Common questions

Sound familiar?

Boutique raw charges €12 a pound for the same chicken frames and beef spleen your butcher nearly gives away.

You want to feed real food — but every guide is either scaremongering or a spreadsheet of formulas you'll never keep up with.

You've read the Facebook groups, the contradictory blog posts, the brand 'feeding guides' that all end at their own checkout. The problem was never missing information — it's that none of it added up to a plan you could actually shop and prep on a normal week.

Why this guide

Raw feeding sounds expensive because most guides assume you're buying premium cuts. This guide shows you how to feed raw on grocery store budgets.

Balanced raw meal plans built from affordable ingredients, with sourcing tips and prep batching strategies — so home feeding is sustainable, not a weekend project.

Clear and practical, on the whole. Cut through the scaremongering and the over-complication. The layout could be cleaner on a phone. Five stars from me.

Clear and practical, on the whole. Cut through the scaremongering and the over-complication. Editable digital versions of the worksheets would be a nice touch. Worth it if you know what you're getting.

This one's a keeper. The ratios for my dog's weight made it foolproof. Pairing it with the Raw Ingredient Safety & Nutrition Cheat Sheet made it even better. Money very well spent.

Good value with a couple of caveats. Solid guide, some pricing leans UK/EU. Batch prep needs more freezer space than it lets on. Would cautiously recommend.

The budget cuts idea genuinely saved money but some pricing and cut names lean UK/EU, so I had to translate. Okay — saves money, costs time.

Olivia T.

Verified buyer

★★★★★

The ratios for my dog's weight were clear but the first prep day was a much bigger time sink than implied. Good method, more work to start than expected.

Nina D.

Verified buyer

★★★★★

It cuts through a lot of the scaremongering but the batch prep needs more freezer space than it lets on. Reasonable once set up; the start is the hard bit.

Roy M.

Verified buyer

★★★★★

The transition protocol limited the tummy upset but it's a build-your-own framework and I'd wanted more done-for-you recipes. Helpful, just wanted plug-and-play meals.
