The Dogs Butcher Raw Dog Food - 1kg Whole Ox Tongue

This single protein framework delivers an incredibly robust profile of essential macro and micro nutrients that support long term metabolic performance and vitality. Structurally, ox tongue is an incredibly dense, hardworking muscle meat, meaning it contributes directly to the 80% muscle meat portion of your dog's bowl rather than counting toward the 10% secreting offal allowance. It provides an outstanding source of high quality red meat protein alongside a rich profile of essential fatty acids, zinc, choline, and highly bioavailable iron needed for optimal muscle recovery and cellular oxygenation. It is also an exceptional natural source of B group vitamins (particularly vitamin B12) which are vital for supporting healthy nervous system maintenance and steady daily energy levels.

As a completely boneless and offal free product, this whole tongue is classified as a complementary raw food item. This makes it a highly versatile asset for experienced raw feeders who prefer a hands on DIY approach to building their dog's meals. It serves as a wonderful foundational building block for balancing out high bone meals, managing poultry free red meat diets, or acting as an engaging, high reward protein rotator that satisfies your dog's primal instinct to chew, pull, and process large cuts of fresh meat.

Suitable For

Breed Size: All breeds and sizes; the large whole tongue can be effortlessly sliced down for small toy breeds or left completely intact as an immersive chewing challenge for medium, large, and giant breeds.

Life 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 red meat alternative.

Feeding Guide and How To Use

Dietary Balancing: This is a complementary, boneless raw ingredient. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure this tongue is paired with an appropriate calcium source or raw bone, and rotated with different protein varieties per week, or supplemented with your own choice of secreting offal (like liver and kidney), seasonal fruits, and vegetables.

Serving Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the pack and present the whole tongue directly to your dog, or cut to your preferred dimensions using a sharp kitchen knife. If smaller serving amounts are required, allow the tongue to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely slice, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer.

Handling 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 12 to 14 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.

Storage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the ox tongue 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.

Safe 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.
