General FAQs

For years our own health practitioners have been telling us that we should try to eat as much fresh and locally sourced food as possible, while trying to eliminate as much processed food as we can. The same logic applies to our beloved pets! For our beloved ‘FoeGuardians’ to live a long, healthy and happy life, we should feed our dogs and cats a diet that is also fresh, locally sourced and as close to what nature has intended. With our years of experience, passion and love for animals, we are the only company that has crafted recipes for many special dietary needs and requirements.

All of our meals are customizable as per your pet’s needs, such as breed, size, age or allergies. Each balanced dinner is complete to NRC standards.

There are 2 ways of switching to our raw food recipes.

1. Fasting method: only for healthy dogs already on Raw. In this method feed your dog a regular meal in the morning and then fast the dogs that evening and next day morning. Start Raw that evening.
2. For new Raw eaters & sensitive dogs gradually start adding our raw recipe to their meals while increasing the amount of our recipe and reducing the amount of kibble on a daily basis.  A good rule of thumb is to add 10% of our raw and then remove 10% of kibble in 10 days your fur baby will be totally transferred to our Raw Recipe. 

We recommend feeding raw 6 days per week with 1 day being a ‘reset’ day where your FoeGuard should receive a treat/meal replacement instead of a meal.

At FoeGuard we believe in creating accessibility for all pet owners. This is why we offer a variety of dinners that are already nutritionally balanced so our FoeGuardians don’t have to worry about supplementation or day to day feeding. We also provide full personalization & protein based Primal Feast meals where customers can add their own supplementation.

Defrost: Overnight in the fridge or in room temperature water until raw meat is fully defrosted.  
Store: Our raw recipes should be stored in the freezer & can be kept in the fridge up to 4 days after defrosting. Colors of our recipes may change slightly however that is due to oxidization and will not have any negative effects on your FoeGuard.
Handle: Always wash your hands with warm soapy water prior to and after handling any raw meat.

We highly recommend you do not cook your food. However, you can scald it with hot water. 

Not only can your puppies eat raw, but they thrive on it! Raw food is great for puppies, adults & seniors. However, puppies require certain nutrients to enable healthy growth as well as specially grounded recipes to ensure they are easily digested. We carry a variety of puppy recipes for every protein to ensure your mini FoeGuardian gets the right nutrition.

We don’t recommended doing so as your pets digest raw very differently than kibble. If you do decide to mix, please try to feed 2 separate meals at different times of the day.
