Formulated by the Devon based manufacturer using ethically and locally sourced UK livestock, this single ingredient product consists of 100% human grade British beef. Departing from standard fine ground textures, this selection is packed as large, satisfyingly substantial portions of whole muscle meat, often arriving as massive single cuts. This unique presentation aligns perfectly with the brand philosophy that you can always cut pieces smaller, but you cannot make them bigger, granting owners complete control over the serving size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis single protein framework delivers an incredibly robust profile of essential macro and micro nutrients that support long term metabolic performance and vitality. Prime cuts of ox provide an energy dense source of high quality red meat protein, loaded with essential amino acids, B vitamins, zinc, and highly bioavailable iron needed for muscle recovery and cellular oxygenation. This formulation embraces a natural, nose to tail approach to raw feeding by purposefully allowing a natural fat content of up to 20%. This renders it an incredibly calorie rich, fuel packed selection that is highly advantageous for performance breeds, outdoor working dogs, or animals needing to maintain healthy weight parameters, while remaining highly palatable to even the most selective or hesitant eaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a completely boneless and offal free product, these meaty chunks are classified as a complementary raw food item. This makes them a highly versatile asset for experienced raw feeders who prefer a hands on DIY approach to their dogs bowls. They serve as a wonderful foundational building block for establishing personalized allergy elimination trials, balancing out high bone meals, or acting as an engaging, high reward protein rotator that satisfies your dogs primal drive to tear, chew, and process whole fresh meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs and working dogs. Strictly not for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreed Size: All breeds and sizes; the large whole pieces can be effortlessly sliced down for small toy breeds or left whole as an engaging chewing challenge for large and giant breeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife Stage: Formulated for adult dogs and older puppies from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for active working breeds, athletic companions with high metabolic demands, or dogs requiring a clean, single protein poultry free red meat framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guide and How To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaily Serving: As a general guide, feed approximately 2% to 3% of your adult dogs ideal body weight per day, preferably split across two daily meals. Adjust the exact amount based on your dogs workload, age, metabolic rate, and physical condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary Balancing: This is a complementary, boneless raw ingredient. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure these chunks are paired with an appropriate calcium source or raw bone, and rotated with 4 to 5 different protein varieties per week, or supplemented with your own choice of offal, seasonal fruits, and vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 1kg pack and portion the chunks directly into your dogs bowl, or cut to your preferred dimensions using a sharp kitchen knife. If smaller serving amounts are required, allow the pack to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely slice, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling and Thawing: Store at 18°C and keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost the package inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight (approximately 10 to 12 hours) before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product, as heat destroys the beneficial live digestive enzymes and alters the natural structure of the meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the ox chunks in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 48 hours to ensure maximum freshness. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Handling: This is a raw meat product and should be handled with standard hygiene rules. Wash hands, bowls, utensils, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always make fresh, clean drinking water available daily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54555772354894,"sku":"TDBMOXC","price":9.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/MeatyOxChunks.png?v=1787820410","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/the-dogs-butcher-raw-dog-food-1kg-meaty-ox-chunks","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
