General Feeding Instructions:

​

Please note that this is a general guide and you will need to take into consideration your pet’s activity level, age, health and breed and adjust accordingly.  Once your pet has transitioned 100% to raw food, additional adjustments may be made based on visual observations of your pet’s weight loss or gain and modify quantities accordingly.

When feeding a raw food diet, the amount of increased digestibility of the ingredients, you will be able to feed your pet less food daily.  Ensure your pet has access to plenty of fresh water at all times.  You will also note a significant change in your pet’s waste.   The stool during the transition phase will appear loose but should never be runny.  You may also notice a mucous layer which is normal as well.  Once the body has become acclimated to the diet change, the stool will become hard, compact and the overall size and frequency reduced significantly.  Another benefit is the stool will be relatively odorless for both cats and dogs. 

You should begin by feeding 2 -3 % of your pet’s body weight daily, and should be split into two meals, morning and evening.  The daily food intake level should be measured in ounces to ensure the most precise method of feeding raw food.   You can also incorporate Raw Meaty bones into your pet’s diet, but never feed cooked bones to your pets. For puppies and kittens, double the amount of an adult sized animal.

Raw Food Handling:​

​

•  Keep all food frozen until ready to thaw and feed
•  Thaw food in the refrigerator the day before you will use to feed
•  Quick thaw should be done in cold water in the sink, never cook or microwave to thaw out as all of our recipes contain ground bone.
• Feed in a stainless steel bowl or glass bowl and wash thoroughly afterward with hot soapy water. Raw food will maintain its quality and freshness for up to 3 days in the refrigerator
• Food is not for human consumption.  All meat and ingredients are 100% human grade /USDA and FDA approved and Certified Organic.  All Soul’y Raw Pet Food contains actual ground bone which should not be ingested by humans under any circumstances.
• Practice safe handling of raw meat on all surfaces and utensils used for serving and feeding.  Wash all surfaces, bowls, utensils and hands thoroughly in hot, soapy water when finished  and  be sure to use the same care when cleaning up pet’s waste.
