The Raw Feeding Reset - Smarter, Simpler Nutrition for 2026
A new year is the perfect time to reset our routines - and that includes how we feed our dogs. Raw feeding doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. In fact, a few simple habits can make a big difference to your dog’s health, digestion, behaviour, and overall wellbeing.
Here are five easy raw-feeding habits to help your dog thrive naturally in 2026.
1. Keep a Consistent Feeding Routine
Dogs love predictability - and their digestive systems do too.
Feeding your dog around the same time each day helps:
- regulate digestion
- stabilise energy levels
- support calmer behaviour
- reduce begging or scavenging
It’s a simple shift with big benefits, especially after the busy holiday period.
2. Rotate Proteins (Without the Pressure)
Variety doesn’t need to be complicated. You don’t have to rotate ten proteins a week - just mix it up over time.
Protein rotation helps:
- support skin & coat health
- improve nutrient diversity
- reduce the chance of developing sensitivities
- keep picky eaters excited for mealtime
Affordable staples like beef, chicken, lamb, venison, and fish offer excellent nutrition without a premium price tag.
3. Balance Bones & Organs for Whole-Body Health
Two of the most powerful components of raw feeding:
- bones → dental health, mental enrichment, calcium
- organs → vitamins, minerals, essential nutrients
You don’t need expensive supplements when nature provides the good stuff.
Aim for a natural balance over time - not perfection in every bowl.
4. Store Your Raw the Right Way
Proper storage helps keep raw food fresh, safe, and cost-effective (less waste = lower feeding costs).
Our favourite summer-safe habits:
- thaw meals in the fridge, never on the bench
- refrigerate open rolls immediately
- use a Roll Mate container to keep rolls sealed and tidy
- portion meals ahead to make mornings easier
- freeze extras before they spoil
Small habits = big savings.
5. Plan Ahead With Weekly or Bulk Prep
A little prep goes a long way. Planning raw meals for the week (or stocking up with bulk boxes) helps you:
- stay consistent
- reduce last-minute stress
- keep raw feeding affordable
- avoid running out during busy periods
- portion meals more accurately
Bulk boxes are especially great value and make it easy to rotate proteins throughout the month.
A Happy, Healthy 2026 Starts Here
Raw feeding isn’t about being perfect - it’s about simple, natural habits that support long-term health.
With consistency, smart storage, balanced nutrition, and a bit of planning, your dog can enjoy a year of better digestion, shiny coats, calmer behaviour, and steady energy.
Small changes. Big impact. A healthier 2026 starts with what’s in their bowl.
