Handling raw food safely at home
Raw food asks for the same simple habits as raw meat in your own kitchen.

Feeding raw doesn’t need special equipment. It needs the same habits you already use when you cook with raw meat.
Store it properly
Keep the bag sealed between meals and follow the storage directions printed on it.
Wash up after serving
Wash your hands, your dog’s bowl, and any spoon, scale or surface the food touched with hot, soapy water.
Don’t leave it sitting out
If your dog walks away from their bowl, pick it up after about 20 minutes rather than leaving it out all day.
Take extra care at home
If you have very young children, older relatives or anyone with a weak immune system in the house, be especially careful with cleaning. Ask your vet whether raw feeding suits your dog if they’re very young, elderly or unwell.
