Feeding FAQ
Common questions about raw feeding — answered plainly.
How do I transition my dog to raw food?
Transition your dog to Chef's Pure Pet raw food gradually over 9–10 days to avoid digestive upset. Start with 75% of their current food and 25% raw for the first 3 days. In days 4–6, feed equal amounts — 50% old food and 50% raw. In days 7–9, shift to 25% old food and 75% raw. By day 10, your dog can eat 100% raw. This gradual approach gives your dog's gut bacteria time to adjust. If you notice loose stool or stomach upset at any stage, simply slow the transition and stay at that ratio for a few extra days before moving forward.
How much raw food should I feed my dog per day?
The right daily amount depends on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. As a general guideline, most adult dogs need roughly 2–3% of their body weight in raw food per day. Active dogs or working breeds may need closer to 3%, while less active or senior dogs do well at 2% or below. Puppies generally eat more per pound of body weight — around 5–10% — because they are still growing. Use the Chef's Pure Pet feeding calculator above to get a personalized recommendation in ounces, slider equivalents, and patty quantities based on your dog's specific profile.
Can cats eat Chef's Pure Pet raw food?
Yes. Chef's Pure Pet raw food is formulated for both dogs and cats. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they require a diet made almost entirely of animal protein to thrive. A raw food diet closely mirrors what cats would eat in the wild, providing the high moisture content and protein density their bodies are built for. The feeding calculator on this page includes a cat option — select cat, then enter your cat's age category and weight to receive a recommended daily portion. Transition cats to raw food gradually over 9–10 days, just as you would with a dog, to minimize digestive sensitivity.
Is Chef's Pure Pet raw food safe?
Yes. Chef's Pure Pet products are made in a USDA-certified facility in Mendota, California, and every batch is tested before shipment. The facility follows strict food safety protocols: no inedible products are permitted on site, all raw ingredients are sourced from local California farmers, and no antibiotics, added hormones, grains, corn, or soy are used. For customers who prefer not to serve food raw, all products can be safely cooked — beef should reach an internal temperature of 145°F and chicken 165°F. Gently cooked items are prepared sous vide to 165°F for full lethality before packaging.
How do I serve Chef's Pure Pet raw food?
Chef's Pure Pet products can be served four ways. Bag to bowl: serve fully raw, no preparation needed. Microwave: heat sliders for approximately 20 seconds or patties for approximately 35 seconds. Refrigerator thaw: move the portion from the freezer to the fridge the night before and serve the next day. Stovetop: cook in a pan until beef reaches an internal temperature of 145°F or chicken reaches 165°F. All four methods are safe and nutritionally complete — choose whichever fits your schedule and your pet's preference.
