients that aren’t available in muscle meat alone. Organ meats such as liver, kidney and spleen are rich in B-vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fat-soluble vitamins — all needed to support immunity, energy, skin health and a well-functioning digestive system.

These nutrients help your dog’s body act, heal and grow the same way they would in the wild.

Our meals are designed to be a naturally complete diet. You don’t need to add supplements, fillers or cooked food. The mix of raw meat, bone, vegetables, fruit and offal gives your dog everything they need for daily health.

Our meals follow consistent, evidence-based ratios to create an appropriate raw food diet:

Standard Adult & Puppy

• 70% meat
• 30% fruit and vegetables

Muscle / Bone / Offal ratios

• 80% muscle meat
• 10% bone
• 10% offal

Baby Puppy

• 80% meat
• 20% fruit and vegetables

Low purine formulas

• Turkey & Salmon: 90% muscle meat, 10% bone
• Beef: 85% muscle meat, 5% green tripe, 10% bone

Cat formulas

• Specialised high-meat ratios that suit a feline raw food diet

These ratios help maintain a balanced diet that supports digestion, energy, joint health and long-term wellbeing.

Somerford Raw is formulated to be served raw for maximum nutrition.
You can lightly cook it if preferred—just warm it for a few minutes until the colour changes. As your dog adjusts to their new diet, reduce cooking time. Remember, heating can remove up to 60% of nutrients, so raw feeding offers the greatest benefits.

Yes. Many dogs with allergies respond well to a biologically appropriate raw diet because it removes the fillers, grains and preservatives commonly found in generic dog food options.

We often recommend starting with single-protein varieties such as salmon or barramundi. If your dog has strong reactions, run a six-week elimination trial using one Somerford Raw & Natural variety to identify the protein causing issues.

Yes — as long as it’s done with standard food-safe handling. Defrost in the fridge, portion while still cold, and refreeze immediately. This keeps the fresh dog food safe without damaging nutrients.

Start slowly. Mix a small amount of our raw fresh meals with your dog’s current food, then increase the raw portion over 7–10 days. This gives the dog's digestive system time to adjust and reduces the chance of soft stools.

Our puppy, baby puppy and adult dog formulas are tailored for each stage of life. Puppies can begin on Somerford Raw & Natural from the moment they’re weaned.

Not when introduced properly. A raw diet is easier for dogs to digest because it matches their natural biology. Their digestive system is short and acidic — ideal for breaking down meat, offal, bone and prey-based ingredients.

Yes. The high meat content, natural cartilage, bone minerals and anti-inflammatory omega fats support joint health, mobility and long-term energy.

Absolutely. Most dogs love the smell and texture of fresh, raw meat-based meals — it’s instinctive and aligns with the way they’re built to eat.

We craft our own meals, offer real-world experience, and provide expert advice backed by holistic vets, trainers and behaviourists. Our team focuses on raw diets, whole ingredients and the welfare of every pet we help.

Each dog is different. Beef offers strong flavour and iron, chicken is gentle on digestion, salmon supports skin and coat health, and kangaroo is lean and ideal for dogs needing lower fat. If your dog has allergies, start with a single protein.

Never. Our blends are made from raw meat, bone, vegetables, fruit and natural supplements. No fillers, preservatives or additives — just real food.
