Natures Menu puppy food
Natures Menu's puppy range covers both frozen raw and a complete dry food, which is a genuinely different choice to make rather than a formality — raw feeding needs different storage, handling and defrosting than a bag of kibble, and it is worth knowing that before choosing based on the recipe alone.
What we stock
Our range includes the Natures Menu 80/20 Puppy Turkey & Fish Nuggets and the 80/20 Puppy Chicken & Salmon Nuggets, both frozen raw formulations, alongside the Original Puppy Chicken with Lamb and Meaty Treats Puppy Chicken & Pork for treats and toppers. The '80/20' naming refers to the meat-to-other-ingredients ratio in the raw nugget recipes, which is generally higher in named meat content than a standard dry kibble.
Raw needs a freezer with room to store it, proper defrosting in the fridge rather than at room temperature, and careful hygiene when handling it and cleaning bowls afterwards — broadly the same precautions you would take with raw meat for your own kitchen. If that routine does not suit your household, the dry complete option is the more practical everyday choice.
Who it suits
Raw feeding suits owners already comfortable with the storage and hygiene routine it needs, and who want a diet closer to natural prey composition for their puppy. It is not automatically better for every puppy, and switching a puppy already doing well on a dry complete food is a choice rather than a necessity.
Whichever format you choose, check it is specifically labelled for puppies rather than an adult recipe, since a puppy's calcium and calorie needs differ from an adult dog's, and introduce any new food — raw or dry — gradually over several days.

Common questions
- Is raw puppy food better than dry kibble?
- Neither is automatically better; both can support healthy growth when properly formulated and fed as directed. Raw suits owners comfortable with the extra storage and hygiene it needs, while dry kibble is simpler to store and portion day to day.
- How do I store frozen raw puppy food safely?
- Keep it frozen until you need it, defrost portions in the fridge rather than at room temperature, and use raw meat hygiene when handling it and cleaning any bowls or surfaces it has touched, the same as you would with raw meat for your own cooking.
- What does '80/20' mean on Natures Menu puppy food?
- It refers to the ratio of named meat to other ingredients such as vegetables and supplements in the raw nugget recipes, generally indicating a higher meat content than a standard dry kibble.
- Can I mix raw and dry puppy food?
- Many owners do, though it is worth introducing any change gradually and watching your puppy's stools as you do. If you are unsure how to combine formats safely, it is worth asking your vet for guidance specific to your puppy.
