My dog only eats raw meat, won't touch kibble. Is her diet balanced?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed

I’ve been feeding my dog a certain food since she was a puppy and raw meat and my cousin watched her for 2 months while I was away and now she won’t eat the dry food.. only the raw meat it’s.

Unless the raw meat is a formulated raw food diet, then the raw meat alone is not a balanced diet. There are a number of raw food diets that are formulated to be complete diets, so if that is all Ma wants to eat right now, you could look into feeding her one of those for now. There are also some freeze dried raw formulations that might be a good option. Stella & Chewy's ( https://www.stellaandchewys.com ) makes both formulations, that might be something to look into. Good luck! Thanks for using PetCoach.
