Raw Feeding Safety: Tips for Handling and Storing Raw Dog Food

As a proud raw feeder, you want to ensure your dog’s meals are as fresh and safe as possible. Handling and storing raw dog food properly is key to maximising its nutritional benefits while keeping your pup healthy. In this post, we’ll cover essential safety tips for raw feeding, plus the added benefits of purchasing from Raw Dogs Dorset. 

Why Raw Dogs Dorset Makes Safe Storage Easy 

One of the greatest advantages of buying from Raw Dogs Dorset is that all food is delivered frozen. This frozen state locks in the food’s freshness and makes it incredibly easy to store in your freezer upon delivery. With Raw Dogs Dorset’s frozen deliveries, you can be confident in maintaining quality from our facility to your dog’s bowl. 

Tips for Storing Raw Dog Food Safely 

  1. Freeze Until Use 
  1. Store your raw dog food in the freezer until you’re ready to portion it out. This will keep it fresh, prevent bacterial growth, and ensure it stays nutritionally optimal. Raw Dogs Dorset food is designed for easy freezer storage—perfect for both bulk buyers and occasional orders. 
  1. Defrost Properly 

When you’re ready to use your raw food, defrost it in the fridge rather than leaving it out on the counter. This ensures the food thaws at a safe, cool temperature. Plan your dog’s meals in advance, allowing 12-24 hours for a gentle defrost. 

  1. Keep It Clean 

After handling raw food, always wash your hands, utensils, and any surfaces the food has touched with hot, soapy water. This minimizes any risk of cross-contamination, keeping both your household and your dog’s meals safe. 

  1. Use Portions 

Portion out servings to avoid waste and control how much food you defrost at once. Raw Dogs Dorset’s products are packaged to make portioning easy, which is especially useful if you’re meal-prepping for the week or for multiple dogs. 

  1. Check Expiration Dates 

Even though freezing raw dog food extends its shelf life, it’s important to check the expiration date on each package. By keeping track, you can ensure you’re serving the freshest meals.
