High-Calorie Raw Dog Food Ingredients and Recipes Needed

rawmixriley

I’ve been looking into switching my dog to a raw food diet, and I came across the idea of including high calorie options to ensure they get enough energy, especially on active days. Since I’m pretty new to this, does anyone have suggestions for high calorie raw dog food recipes or ingredients that work well? I’m wondering if there are any specific fats, meats, or other components I should consider to boost the calorie content in a balanced way without overdoing it. Any tips or experiences are really appreciated!

If you’re looking to boost calories without turning your pup’s bowl into a fatty mess, think about adding quality fats like salmon oil or grass-fed beef tallow. They’re a great way to get that extra oomph of energy—imagine it as your dog’s pre-workout shake. Just keep an eye on the portions because even superheroes can be overdone. Also, lean meats and a little bit of organ meat can help round out the meal with essential nutrients. Just like any good recipe, balance is key so your furry friend doesn’t end up starring in a ‘before and after’ commercial.

I recently added a tiny bit of coconut oil to my evening mix, and my active dog seems to love the energy boost without any upset stomach. It’s really about starting slow and tweaking portions gradually—checking with your vet is always a good call when adjusting fat levels.
