The Raw Dog Diet Formulator is an essential tool for DIY raw dog feeders who want to build balanced, customized recipes and menus for their pets. Raw feeding and canine nutrition can be complex, especially when it comes to ensuring your dog receives all the essential nutrients required for optimal health and longevity. Many pet owners worry about nutrient deficiencies or imbalances when preparing a raw dog food diet at home, and with good reason, and research shows that even many commercial raw dog foods may not be fully balanced as fed, sometimes falling short in key vitamins and minerals.
Raw Cube's Raw Dog Diet Formulator | Menu Builder is designed to take the guesswork out of raw dog feeding. It allows you to select from a wide range of ingredients from muscle meats, bones, organs, vegetables, and supplements - so you can create recipes tailored to your dog’s unique needs, preferences, and life stage. As you build your raw dog food menu, the formulator provides real-time feedback on macronutrient and micronutrient content, including protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. This feature helps you see exactly where your dog’s diet excels and where it may fall short, empowering you to make adjustments before you even start meal prep.
One of the most valuable aspects of the Raw Dog Diet Formulator is its ability to highlight potential nutritional gaps. For example, you’ll see if your recipe is low in critical nutrients like manganese, magnesium, vitamin D, or taurine; nutrients that are commonly deficient in both homemade and commercial raw dog food diets. The platform draws on trusted data sources, such as the USDA nutrient database and recognized canine nutrition standards (NRC), to ensure your recipes are backed by science and best practices
If your raw dog food recipe is lacking in a particular nutrient, the formulator will suggest ingredient options that can help fill the gap. This dynamic, feedback-driven approach makes it much easier to achieve a truly balanced raw dog food diet, something that’s difficult to do by intuition alone.
For pet owners who are new to raw dog feeding, our formulator provides educational support and practical guidance every step of the way. The user-friendly interface, ingredient database, and nutrient tracking features make it accessible even for beginners. For experienced raw feeders, the tool offers advanced customization, ingredient substitution, and the ability to save and compare multiple recipes.
