Common questions.

If you don't see your question answered below, email Support@revivalrawdogfood.com. We answer every email personally, usually within 24 hours.

Q01Is raw food safe for my dog?

Yes — when handled like any raw protein. We source human-grade ingredients, flash-freeze immediately, and ship cold. Thaw in the fridge, feed within 3 days. Dogs are biologically built for raw protein — their stomach acid (pH 1–2) is evolved for exactly this.

Q02How much should I feed my dog?

Roughly 2–3% of ideal body weight per day, split into 1–2 meals. A 60-lb working dog eats ~1.5 lbs/day. Adjust up or down based on activity, metabolism, and body condition. We include a feeding chart on every box.

Q03How do I transition from kibble?

Cold turkey works for most dogs. Skip a meal, then offer raw. If you prefer a slower switch, do 7 days: start 25% raw / 75% kibble, then 50/50, then 75/25, then 100. Fast is fine — kibble and raw don't digest at the same rate so mixing long-term isn't ideal.

Q04Where do you ship?

Nationwide across the continental U.S. Orders ship frozen in insulated boxes.

Q05What's the shelf life?

Frozen: 12 months. Thawed in the fridge: 3 days. We date-stamp every bag.

Q06Do you offer subscriptions?

Yes — autoship saves you 10% and gets priority on seasonal stock like our whole turkey. Cancel or skip anytime.

Q07Is the food USDA inspected?

Yes. Every protein lot we use is human-grade and USDA inspected. The same beef, organ, and bone you would find at a butcher.

Q08Are there grains, peas, or synthetic vitamins?

No. The BLT Blend has three ingredients: beef, liver, tripe. No grains, no legumes, no synthetic vitamin spray-ons. Nutrients stay intact from the source.

Q09Can I feed raw to my puppy?

Yes, with adjusted portions. Puppies eat 5–8% of current body weight, split into 3–4 meals/day until 4 months, then 2–3 meals until 12 months. Talk to your breeder or vet for breed-specific guidance.

Q10My dog has a sensitive stomach. Is raw okay?

In most cases yes, but use the 7-day or 14-day gradual protocol instead of cold turkey. Some dogs with diagnosed IBD need vet supervision during the switch.
