The Dogs Butcher Raw Dog Food - Ox Kidney 500g

This single protein framework delivers an incredibly robust nutritional profile that supports superior metabolic performance, immune health, and overall cellular vitality. Structurally, kidney is classified as a vital secreting offal, meaning it fulfills the critical non liver half of the 10% total organ allocation required in standard ancestral raw feeding guidelines. Ox beef represents an outstanding, traditional red meat foundation loaded with high quality protein and iron that you expect from premium beef. As a true micronutrient powerhouse, ox kidney is naturally packed with exceptionally high levels of vitamins A, B, and C, alongside copper, zinc, selenium, and riboflavin, which facilitate optimal night vision, steady cellular energy production, and a glowing skin and coat.

As a pure organ meat product, these fresh kidney cuts are classified as a complementary raw food item. This provides ultimate flexibility for raw feeding enthusiasts who practice a hands on DIY approach or follow standard prey model templates to construct their pets meals from scratch. Because secreting offal is incredibly rich and nutrient dense, it should be balanced carefully across your pets weekly routine. These whole or chunked pieces serve as an irreplaceable structural building block for hitting precise offal ratios, conducting managed single protein elimination trials, or acting as an intensely flavourful, highly aromatic natural appetite booster that gets selective pets genuinely excited about their bowls.

Suitable For

Breed Size: All breeds and sizes; the firm pieces can be effortlessly sliced down at home into tiny portions for toy breeds and felines, or left whole for large and giant breeds.

Life Stage: Formulated for adult pets and older puppies or kittens from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for animals requiring a nutrient boost, active working breeds with high caloric workloads, and pets on a dedicated elimination trial.

Feeding Guide and How To Use

Dietary Balancing: This is a complementary raw ingredient. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure these kidney pieces are paired with appropriate muscle meats 80%, a raw calcium source or bone 10%, and a matching portion of liver 5%, alongside optional seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Serving Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 500g pack and portion the pieces directly into your pets bowl. Due to the natural slippery consistency of the thawed product, the manufacturer recommends slicing the kidney when it is only partially, and not fully, thawed to achieve clean, precise portions. It can also be thinly sliced and dehydrated at home for high value training treats.

Handling and Thawing: Store at 18 degrees Celsius and keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost the package inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product, as heat completely destroys the delicate live digestive enzymes and alters the natural vitamin matrix.

Storage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the ox kidney 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 organ 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.
