- Preparing raw dog food for large dogs can be intimidating, but with this EASY step-by-step method, you can begin confidently raw feeding dogs in bulk and under budget!
While I have a great deal of raw feeding content on Big Dog Mom, I have often stopped short of giving you a step-by-step process for raw dog food meal preparation or a method for putting together a raw diet for your large dog.
So many of you have requested a HOW TO RAW FEED large dogs video, so here it is! This video is not a raw dog food recipe intended for you to follow, but rather one raw meal prep method that works for me and my two Mastiffs.
Be sure to read the full blog post that goes along with this video as I go into much more detail on BigDogMom.com! 👇🏻

i am so glad you have created this video. i operate my own pet sitting services business. i have been in pet nutrition since 2003. I have spent a lot of time talking to pet parents and how they can feed their pets the best.
Stephanie, you rock! So much good and detailed information and step by step instructions. You take a lot of the guess work out. Thanks so much for posting!!
Aww, thank you so much!!! This one was definitely a labor of love for sure. 😊
Thank you so much. Your website with the co-op links is so helpful . You’re awesome . God bless
I recognize Wolverine packaging - I just picked up my coop order and am starting raw feed for my big 3 pups here in Ohio
You Rock!! Thank you for this so so so so much!! We are getting our puppy in just a couple weeks and I really want to start her on a raw diet! This is so helpful!
Hi! I am feeding a bull mastiff puppy as well.. but I do know the requirements are different than adults (which she talks about in this video) just wanted to point this out in case you didn't know ! I would also love to know how it is going! It's been fun and a challenge for myself
Fantastic information
I’m new at raw food for my two large dogs one is a year old Harley who is a mix Dogo and American bull who weighs about 80 lbs and Bo who is about 10 who weighs about 94 lbs and i have so many questions one I’m not good at math so I’m lost on the calculation for both and two where can i order the ingredients for both instead of the grocery store please your video was very helpful thank you
Great video I just added a second dog to the pack The first is a Cane Corso and the second from the same breeder is a 1/2 cc and english mastiff. One is a year old and the other is 9 weeks. I love the raw food concept my older guy has been on it since month one and my little guy is starting now. Love the 15 day plan thanks
Awesome! Thank you so much and congratulations on your new baby! I love Cane Corsos! ❤️
Would you be for hire to write a recipe for a 100 pound batch for a kennel?
Thank you for a great video! Very informative.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for sharing this video is outstanding.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the very informative video. Would it be possible to share the link to the Sample 15-Day Raw Meal Prep table/sheet? It looks like it is excel sheet?
Of course! I will spend some time this weekend redoing it in Google sheets or Excel so the formulas are in there. This was more for the video and blog post as a visual - I didn't use the sheet for the calculations if that makes sense. I'm happy to do this though. It's a fantastic idea. I'll comment again here with the link when it's done. 😊
@@BigDogMom You're the best :)
Update on this?
WHERE do you feed them? I am about to start on this journey and wanted to know if I need to keep my guy in the kennel to keep the mess down or if this is not even an issue.
I'm SHOCKED at your prices. I can't get anything for less than $4/lb, and am feeding 6 dogs (3 big, 3 smaller). No price difference between co-op and butcher. I'm in Phoenix, and it's VERY expensive, grrrrr.
I order from RahRaw. They have 60lb bulk boxes for $150 ish. I have 5 frenchies. I get titan red. It’s already balanced with bone, organ, meat, fruits, and vegetables. I add in supplements and some dried herring fish. They go crazy over it and it actually cost us WAY less then when we we’re feeding Royal Canin kibble.
Thank you .Is it possible to get full recipes for the meals,please?
Thank you for the great question! Unfortunately, I don't have any specific recipes that I follow. I vary what I feed pretty regularly and use the calculations shown in this video to figure out how much of each ingredient to feed. There are many options within each category (meat, organ, raw meaty bone, veggie, fruit, fat, etc), so really the recipe is whatever you want it to be. If you would like a detailed recipe for your meals, I did do a very comprehensive review of raw feeding mobile apps - several of which DO give you recipes to follow. Here is the link to that video: th-cam.com/video/BdmUqdbMcQA/w-d-xo.html. Another option is to go through a website like Perfectly Rawsome. They will create recipes for you for a fee. I hope this helps!!

I have a GSD, Pomeranian, and a schnoodle. Can you recommend sources for information for the smaller dogs?
Great info thank you
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you liked it!
Hi, the link to find raw food co op in our area on one of your old videos isn't working, do you have a new link for that please?
Unfortunately, I don't control those sites that list national and regional co-ops. My advice is to also check Facebook as many local co-ops don't have websites, but rather run their co-op through a Facebook group. The one I go through is that way.
Does your Co-op ship? I can’t seem to find one near me, thanks in advance
Thanks for the question - unfortunately, the specific co-op I'm in does not ship, however one of the suppliers we buy from does. That is Big Dan's Trucking in MN. On their website they provide instructions for shipping. Where are you located (state)?
I just published this and thought it might help: bigdogmom.com/raw-dog-food-co-op-by-state-map/
Stephanie your videos are amazing. Do you accept any brand collaborations?
Thank you so much! I have a few close partners, but the bar is very high. 😊
It's more to it than I thought. But still considering it
How do you find raw food locally that’s not commercial expensive
I only buy from one of two raw food co-ops in my area. I can also get some raw items from the local Amish and from family that have cows. You sort of have to be creative and resourceful to find good deals. Most people have a raw dog food co-op, so that's where I would start. I hope this helps!!
Blessings and great info once again, I want to do more raw feeding but my dogo has a sensitive stomach and also raw feeding can cause the stool to be a runny at first right and if so how long does that last, let me know please thank you much and God Bless
I would think some raw (properly made) would be good for sensitive stomach. Always transition to new food very slowly adding a little at a time, this should help with loose stools. Also you can add some Slippery Elm or Marshmallow Root to help with tummy issues, both help the stomach. Sometimes going to raw, a dog goes through a "detox" period that seems like it's not working, but be patient, it's their body getting rid of the garbage stored from commercial dog food 😁🐾.
@@christinec.3817 Blessings and thank you much for the awesome info, I did hear of slippery elm also, will definitely try thank you much and I appreciate it much God Bless
@christinec.3817 true. My past dog would poo about 4-5 times in one walk. It took about two weeks for his poo to become normal. He got rid of all the toxins in about two weeks. If you want hi s stool to become firm in that two week period, give him some cooked white rice with several tablespoons of canned organic pumpkin between his regular meals. Just a cup of cooked rice with the pumpkin, two tablespoons. It might take a couple of days for the stool to become firm. I've fed my new dog raw since he was 7 weeks old. He's a year old now and weighs 160lbs. No fat, just thick bone and all muscle. He is a South African Boerboel
Amazing
Thank you so much! 😊
Very informative , I prep 60 days of food using 70/10/10/10
Wow!! That's awesome! I wish I could fit that much in my freezer! My goal is to work up to 30 days as that would make my life SO much easier! Out of curiosity, do you do anything differently than what I showed here? Do you weigh each meal or do it in bulk like I did?

I have an 8 year old dogue de Bordeaux who is allergic to chicken. What ratio of meat, bone and organ should he have?

Can you please do a video on how to save on the raw diet with huge dogs. Trust me when I say we’re all ears 😅.
Yes, definitely on my list of videos! Great idea! Bloodhounds or Bassetts? ❤️
@@BigDogMom 😂😂😂 a presa and African mastiff
@@zendariuskincaid5205two amazing dog breeds. I have a boerboel and wanted a Presa but I'm glad I got my boerboel
My dog has been eating raw for 3 months and still has very loose runny stool. Help.
I'm so sorry! It's hard to know how to help without knowing what you are feeding. When you watched this video, were your percentages about the same in terms of meat, bone, and organ? What else are you feeding? Allergies (typically from a protein source) can also sometimes be a culprit, so maybe look into that as well. Are you giving a probiotic? Typically a healthy dog on a raw diet will have loose stool (not runny diarrhea) from not enough bone or too much organ. I wish I could be more helpful. Maybe share a little more detail and I can try and offer some more concrete suggestions.
@@BigDogMom Unfortunately I don't know. We are buying ground beef with bones and organ meat already ground in. I suspect it's low on bone as grinding beef bones would not be easy.
Cook up some white rice, add canned, organic pumpkin. Give him about a cup of rice with a couple of tablespoons of pumpkin mixed in. He'll have normal poo in a couple of days. You could feed that one daily for 3-4days between his normal raw.
Does your dog eat bones?
Needs more bone in the diet!!! The poo will harden up! If the poops looks white/chalky then the dog is getting too much bone.
I am just starting a raw diet. Easing into it by adding hamburger, liver and sardine on top of their kibble. They won’t eat it. 😢
Liver is a tough one for most dogs. I might consider trying something like ground beef, frozen sardine or canned salmon, and some fresh tripe. See if they like that. 😊
Where do u get your bones
I just order my raw meaty bones through my raw food co-op or sometimes I'm lucky enough to get some from the Amish farm I buy raw milk from. You can also buy ground bone or bone meal as well if you are having trouble locating raw meaty bones in bulk.
Good dog, this is made way too complicated 😂
You lost me at math.
Haha! That was funny! I get it, it's not everyone's favorite topic. Thankfully, there are some great apps that do the math for you if you need it. Here is the video I did on those: th-cam.com/video/BdmUqdbMcQA/w-d-xo.html
@@BigDogMom thanks!
How many slices of pizza would I need to eat each day to last an entire week without any slices leftover? I don't eat the crust and I will eat extra slices if there are anchovies, peppers and shrimps? The pie has these 3 ingredients...can someone do the math? One more thing, must be eaten at breakfast and lunch.
Normal people can't afford this no way
If you can't feed raw all the time, any raw meals are good. I do about 2 am meals a week of premade raw. Something is better than nothing. This helps with affordability. I also watch for meat that is on quick sale to save $$.
My mastiff would love this as a treat a few times a week. Last week I left the kitchen she ate the raw chicken breasts I had just pounded for chicken parm right off the counter, all 4 lbs gone in 2 minutes 😂
Fantastic advice!! Thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh, that's hysterical!!! 🤣. Not for you and your family of course. Haha! Any raw is better than none, so my recommendation is to add what you can and don't feel a bit of guilt either way. You are doing an awesome job!
I am a completely "normal" big dog owner who spends about the same amount on raw as I do on kibble. It may be slightly more expensive some months depending on what I can source here locally. And I do switch back to kibble when I run out of raw - or do a combination of the two. I really don't stress about it. I make it work for us.
At 8 minutes in I’m already confused and tired. I need something more simplified😂
You lost me at 6:25 minutes. I did not know a calculator was required to make raw meals. Maybe Biden can pay for me for going back to college so that I can get my Raw Dog Food degree.
🥱 💤
hello, your dogs get meat everyday? seriously? is this healthy?
Yep, more than healthy! lots of research goes into it, I'd definitely check it out =)
@@lizswenson5056 omg. I'm from Germany. Feeding your pet with only meat would be extremely expensive. Where are you from? US?
@@denizb1172 Aw I definitely understand. I live in Texas and have a lot of affordable options! I do not fully feed raw but have been homecooking for my dogs for 11 years now and I do not think I could do anything else. I've saved money, and it only takes 2 hours of time on Sunday after I meal prep for myself! LOLOL It's a process and definitely not for everyone! I understand it can be pricey if there are not enough resources where you live.
Also forgot to mention I don't feed ONLY meat, but it's the main base of their food.
@@lizswenson5056 you are right. In the US food is cheaper. And if you live in Texas you can hunt and garden 😉 I don't have that opportunities. What's the weight of your dog? 🙈
