Rated & compared
Raw dog food for puppy food
Raw feeding is the most polarising corner of the category, and also one of the highest scoring: recipes tend to be short, the meat content is high, and there is very little room to hide a filler. For puppies, the question is whether the recipe is built for the job.

Puppies are building a body, so they need more energy, more protein and a controlled calcium-to-phosphorus balance than an adult dog does. Large-breed puppies in particular should not grow too fast, which is why growth-specific recipes exist. The things worth checking are whether the recipe is complete or complementary, whether the meat is named by species, and how the product is meant to be stored and handled. Complete raw meals are formulated to meet full nutritional needs; a plain minced block often is not.
Puppies need a food labelled for growth or for all life stages, not an adult maintenance recipe. Every food below is filtered to raw dog food suitable for puppies, and scored out of 100 on its label alone, with the full breakdown on each food page so you can see exactly where its points went.
Raw dog food for puppy food FAQs
What is the best raw dog food for puppies?
The one whose label holds up. Our list ranks every raw dog food suitable for puppies by the ODF Score, which reads the ingredients rather than the marketing. Puppies need a food labelled for growth or for all life stages, not an adult maintenance recipe.
Is raw food safe for puppy dogs?
Raw feeding needs careful handling and storage whatever the age of the dog, and complete recipes should be used rather than plain mince if it is the whole diet. Puppies need a food labelled for growth or for all life stages, not an adult maintenance recipe. This is label analysis, not veterinary advice. If your dog has a health condition, talk to your vet before switching foods.
How long should a dog stay on puppy food?
Most dogs move to adult food somewhere between nine and eighteen months, later for large and giant breeds because they keep growing for longer. Your vet or the feeding guide on the pack is the better guide than a fixed number.
