Cotswold Raw for puppies
Cotswold Raw is a UK raw dog food brand, and the range we hold includes a puppy-specific frozen chicken mince alongside its wider selection of raw mince, tripe and natural treats. If you're already feeding raw, or considering it for a young dog, here's what's actually in the range and what to think about first.
What's in the range
The puppy line centres on a frozen chicken mince formulated for growing dogs, sitting alongside Cotswold Raw's broader adult range of active mince in flavours like beef, lamb, turkey and tripe, plus natural chews such as beef tails and rabbit ears. It's a single-protein, minimally processed approach rather than a kibble-style ingredients list.
Everything in the range is sold frozen and posted from stock we hold in the UK, so it needs proper freezer space and planning around delivery, in the same way any raw frozen food does, rather than sitting in a cupboard the way a dry food would.
What to know before switching a puppy to raw
Raw feeding a growing puppy needs the same care over nutritional balance that any puppy food does, since bones, joints and organs are all developing quickly in the first year. A complete raw mince, properly formulated for puppies rather than simply a smaller portion of an adult recipe, is the safer starting point.
Any diet change, raw or otherwise, is best done gradually over a week or two rather than switched overnight, and it's worth talking it through with your vet first, particularly if your puppy has any existing digestive sensitivity or you're new to raw feeding altogether.
Who this range suits
This is a range for owners who already feed raw, or are committed to giving it a proper go, rather than a casual add-on to a kibble diet. The puppy mince gives a single, purpose-built option for a young dog, while the wider adult range offers variety once they've grown, from tripe-based mince to natural chews.
It's less suited to someone wanting to try raw feeding casually alongside a full kibble diet, since a frozen product needs proper freezer space and forward planning around when it arrives, rather than sitting ready in a cupboard. If that commitment fits your routine, the puppy mince is a straightforward way to start a young dog on this brand's approach.

Common questions
- Is Cotswold Raw's puppy mince a complete food?
- Check the individual product description for the exact formulation, since raw ranges vary in whether a line is complete or complementary. A complete mince is designed to meet a puppy's full nutritional needs on its own; a complementary one is meant to be fed alongside something else.
- Can I mix Cotswold Raw with dry puppy food?
- Raw and dry food digest at different speeds, so many owners feed them as separate meals rather than mixed together in the same bowl, to avoid unsettling a puppy's stomach. If you want to combine feeding types, introduce the change gradually and watch how your puppy gets on.
- How should I store and thaw frozen puppy mince?
- Keep it frozen until you need it, thaw the amount needed in the fridge rather than at room temperature, and use it within the timeframe given on the packaging once defrosted. Good hygiene around raw food handling matters for your household as well as your puppy.
- Do you have customer reviews for this range?
- We don't currently collect published customer reviews on the site, so we can't point you to a review score here. What we can tell you is exactly what's in the range and how it's meant to be fed, which is what this page sets out to do.
