Remember when your furkid could fit in the palm of your hand? Now they're stealing your spot on the couch! 😂🐾
As pets grow, their nutritional needs change too. The amount of food they need can vary depending on their age, weight, breed, activity level and life stage.
Take a moment to reassess their feeding guidelines and check whether their daily portions are still appropriate. Feeding too much or too little can affect their weight, energy levels and overall wellbeing.
At Doggobone, we're all about putting pets first and that starts with making sure their bowls are filled with the right amount of goodness.
When was the last time you checked your pet's portion size?

Summer is coming in hot and so should your raw food safety routine! 🌡️🐶🐱
As temperatures rise, leaving raw pet food outside to thaw can allow harmful bacteria to multiply more quickly, compromising food safety and freshness.
Keep your furkids' meals safe by following the storage and serving instructions on the packaging. This means first removing them from the packaging and thawing them in a sealed container in the fridge, never outside in the summer heat.
A little extra care goes a long way when it comes to keeping those tails wagging and tummies happy!
When it comes to raw feeding, keep it cool!

At Doggobone Active Raw Foods, your pet’s health and safety always come first. We want to take a moment to highlight a crucial handling instruction printed on all of our packaging:
Please remove contents prior to thawing.
We recently received a question about whether our plastic packaging is digestible after a hungry pup got a hold of a tube of Chicken Chow that was left to thaw in its wrapper.
To clarify:
Our plastic packaging is NOT digestible and can pose a serious health hazard if ingested.
Here is why following the thawing instructions is one of the reasons why it is important to your dog's safety:
> It prevents accidental ingestion: If the food is thawed inside the plastic, it becomes soft, smells irresistible to your dog, and is very easy for them to chew through. They can easily swallow the plastic along with the raw food.
> Frozen food is safer to handle: By removing the plastic while the food is still completely frozen, it is incredibly easy to peel off. If your dog does manage to grab a frozen block, they won't be able to quickly ingest a plastic wrapper!
The Correct Way to Thaw Doggobone Meals:
1. Take the frozen tube out of the freezer.
2. Immediately remove all plastic packaging while the meal is still frozen solid.
3. Place the frozen food into a safe bowl or container to thaw.
Please always read the handling procedures on our labels. We put them there for a variety of quality and safety reasons, including keeping your furry best friends out of harm's way!

Following up on our recent feeding trial announcement, we're excited to share the independent laboratory results for our Doggobone Classic formulation!
When we commissioned an independent digestibility trial using internationally recognised AAFCO protocols, our goal was simple: to move beyond opinion and validate our formulation with real nutritional science.
Here's what the results revealed:
>97.96% Fat Digestibility: Nearly every gram of healthy fat is absorbed and utilised to support sustained energy, healthy skin and a shiny coat.
>90.75% Protein Digestibility: Premium-quality protein means more essential amino acids are absorbed and used for muscle development and maintenance, with minimal waste.
>93.09% Overall Energy Digestibility: Combined with a high Metabolisable Energy (ME) value of 22.97 MJ/kg DM, every meal delivers concentrated, highly bioavailable nutrition to fuel your dog's everyday adventures.
So, what does this mean for your dog? 🐶
It means smaller, firmer stools, maximum nutrient absorption, and peak fuel for an active life, all from real, natural ingredients designed to help your dog thrive.
At Doggobone, we don't just believe in raw feeding, we believe in backing it with science.

You told us what’s in your bowl, now, we’re showing you the science behind it.
This is a massive milestone for the local industry: DoggoBone is proud to be the first registered raw pet food company in South Africa to conduct controlled feeding trials..
For over twenty years, our nutritional philosophy has been guided by the technical support of Dr. Richard Patton, a globally respected animal nutritionist with over four decades of pioneering experience.
His comment:
"I don't endorse products. I endorse good science and anyone who uses good nutrition science. I fully endorse Doggobone and their willingness to invest in proper scientific verification of their work." - Dr. Richard Patton PhD.
While global validation is incredible, executing it on the ground takes a village. We extend our deepest gratitude to our local consulting nutritionist who has walked this road with us, keeping our formulations world-class. This achievement is as much theirs as it is ours.
Our independent digestibility feed trials are officially in, and the results are absolutely exceptional!
When we say our food is biologically appropriate and highly nutritious, we don’t just expect you to take our word for it; we have the data to prove it.
The future of raw feeding is not just data-driven. It is a science. And we are leading the way.
