Questions about the raw meat diet: Call us in Portland, Oregon – 503.245.2853

Add in the toxins from “routine” vaccines, water and the environment and it’s no wonder that dogs are dying of cancer, suffering from allergies and people are spending lots of money on vet bills and medication.

Commercial pet food has only been around for a few decades – think about that for a minute. What did dogs eat before Purina came about? Meat and scraps.

• The key to transitioning your dog to the raw diet is to start slow. Their first raw meal should be 3/4 what they normally eat and 1/4 raw meat. You can slowly work your way from there. If you do notice they have a belly ache, pick up some digestive enzymes at your grocery store and give them a pill with each meal until the bottle is finished. By that time they should be fine with eating raw.

• It’s hard to estimate how much raw meat your pet will actually eat. It all depends on their age, breed, activity level and metabolism. What we can tell you is that Satchel, our 6 year old, mellow, 85 pound Ridgeback gets 3 meals out of 2 pounds of meat (plus veggies). That’s the same amount that our 45 pound, high energy, mystery hound Maji eats.

• The great thing about the raw meat diet (well, one of the great things about the raw meat diet) is that you will be able to tell very quickly if you are feeding your pet too much or too little of the raw meat. They gain and loose very fast, unlike the slow build up of weight with kibble.

• What about freezing and thawing? Well, if yo have a bigger dog we recommend thawing the tube of meat until you can cut it then keep the rest in the fridge until it’s gone. If you have smaller dogs or cats you can thaw until it’s cutable, then slice up meal sized servings and re-freeze.

• And the mess? If you have a special space you can set aside for meat preparing, that’s easiest. A laundry, garage, etc works great. That’s not a required part of the feeding the raw meat diet, it just helps. What also helps is if you can set aside a knife and fork and cutting board that is used just for the raw meat. This is particularly helpful if you don’t have a dishwasher to clean everything up.

• Any more questions? Just ask us at Moe’s Meats.

Moe’s Meats sells raw meat meat meat for your dog and cat. if you haven’t stopped by to pick up an order yet, what are you waiting for? i mean, i offer the best raw meat deals in Portland. but for that, i’ll allow my lovely manager of sales, meat woman, to speak to that.

Hi Raw Meat Buyers,

Meat Woman here. Yes, Satchel is correct – Moe’s Meats does offer the best prices on raw, natural meat for your pet because we don’t have very much overhead (aside from my hige salary of course). We are an LLC operating out of our home. And that means we can offer great prices for our raw meat buyers.

We’ll also accept cash or check from your car. So no shopping time required. It’s the equivalent of fast food for your dogs, except it’s actually good for them.

Satchel has asked that I post the following message:

Moe’s Meats sells local, antibiotic and hormone free meats, that are USDA inspected (though not for human consumption b/c the ground meat does contain bone). We sell Columbia River Valley meats because we found them to be of the highest quality that is also the most affordable.

Our ground meat is sold in tubes called chubs that equal 2 pounds of meat. If you own dogs, all dogs should also be getting ground veggies with every meal. We sell meat that comes with veggies (80% meat & 20% veggies) and we sell 1.5 pound veggie packs that allow you to control the amount of veggies you add to their meal.
