Yes, you absolutely can co-feed kibble and raw pet food. We believe that any inclusion of fresh, raw food into your pet’s diet will be of huge benefit to them. Leading Raw recipes are complete and balanced, so you’re giving your dog all the nutrients they need, whether you feed it on its own or alongside something else.
How Do I Co-Feed Properly?
If you’re feeding both raw and kibble (or any other pet food) on an ongoing basis, you’ll want to adjust how much you’re giving from each. For example, if you’re doing a 50/50 split, just feed half the recommended amount of each food. Easy.
Want to go 70/30 or 90/10 instead? That works too. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, so find the balance that works best for you and your dog.
Some people like to mix the two foods in the same bowl at mealtimes. Others prefer feeding one for breakfast, the other for dinner. Either way is fine!
But if your dog has a sensitive stomach or you’re noticing any issues, it’s a good idea to keep the meals separate for a bit. That way, if something’s not agreeing with them, you’ll know what’s what.
Keep an Eye on How They’re Doing
As with any diet, the best way to know it’s working is to watch your dog. Check their weight, their energy levels, and monitor their poos. If they’re doing well and looking good, you’re on the right track.
