Raw Dog Food vs Dry Food: Which is Better for Your Pet?
Let’s be real. Picking your pup’s dinner these days feels a bit like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube... blindfolded. Between biscuit mountains and raw food fanfare, it’s enough to make your head (and your dog’s tail) spin. So, what is the best chow for your furry mate?
Dry Food: The Old Favourite (aka the crunchy classic)
Ah, dry food. The OG. The easy, breezy, pop-it-in-the-bowl-and-go option. It’s been keeping tails wagging for years and to be fair, it is super convenient. But have you ever flipped that bag over and squinted at the ingredients list?
Yeah... some of those names sound more like science experiments than dinner. Fillers, preservatives, and mystery bits? No thanks.
Raw Food: The Natural Choice (aka the good stuff)
Now we’re talking. Raw feeding is all about getting back to basics. We’re talking fresh mince, juicy meaty bones, offal (don’t be scared, it’s doggy gold), and a sprinkle of veg. It’s the kind of thing your dog’s ancestors would’ve drooled over.
At Pet Mince Direct, we’re big fans. We’ve seen pups transform with raw feeding! Shinier coats, cleaner chompers, zoomier zoomies, and digestion that runs smoother than a slip-n-slide. What’s not to love?
So, What’s the Verdict?
Here’s the deal: every dog is different (just like every human, except dogs are way cuter). Some do just fine on dry food, but if you’re chasing fresher ingredients, fewer nasties, and a whole lot of tail-thumping happiness, raw is worth a crack. Bonus? Smaller, less stinky poos. Yup. It’s a thing. You're welcome.

We’ve got the goods! From single-protein picks for sensitive tummies to complete raw blends that’ll have your pup licking the bowl clean (and maybe your ankles too).
