BARF vs PMR: Which Raw Diet Is Right for Your Dog?
The two most popular raw feeding models in the UK each have their own philosophy. Here’s how they compare — and our raw dog food calculator supports both.
PMR Diet
Prey Model Raw
PMR aims to replicate a whole prey animal. No plant matter is included. Popular among UK raw feeders who believe dogs are strict carnivores.
BARF Diet
Biologically Appropriate Raw Food
Developed by Dr. Ian Billinghurst, BARF includes blended fruit and vegetables for fibre, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.
Why Switch to Raw Dog Food in the UK?
Thousands of UK dog owners are switching to raw feeding for these proven benefits.
Healthier Coat & Skin
Rich in natural Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, a raw diet quickly leads to a softer, shinier coat and reduces dry, itchy, or flaky skin conditions.
Cleaner Teeth & Breath
Chewing raw meaty bones naturally scrapes plaque and tartar off teeth, resulting in healthier gums and significantly fresher breath.
Better Digestion & Smaller Stools
Raw food contains zero fillers, so dogs absorb more nutrients. This means smaller, firmer stools — a sign of improved gut health.
More Energy & Vitality
Dogs on raw diets often show increased energy levels, better stamina during walks, and improved overall vitality.
Reduced Allergies
Many UK dogs suffer allergies from grains and additives in kibble. Switching to raw often eliminates these triggers, reducing itching and ear infections.
Healthy Weight Management
With precise portion control from our calculator and no hidden carbs or sugars, maintaining your dog’s ideal weight becomes much easier.
How to Transition to Raw Dog Food
A slow 7-day phase-in is recommended for most dogs.
25% Raw / 75% Old
Start by replacing a quarter of their kibble with a single-protein raw meat (chicken or turkey works best).
50% Raw / 50% Old
Mix half and half. Monitor stools — if loose, stay at this stage for an extra day before progressing.
75% Raw / 25% Old
Almost there. The stomach pH is lowering, making it easier for them to digest raw bone and muscle meat.
100% Raw Diet
Fully transitioned! After a week, start introducing a second protein source for variety.

Everything you need to know about using our raw dog food calculator and raw feeding in the UK.
As a general rule in the UK, an adult dog should eat between 2% and 3% of their ideal body weight per day in raw food. Highly active working dogs may need up to 4%, while overweight or senior dogs might only need 2%.
Puppies need more food relative to their weight to support growth. At 8 weeks (2-4 months), feed around 8% of their current body weight daily. This gradually decreases: 6% at 4-6 months, 4% at 6-9 months, and 3% at 9-12 months.
PMR follows an 80/10/5/5 ratio with no plant matter. BARF uses a 70/10/5/5/10 ratio that includes 10% fruit and vegetables. Both are widely used in the UK raw feeding community.
While controversial, many modern vets agree that mixing is fine during the transition period. For long-term feeding it’s generally best not to mix them in the same meal as they digest at different rates.
Yes, when prepared and handled correctly. Dogs have highly acidic stomachs designed to handle raw meat and bone safely. Follow the same food hygiene practices you would with human meat.
Raw dog food typically costs between £3 and £5 per kilogram. For a medium-sized dog (15kg), expect to spend roughly £30-£55 per month. Our calculator includes a built-in cost estimator.
Popular UK suppliers include Nutriment, Paleo Ridge, Bella & Duke, and Durham Animal Feeds. You can also source ingredients from local butchers or farm shops.
