My dog is very keen to eat this, but I notice the pieces of rice come out the other end unchanged, and she's a little bit gassy after eating it. Not a biggy, but I'm going to avoid rice with her in future.

My dog's a 30kg Eastern European Village Dog and VERY picky. So honestly he really liked these, he was immediately willing to eat them which isn't normal for new things let alone raw. He was fed solely on these for a good couple of weeks. Poops were super nice and as you'd expect from raw, his coat and teeth stayed looking nice. He did however gain a lot of weight quickly despite exercise, he's not a dog that does good on carbs- it's one of the reasons I moved on from kibble. The customer service is pretty good though. I stopped feeding him this because of the ingredient content though, I didn't feel like it was actually "complete" food given the lack of organ or bone content. If it's what you can afford and it's what's available to you then there's no shame in that, otherwise I'd suggest looking into other brands as in terms of raw meat. It's definitely not one of the best. Currently I use Bella & Duke for my chunky dude and it seems much higher quality it terms of recipe.

With raw diets, fruits and veggies ‘can’ be used in substitution for bone and organ content. Personally, I’m not a fan of using them in place of bone and offal. But, it isn’t a ‘bad’ diet. It’s more about what best suits your dog.

We feed these as dinner to our 14yr old mini Poodle along with a dry kibble for breakfast to get the best of both worlds. He absolutely loves the stuff, they smell really good to me and you can see the whole pieces of rice etc in them if you mash it up. His poos are perfect consistency and have virtually no smell since moving him onto this. Just be cautious as with any raw food and ensure you wash bowls and hands etc after use and you won't have to worry about bugs anymore than you do with your own dinner.

We've been feeding our 9 month old German Shepard on Natures Menu puppy feed and she absolutely loves it, more so than any other brand we have tried. We actually cook the frozen "nuggets" before feeding and she wolfs them down like there is no tomorrow! The quality is so good that once cooked then even smell and look appetising to a human!We have tried the tripe variety, and whilst our dog loves the dried strips of tripe she wasn't as keen on the tripe nuggets as she was with the chicken. Not to mention the smell wasn't too nice when we cooked them, but she would eat them no problem.The price is a little higher than most other commercial brands but when you see the quality of the feed it is to be expected. Our 20kg GSD gets through about half a 1kg bag a day (along with a good quality dry feed) so the daily cost is around £1:50 which I feel is a good deal.

Why do you cook them? You’re just cooking out all the nutrients…
