Frequently Asked Questions

All Your Questions, Answered

Why do you use offal?

A raw diet isn’t complete without offal. Compared to regular cuts of muscle meat, organ meats are more densely packed with just about every nutrient, including heavy doses of B vitamins such as B1, B2, B6, folic acid, and vitamin B12. Organ meats are also loaded with minerals like phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium, and iodine and provide the essential fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins and minerals are critical to the health and wellbeing of your pet.

Do I need to cook it?

The raw diet is designed to be eaten raw and fresh. Cooking destroys vitamins and changes the molecular structure of protein and fats. Domestic dogs and cats haven’t evolved to eat cooked food. The digestive tract of a domestic dog is no different from a wolf or a domestic cat to a wild cat.

My dog seems to have allergies/skin issues. Can I feed them this diet?

So many pet foods these days are loaded with grains, preservatives and artificial additives that can all adversely impact your pets overall health - causing allergies & skin issues. Here at Somerford Raw & Natural, we get a lot of feedback from pet owners whose pets have benefited hugely from being fed our salmon or barramundi varieties.

For allergies, it is essential to put your pet through an elimination diet for up to six weeks and only feed one variety of Somerford Raw & Natural Complete Pet Food. This way, you are able to identify which protein (meat) your pet may be allergic to.

Why fermented vegetables?

By fermenting the vegetables, it is much easier for your pet to break down and extract all the vitamins and minerals during the digestion process. Again, this imitates the wild dog diet, as a dog would consume the plant matter in the animal’s gut that it would catch and eat naturally in the wild.

Can I feed this to my puppy?

Our Complete adult varieties are designed for smaller dogs above the age of 12 months and larger breeds 18+ months. For puppies, Additional Calcium & Protein is added to the mix to support growth and nutrition. If you are after a raw food diet for your puppy you should check out our puppy range here.
