We get to pick up our Staffy in 3 weeks time and just looking into all the options around food, and to be honest am quite drawn to the raw food diet for him. Does anyone else feed their dogs raw food and does anyone have any experience of the pre-packed raw food such as this: https://www.naturesmenu.co.uk/puppy-nuggets

Just being fed pedigree so will give a week before starting to move him over. Our cats really like the natures menu so this seems a good route for me.

Will also use dentastix and other chewy stuff for his teeth, but also gonna get him used to brushing etc from the off.

So looking forward to getting the little bugger home in 3 weeks.

Good point on the chicken wings, had seen them as well. Think I might need to make friends with the local butcher smile

And yes, the turd and fart situation is generally improved with a raw diet from what I have heard.

Cheers all for the advice. Will definitely be going this route to start with I think.

So after 2 weeks of raw food results are looking good. No smelly farts (practically unknown for a Staffy hehe), nice firm stools, no bad breath and a good coat. He seems to prefer the Natural Instinct compared to the Natures Menu. He is never going to be a massive dog anyway so shouldn't cost too much in the long term. He also loves raw duck wings, though had to remove the last inch or so of the last one he had as he was trying to swallow it whole! Need to teach him some bone manners methinks.
