Debunking the 5 Biggest Myths About Raw Feeding

Raw feeding has grown in popularity over the past decade — but it’s also surrounded by a lot of misinformation. From safety concerns to nutritional myths, it’s easy to see why some pet parents hesitate to make the switch.

At Bone & Harvest, we believe in raw done right: balanced, safe, and science-backed. Let’s clear up the five biggest myths about raw feeding once and for all.

Myth #1: “Raw Food Isn’t Safe for Dogs”

Truth: When prepared and handled properly, raw food is completely safe.
Dogs are built to digest raw meat efficiently — their stomach acid is highly acidic, and food passes quickly through their system.

At Bone & Harvest, we take safety further:

• Every batch is prepared in a clean, sanitized facility
• Meals are flash-frozen to preserve freshness and minimize bacteria
• We routinely test for Salmonella and E. coli

Myth #2: “Dogs Need Carbs from Kibble”

Truth: Dogs don’t need carbs — they need nutrients.
Protein and fat provide the essential energy dogs thrive on. Carbohydrates in kibble mainly act as cheap fillers to bind pellets together.

Our meals contain whole proteins, organs, bone, and a natural vitamins for true nutritional balance — no grains or artificial fillers, ever.

Myth #3: “Raw Diets Aren’t Balanced”

Truth: Not all raw diets are equal — but Bone & Harvest meals are balanced by design.
We use the right ratio of muscle meat, organ, and ground bone, plus natural sources of vitamins and minerals like kelp, flaxseed, and nutritional yeast.

Each pack provides complete nutrition — no guesswork, no DIY mixing required.

Myth #4: “Raw Feeding Is Too Complicated”

Truth: It’s actually easier than you think.
With portioned 1-lb flats, all you do is thaw, serve, and store. No measuring, no prep, no stress.

Raw feeding should fit real life — and we’ve made sure it does.

Myth #5: “Raw Feeding Is Just a Trend”

Truth: Raw feeding goes back to a dog’s natural roots.
Long before kibble existed, dogs thrived on raw diets made of meat, organs, and bones. It’s not a trend — it’s a return to nature.

Our mission is to make that return simple, safe, and accessible for modern pet parents.
