The Classic Venison & Duck Recipe is suitable for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. The meals are packaged in 1kg blocks (not patties). Once defrosted, the food should be consumed within 3 days.

Venison is a novel protein which makes this a great choice for dogs with food sensitivities. This meal is considered hypoallergenic.

To provide a balanced diet, rotate this meal with other Paleo Ridge recipes for the most exciting mealtime. The Paleo Ridge Variety Super Bundle is an amazing way to offer a balanced diet with lots of different flavors.

Paleo Ridge raw meals are safe to feed your pet. We advise only feeding raw dog food from manufacturers that can prove they have high quality-control standards. This will ensure the raw dog food you buy has been sourced, handled, prepared, and stored correctly and is safe to feed.

Paleo Ridge is currently the most accredited Raw Dog Food manufacturer in the UK and the UAE. Paleo Ridge has sought and gained independent globally recognized accreditation:

• OF&G Organic approved
• ISO 9001 approved
• Ethical Pet Award approved
• DEFRA approved (Defra licence no 15/103/8003/ABP/PTF)

Independent unannounced audits are mandatory for these extra accreditations. This ensures Paleo Ridge meets their very high standards, every single day. Please see our hygiene instructions on how to safely handle and store raw dog food in your home.

How much raw food to feed your dog depends on your dog’s age, activity level, and body condition. Start with the lower recommended percentage and readjust the feeding amount if necessary.

PUPPIES: Feed 2-3% of their anticipated 'ideal' adult body weight.

HEALTHY DOGS: Feed 2-3% of their body weight. Smaller dogs and very active dogs may require a higher percentage of their body weight.

OVERWEIGHT PETS: Feed 1.5-2% of their body weight. Adjust the amount again once your pet is at their ideal weight.

IMPORTANT: Every pet is unique. Please note that these are only guidelines. Please adjust the feeding percentages and amounts based on how your pet looks. Paleo Ridge is very nutrient dense so your dog may require less food on Paleo Ridge compared to other raw pet food brands.

The Paleo Ridge Essential line is formulated to be complete & balanced for all life stages as per the FEDIAF guidelines. The meals contain a mix of pasture-raised meats, organs, bones, and organic vegetables. They are naturally complete & balanced which means they are 100% free of synthetic ingredients (aka "special nutrient mix"). Packaged in solid 500g portions (No patties). 

Similarly to the Essentials, the classic 80-10-10 meals also contain pasture-raised meats, organs, and bones, and NO synthetic ingredients. However, the Classic 80-10-10 meals do NOT contain any vegetables, fruit, or oils. It is a 100% animal-based diet. The classic meals are balanced over time by feeding a mixture of different recipes. Packaged in solid 1kg portions (No patties). Because the Classic 80-10-10 meals do not contain vegetables, they would be more suitable for pets with a history of yeast infections or ear infections as these meals will better aid in starving yeast in the body.

Conventional veterinarians are medical professionals and not qualified nutritionists, therefore veterinarians are often misinformed. Vets are subject to the same blanket advertising and sales pitches from processed food manufacturers as the buying public. The media is a very powerful tool.

Veterinarians are the only medical professionals who actively promote feeding a highly processed diet over whole food diets. As humans, we know that highly processed foods are very bad for us, why would this be different for our four legged companions? Studies now show adding as little as 20% raw food to dry food diets can drastically decrease disease markers in dogs. The more raw food you can feed, the healthier your animal will be.

Holistic veterinarians such as Dr. Karen Becker are avid supporters of balanced raw diets and a great resource to find more information about pet nutrition.
