PERFECT DOG FOOD MIX -
Any Questions?
How does this DIY mix work?
To make homemade dog food, simply combine 8 lbs of ground meat with 1 bag of Perfect Dog Food Mix. You can optionally add 8 eggs. Mix all ingredients together in 2 casserole dishes. Then, place casserole dishes in the oven at 250° F until cooked. Once cooked, divide the dog food into 3-day portions so it can easily be stored in and removed from the freezer. The portion of dog food you keep in the refrigerator will last 3-4 days.
What proteins can I combine with PDFM?
Perfect Dog Food Mix works with turkey, beef, chicken, lamb, pork, bison and elk. Simply combine 8 lbs of any of those ground meats with 1 bag of Perfect Dog Food Mix. While we recommend keeping it simple, we also offer a collection of chef-created recipes for picky eaters available at yumwoof.com/recipes.
I make my dog's food, are they getting proper nutrition?
Cooking for your dog can offer many benefits, including diet management, improved metabolism and lower rates of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. However, the most common mistake pet parents make with homemade recipes is that they are nutritionally incomplete—lacking essential vitamins and minerals your dog needs to stay healthy. There are several key factors that may indicate insufficient nutrients in your dog’s current food. The most common are bad breath, skin issues, lack of energy, body odor and excessive fur loss. Perfect Dog Food Mix takes out all the guesswork ensuring your dog has proper nutrition
How can I make the Grain-Free Perfect Dog Food Mix grain-inclusive?
Easy! Want grains in your pup’s meal? Just toss in some oats when mixing the Grain-Free formula with your usual protein (chicken, beef, whatever your dog loves). Boom—grain-inclusive goodness.
Can I serve it raw?
Yes. Add extra 1 Tbsp of water to recipe seen on bag and serve to your dog raw. Although PDFM recipes can be served raw, we suggest our baking method for optimal health. Raw ground meat is exposed to different bacteria than fresh raw meat in the wild. Did you know cooked meat has higher digestibility than raw?
Can I microwave instead of baking?
Yes. Cook a single meal portion in the microwave for 2½ minutes. Your dog will receive the same amount of vitamins and minerals as our baking method.
Why is a low carb diet beneficial for my dog?
Carbohydrates are chains of sugar molecules used by your dog’s body for energy. When too many carbs are consumed in a single meal, their body cannot utilize them all, and an excess of insulin is produced storing the remainder as fat. Over time, their body can become insulin resistant, causing diabetes. A low carb diet prevents this cycle and is in line with a canine’s ancestral diet of 54% protein, 45% fat and 1% carbs. While dogs can safely consume more carbs than this, we recommend limiting carbohydrates to 25% of their diet.
Where is your food sourced and made?
Perfect Dog Food Mix is proudly made in the USA. All of our ingredients are human grade and sourced in the USA as well. You won’t find any fillers, soy, gluten, wheat, rice, peas, lentils, legumes or potatoes in our food.
Do you test your food for quality and safety?
Yumwoof sends each batch we produce to a licensed third party food lab that performs testing on yeast, mold and bacteria levels. We always confirm our food will remain fresh for the entirety of its shelf life, leaving dogs with a fresh healthy meal, everytime!
