Thinking about feeding your dog a raw diet but not sure where to start? This is the guide I wish someone had handed me when I began.

I'm Madison — certified dog trainer and the owner of Madison Dog Pack. I've fed my own dogs a fresh, raw diet for the past five years, and I made plenty of mistakes along the way. This guide is everything I learned, laid out simply and honestly, so you can skip the overwhelm and feed with confidence from day one.

Inside this 23-page guide:

• What raw feeding really is — and how it differs from home cooking

• The honest truth: benefits, real risks, bacterial safety, and where vets actually stand

• BARF vs. Prey Model explained simply — and how to choose

• A dead-simple formula to calculate exactly how much to feed your dog, by weight and life stage

• A complete dog-safe foods reference — proteins, organs, bones, fruits, veggies, and add-ins

• A full toxic foods list of what to never feed

• A step-by-step transition plan (the exact order I introduce meat, bone, and organ)

• How to build a balanced bowl from scratch — with real examples and a weekly rotation

• The trusted vets, books, brands, and tools I personally use

Whether you're raw-curious or ready to make the switch, you'll walk away with a clear, confident plan for feeding your dog real, whole-food nutrition.

This guide is educational and reflects real-world experience — it is not veterinary advice. Always consult your vet before changing your dog's diet, especially for puppies, seniors, or dogs with health conditions.
