How to Choose the Right Raw Food for Your Pet

Raw feeding can suit different pets in different ways. Some owners prefer frozen BARF patties for full raw meals, while others choose freeze-dried or air-dried raw-style foods for easier storage and travel. If your dog or cat has a sensitive stomach, a single-protein recipe may be a better place to start.

Raw Food Type	Best For	Why Choose It
Frozen BARF Patties	Daily raw feeding	Portioned, convenient and often formulated as complete meals.
Single-Protein Raw Meals	Sensitive dogs and cats	Useful when avoiding common proteins or simplifying the diet.
Freeze-Dried Raw Food	Easy storage or toppers	Raw-style nutrition without needing freezer space.
Raw Meaty Bones & Treats	Enrichment and variety	Can support chewing behaviour when fed safely and appropriately.

Raw Dog Food vs Raw Cat Food: What’s the Difference?

Dogs and cats have different nutritional needs, so it is important to choose a recipe made for the right species. Dogs can often tolerate more variety in ingredients, while cats are obligate carnivores and usually need higher meat-based nutrition with careful mineral balance.

For cats, look for feline-specific raw meals with appropriate meat, organ and bone ratios. For dogs, BARF-style recipes may include meat, bone, offal and selected wholefood ingredients depending on the brand formula.

Raw Feeding for Sensitive Pets

Some pet owners choose raw or fresh frozen meals because they want a simpler ingredient list. If your dog or cat reacts poorly to certain proteins, start with a single-protein recipe and introduce new foods gradually. Popular choices may include kangaroo, turkey, chicken, beef or lamb depending on your pet’s tolerance.

If your pet has a diagnosed medical condition, allergies, pancreatitis, kidney disease or ongoing digestive problems, speak with your vet before changing to a raw diet.

Raw Dog & Cat Food FAQs

Is raw feeding better than kibble?

Raw feeding and kibble suit different pets and lifestyles. Raw meals are less processed and often use fresh meat, organs and bone, while kibble is easier to store and serve. The better choice depends on your pet’s health, your budget, storage space and how comfortable you are handling frozen food.

Can cats eat the same raw food as dogs?

Not always. Cats have different nutritional needs from dogs and should be fed feline-appropriate raw meals whenever possible. Cat recipes usually focus more strongly on meat-based nutrition and mineral balance.

What is the easiest raw food to start with?

Frozen patties are often the easiest option because they are portioned and simple to thaw. For sensitive pets, a single-protein recipe can make the transition easier and help you monitor how your pet responds.

Yes. ADS Pet Store offers refrigerated delivery for eligible raw dog and cat food orders across selected Melbourne and Victorian areas. Click & Collect is also available from our Moorabbin warehouse.

How should I store raw pet food?

Keep raw meals frozen until needed, thaw them in the fridge, and follow the brand’s feeding and storage instructions. Once thawed, raw food should be handled like fresh meat and served within the recommended timeframe.

Can puppies and kittens eat raw food?

Some puppies and kittens can eat raw food if the recipe is complete, balanced and suitable for growth. Always choose life-stage appropriate formulas and introduce new foods gradually.
