Raw Feeding

Raw Feeding

Is The Lifestyle!

In Our Danes Bowls

We feed all our dogs including the puppies a species appropriate raw diet.

This is a prey model, which includes Meat, Muscle, Organs, Tripe, and Bones.

We do add a few different toppers as you can see below.

This items will always follow the prey model.

We do NOT add in synthetic vitamins or minerals.


We begin every puppy on the same species appropriate raw diet we feed our own dogs, setting a strong foundation for lifelong health. Every new puppy family receives our Feed Primal step by step course so you feel fully prepared and confident before your puppy comes home. This education is part of the experience, not an add on. We intentionally place our puppies with families who are committed to continuing this lifestyle because consistency protects their health, supports their development, and honors the way they are designed to thrive.

Why Raw? Because Kibble is a Death Sentence for Danes

According to Jeannie Thomason, VND, “Proper species-specific nutrition is vital to the whole dog, mind, body, and spirit. Proper nutrition is the most critical element in natural rearing and the foundation to having and producing optimally healthy dogs.” We fully agree.

Danes were built to eat raw meat and bones. Their bodies demand it. Pump them full of processed kibble, and you’re playing Russian roulette with their health, setting them up for gut issues, inflammation, and worst of all, bloat. But fuel them with real food, and they thrive. The benefits speak for themselves:

  • Stronger digestion – Raw feeding builds a resilient gut, stopping bloating, gas, and digestive distress in its tracks.

  • Better weight control – Keeps Danes in peak condition, preventing obesity and muscle loss.

  • Ironclad immune system – A nourished body fights back against disease, bacteria, and viruses before they ever take hold.

  • Healthier skin and coat – No more constant scratching, hot spots, or dull fur, just sleek, strong, and resilient.

  • Cleaner teeth, fresher breath – Raw meaty bones scrape away plaque like nature’s toothbrush, keeping mouths disease-free.

  • Stronger bones and joints – Danes need serious skeletal support, naturally sourced calcium and phosphorus deliver exactly that.

  • Denser muscle structure – High-protein meals fuel strength, endurance, and stamina.

  • Smaller, firmer stools – More nutrients absorbed, less waste dumped, that’s how digestion should work.

  • Fewer allergies – Eliminate fillers, grains, and synthetic garbage, and watch chronic itching and food sensitivities vanish.

  • More energy, sharper focus – A raw-fed Dane doesn’t just exist, they thrive.

Kibble: The #1 Risk Factor for Bloat in Danes

Bloat kills fast, and kibble is one of the biggest triggers.

Here’s why:

  • Kibble Swells in the Stomach – When dry kibble hits the stomach, it expands as it soaks up moisture. This stretches the stomach and creates pressure, increasing the risk of torsion (twisting).

  • Carbs Cause Gas & Fermentation – Kibble is packed with starches and fillers, ingredients that ferment in the gut, creating gas buildup. More gas = more stomach expansion = higher risk of deadly bloat.

  • Slows Digestion – Unlike raw meat, which moves through the digestive system efficiently, kibble sits in the gut, forcing the stomach to work overtime. That delayed emptying creates the perfect storm for bloat.

  • Dehydrates the Body – Danes on kibble always need more water because their food is bone-dry. When they gulp down water to compensate, it weighs down and distends the stomach, adding to the bloat risk.

  • Triggers Excessive Air Swallowing – The unnatural texture of kibble forces Danes to gulp their food, sucking in extra air that can lead to dangerous stomach expansion.

Once you understand how commercial pet food is made, you begin to

see why so many of our gentle giants are struggling, and you choose to do better.

Once you see the truth you can't unsee it.

When you commit to feeding your Great Dane a species appropriate raw diet, you witness a different dog emerge.

You will be forever grateful you decided to do better.
