What makes Wolfworthy such a great alternative to raw feeding?

We often get asked, "What makes your food a good alternative to raw?"

Raw feeders typically seek a diet rich in meat with some fruits and vegetables. Wolfworthy meets these needs by offering a diet with high amounts of freshly prepared meat, including nutrient-rich organ meats, complemented by a selection of fruits and vegetables. Our recipe is free from fillers like grains or legumes, and we cook at low temperatures to preserve maximum nutritional value. This makes Wolfworthy a great alternative to raw feeding, providing similar benefits in a convenient form.

High-Quality Ingredients

At Wolfworthy, we prioritise high-quality ingredients to provide the best nutrition for your dog. We use only the finest ingredients, staying true to the raw feeding philosophy of biologically appropriate nutrition. By incorporating high amounts of meat and fish, including nutrient-rich organ meats, Wolfworthy is rich in protein. High-protein diets offer numerous benefits for dogs, including:

  • Muscle Maintenance and Growth: Proteins are the building blocks of muscles, essential for active dogs, working dogs, and puppies.
  • Sustained Energy: High-protein diets provide lasting energy, keeping dogs lively and playful throughout the day.
  • Healthy Skin and Coat: Proteins support the production of keratin, promoting a shiny coat and healthy skin.
  • Robust Immune System: Proteins aid in the production of antibodies, helping dogs fight off infections more effectively.

Highly Nutritious Organ Meat

  • Beef Heart: Rich in taurine, which supports heart health and eye function, and CoQ10, which boosts energy production and heart health.
  • Beef Liver: Provides Vitamin A to enhance vision and immune function, B vitamins to support energy metabolism, and iron and copper to aid in red blood cell production.
  • Beef Kidneys: Offer Vitamins A and E to strengthen the immune system, omega-3 fatty acids to promote heart health, and detoxifying enzymes to aid in toxin removal.

Balanced Nutrition with Fruits and Vegetables

Since dogs are omnivores, our recipe includes 20% fruits and vegetables, making Wolfworthy a complete food that meets all your dog's nutritional needs. The fruits and vegetables we include offer numerous health benefits:

  • Improved Digestion: Rich in fibre to support healthy digestion and regular bowel movements.
  • Vision and Immune Support: High in vitamins like beta-carotene and Vitamin A.
  • Strong Bones: Packed with Vitamins C and K.
  • Iron and Mineral Rich: Essential for red blood cell production and overall vitality.
  • Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Properties: Promote urinary tract health and support a robust immune system.

Anything else I need to know?

  • Chelated Vitamins: We include chelated vitamins in our food, which are more easily absorbed by the body, ensuring your dog gets the most out of their nutrition.
  • Joint Support: Our food is already classed as a complete food, but we didn’t stop there! We also include glucosamine and chondroitin to help maintain strong and healthy joints. In addition to the naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin in our raw ingredients, we supplement an additional 180mg/kg of glucosamine and 125mg/kg of chondroitin.
  • No Fillers: Wolfworthy is free from fillers such as grains and legumes, ensuring that your dog receives only the most nutritious and beneficial ingredients.
  • No Artificial Additives: We do not add any artificial additives, colours, or flavours to our food. To see a full list of our ingredients, please click here.

      How Do We Help Preserve Nutrients During Cooking?

      At Wolfworthy, "freshly prepared" means using the finest human-grade quality meat and fish ingredients, delivered to our site chilled via our own refrigerated transport to ensure top-notch quality. In our on-site meat kitchen, we gently cook each meat at approximately 82ºC (180ºF). This temperature is optimal for eliminating harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E-coli, and Campylobacter, while preserving the natural goodness, ensuring maximum digestibility and nutritional value for your dog.

      We are proud to produce our food in the UK, adhering to the highest production standards. By manufacturing locally, we ensure exceptional quality and reduce transportation, making our process more eco-friendly and better for the planet.

      Notably, Wolfworthy is one of the highest-rated dry foods produced in the UK, according to www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What About Bone? While Wolfworthy does not include added bone, the meat and fish in our recipe naturally contain bone, providing a calcium content of 1.3%. We chose not to introduce any artificial ingredients to boost the calcium content. By avoiding artificial additives, we ensure that your dog receives calcium in its most natural and beneficial form. This approach to nutrition helps maintain a well-rounded diet that supports your dog's overall health and vitality, making Wolfworthy an exceptional alternative to raw feeding.

      Why Is It Brown? The dark brown colour of our kibble comes from its high meat content, particularly the organ meats, giving it a richer colour compared to other dog foods that have lower meat quantities. This natural colouring highlights the quality ingredients we use in our recipe.

      Why Is the Feeding Amount So Much Less Than Raw Feeding? Wolfworthy is exceptionally nutrient-dense and contains everything your dog needs for a healthy and long life. The feeding amount is smaller compared to raw foods because raw foods contain a lot of water (for example, a fresh chicken breast is approximately 75% water), whereas Wolfworthy is only 8% water.
