Raw dog food, delivered regularly
Raw dog food is sold frozen, which means it needs proper freezer planning rather than being picked up as a last-minute top-up the way a bag of kibble can be. Ordering it on a regular basis — many owners settle into a roughly monthly rhythm — is a practical way to keep on top of stock without either running out or overfilling the freezer, though every order here is placed individually rather than through an automatic recurring charge.
Why raw feeding suits a regular ordering routine
Because raw food needs freezer space and a defrost lead-time before it can be fed, most raw feeders find it easier to plan ahead with a rough monthly order rather than buying reactively. Working out roughly how much your dog eats in a month, based on their weight and the feeding guide on your chosen recipe, makes it straightforward to place a similarly sized order each time.
Placing that order yourself each time, rather than relying on an automatic subscription, also means you can adjust the amount, mix of proteins, or timing as your dog's needs change, rather than being locked into a fixed recurring order.
Being honest about the cost
Raw food generally costs more per kilogram than dry kibble, largely because it is a fresh, higher-moisture product with more meat and less processing involved. It is worth comparing cost per kilogram or per typical daily portion, rather than per bag or per pack, since raw and dry portions are not the same size for the same dog.
There is no getting around the fact that raw feeding is, for most dogs, a more expensive way to feed than a mainstream dry food — it is not something we would describe as the cheapest option, and the right comparison is what it costs against your dog's current diet, not against the lowest-priced food on the shelf.
Managing the freezer side of things
A chest freezer or a dedicated section of a standard one makes ordering a month's worth of raw food far more manageable than trying to squeeze it in around everything else. Defrosting a day or so ahead in the fridge, rather than at room temperature, is the usual approach for both chubbs and pre-portioned nuggets.
If freezer space is limited, ordering a smaller amount more often is a perfectly reasonable alternative to one large monthly order — there is no fixed rule that monthly is the right interval for every household, only what suits your storage and your dog's feeding rate.

Common questions
- Is raw dog food cheaper than kibble?
- Generally not. Raw food tends to cost more per kilogram than dry kibble because it is a fresh, less processed product, so it is worth comparing cost per typical daily portion rather than assuming it will work out cheaper overall.
- Do you offer an automatic monthly subscription for raw food?
- Not as an automatic recurring charge — every order is placed individually. Many raw feeders settle into a roughly monthly ordering rhythm to match their freezer space and how quickly their dog gets through it, but you place each order yourself.
- How much freezer space does raw dog food need?
- That depends on your dog's size and how much you order at once. A medium-sized dog on a monthly order will typically need a reasonable dedicated section of a freezer, so many raw feeders find a small chest freezer more practical than relying on a standard fridge-freezer alone.
- How long does raw dog food last once it's delivered?
- It should go straight into the freezer on arrival and will keep there for several months, the same as any frozen meat. Once defrosted, follow the specific product's guidance on how long it can be kept in the fridge before it needs to be used.
