Description

Your dog deserves real food. You deserve not to go broke feeding it.

Boutique raw brands charge $12 a pound for the same chicken frames and beef spleen your butcher practically gives away. Raw Fed on $5 a Day shows you exactly how to feed a nutritionally complete, rotation-based raw diet — without the premium markup, the complicated formulas, or the scaremongering.

What's inside (22 pages):

  • Why commercial raw is overpriced — and what you're actually paying for
  • The BARF vs. prey model framework, explained simply
  • The full budget ingredient list: cuts that cost $1–3/kg and cover every nutritional base
  • Exact ratios and portion calculations for dogs 5kg to 50kg
  • A 14-day transition protocol that prevents the usual upset-stomach disasters
  • Batch prep and freezer strategy: one 2-hour session covers four weeks
  • The vet conversation — what to say, what to ignore, and how to get the bloodwork that proves the diet is working
  • Troubleshooting guide for loose stools, picky eaters, and white chalky stools
  • Long-term sourcing strategy including Asian grocers, butcher scraps, and group buys

This guide comes with three companion add-ons: a monthly meal prep planner, an ingredient safety cheat sheet, and a vet conversation script with budget tracker.

Instant PDF download. No subscription, no upsell, no fluff.

Can't I just find raw feeding ratios for free online?
You can, and most people who try end up with twenty browser tabs that all contradict each other on ratios, organ percentages, and what's safe. This guide pulls the budget version into one finishable system: the cuts that cost $1-3/kg, exact portions for dogs 5kg to 50kg, and a 14-day transition so you don't end up cleaning up loose stools all week. You read it once and start, instead of researching forever.
Why pay for a PDF when I'm already trying to save money?
Boutique raw runs around $12 a pound for the same chicken frames and beef spleen your butcher nearly gives away. This guide costs less than a single bag of that premium raw, and the sourcing section alone (Asian grocers, butcher scraps, group buys) is built to cut your feeding bill to about $5 a day. It pays for itself in roughly the first week of shopping differently.
Will this work for my dog's size and situation?
The portion math is built to scale, with exact ratios and calculations for dogs from 5kg up to 50kg, so a small terrier and a large shepherd both get a complete plate. There's a troubleshooting section for picky eaters, loose stools, and white chalky stools, plus a transition protocol if your dog has only ever known kibble. You adjust the same framework to your dog rather than starting over.
Is raw feeding actually safe, and what will my vet say?
This is an educational guide, not a replacement for your vet, and it's upfront about that. It includes a vet-conversation section on what to say, what to ignore, and how to ask for the bloodwork that shows the diet is working, so you can have a real discussion instead of a defensive one. If you want a hands-off, zero-prep solution, home-cooked raw isn't it, but the batch-prep strategy gets a month's food done in one two-hour session.
Where do I actually start without messing it up?
Start with the 14-day transition protocol, which is the part most people skip and then regret. From there the budget ingredient list and the ratio tables tell you exactly what to buy and how much to feed, and the batch-prep chapter turns it into one session that covers four weeks. It's 22 pages built to be used, not just read.

Sound familiar?

Boutique raw charges €12 a pound for the same chicken frames and beef spleen your butcher nearly gives away.

You want to feed real food — but every guide is either scaremongering or a spreadsheet of formulas you'll never keep up with.

You've read the Facebook groups, the contradictory blog posts, the brand 'feeding guides' that all end at their own checkout. The problem was never missing information — it's that none of it added up to a plan you could actually shop and prep on a normal week.

Why this guide

Raw feeding sounds expensive because most guides assume you're buying premium cuts. This guide shows you how to feed raw on grocery store budgets.

Balanced raw meal plans built from affordable ingredients, with sourcing tips and prep batching strategies — so home feeding is sustainable, not a weekend project.

So glad I bought this. The ratios for my dog's weight made it foolproof. A genuinely useful resource.
Demi W. · Glasgow, UK
Clear and practical, on the whole. Cut through the scaremongering and the over-complication. The layout could be cleaner on a phone. Five stars from me.
James J. · Milan, IT
Clear and practical, on the whole. Cut through the scaremongering and the over-complication. Editable digital versions of the worksheets would be a nice touch. Worth it if you know what you're getting.
Glen L. · Denver, CO
This one's a keeper. The ratios for my dog's weight made it foolproof. Pairing it with the Raw Ingredient Safety & Nutrition Cheat Sheet made it even better. Money very well spent.
Kevin F. · Liverpool, UK
No regrets at all. The 14-day transition meant almost no tummy troubles. Highly recommend.

So glad I bought this. My dog's coat and energy are noticeably better. Five stars from me.

Iris R. · Barcelona, ES
Good value with a couple of caveats. Solid guide, some pricing leans UK/EU. Batch prep needs more freezer space than it lets on. Would cautiously recommend.

This actually delivered. My dog's coat and energy are noticeably better. It assumes you'll do the work — which is fair, but worth knowing. Money very well spent.

Solid guide overall. The 14-day transition meant almost no tummy troubles. I just wish it were a little longer. Worth it if you know what you're getting.

Exactly what I needed. My dog's coat and energy are noticeably better. A couple of sections felt brief. Highly recommend.
Maria S. · Phoenix, AZ

Priya G. · Singapore
Useful, with a few small gaps. Great method; the first prep day is a real time investment. Wanted more done-for-you recipes vs a build-your-own framework. Worth it if you know what you're getting.
Paul F. · Hull, UK

Olivia T.
The budget cuts idea genuinely saved money but some pricing and cut names lean UK/EU, so I had to translate. Okay — saves money, costs time.
Nina D.
The ratios for my dog's weight were clear but the first prep day was a much bigger time sink than implied. Good method, more work to start than expected.
Roy M.
It cuts through a lot of the scaremongering but the batch prep needs more freezer space than it lets on. Reasonable once set up; the start is the hard bit.
Lucas Z.
The transition protocol limited the tummy upset but it's a build-your-own framework and I'd wanted more done-for-you recipes. Helpful, just wanted plug-and-play meals.
Chloe L.
