    Raw feeding three dogs with different needs

    This is a specific conversation about Raw dog food — what to know before you start — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

    Three dogs, three completely different builds and metabolisms — that's a proper raw feeding challenge, and getting the portions right is where most multi-dog households come unstuck. Raw feeding done well can be excellent, but done badly it creates nutritional gaps that cause real harm over time, and the difference is balance and sourcing. Before I point you in the right direction: have you fed any of them raw before, or is this a fresh start for all three? And are you looking for a complete ready-made product, or are you planning to build the meals yourself?
    Fresh start for all three. I want something ready-made and complete — I don't have time to DIY it. The Greyhound is lean and tall, the Staffie is prone to weight gain, and the Beagle honestly would eat himself into a coma if I let him. Rough weights: Greyhound 30kg, Staffie 18kg, Beagle 12kg.

    That's a really helpful picture — and honestly your biggest risk with that trio isn't the Greyhound, it's the Staffie and the Beagle. Both breeds have a tendency to carry too much weight, and raw food is calorie-dense, so portion discipline matters more than it does on kibble. Can I ask: are all three currently healthy with no joint issues, digestive sensitivities, or vet-flagged concerns? That'll help me confirm whether a standard complete raw is the right fit or whether one of them needs something more tailored.
    All healthy. The Beagle had a sensitive stomach a couple of years ago but he's been fine since. No joint problems, no allergies flagged.

    Perfect — in that case I'd point you straight to Natures Menu Country Hunter Raw Nuggets. They come in a resealable bag of frozen nuggets, each nugget is roughly 20g, and that makes portion control genuinely precise across three very different dogs. For your Greyhound at 30kg you're looking at around 600g a day — he's lean-built so you want to maintain that without underfeeding. Your Staffie at 18kg should get closer to 270-300g rather than the full 2% bodyweight calculation, because Staffies will happily convert every extra calorie to fat. And your Beagle at 12kg needs no more than 200-220g — measure it, don't eyeball it. Country Hunter is nutritionally complete, it includes added veg and botanicals, and the nugget format means you're not wrestling with frozen blocks or guessing half-portions. It's one of the most practical formats for exactly your situation.

    That sounds ideal. Are there different protein flavours, and do I need to rotate them or just pick one?
    inparticular.ai
    Yes — Country Hunter comes in several proteins including duck, turkey, rabbit, venison and wild boar. You don't have to rotate, but it's genuinely worth doing every few weeks, for two reasons. First, it reduces the chance of any single protein intolerance developing over time — especially relevant given your Beagle's history. Second, different proteins have slightly different micronutrient profiles, so rotating across two or three gives you broader coverage without any extra prep work. Start all three dogs on one protein for the first two to three weeks while their guts adjust to raw, then introduce a second. Switch gradually over a few days rather than overnight and you'll avoid any loose stools during the transition.
    Really helpful, thank you. One last thing — how do I store it practically with three dogs going through different amounts each day?
    inparticular.ai
    The easiest system: keep one bag in the fridge thawing at any time — the nuggets thaw loose from each other, so you can pull out exactly what each dog needs, weigh it, and put the rest straight back. A full bag lasts the average dog a few days, but with three dogs you'll likely go through a bag every four to five days depending on the protein. Buy two or three bags at a time and rotate stock in the freezer. One digital kitchen scale near the food prep area is worth its weight in gold — it takes about 30 seconds per dog and removes all the guesswork, especially with the Staffie and Beagle where overfeeding will creep up on you before you notice it visually.

    Your situation is probably different. Get a specific answer for yours.
