We Feed Raw Pros And Cons

Last Updated on April 28, 2025 by Kieran Beckles

Are you considering switching your dog to a raw diet, and are you eyeing We Feed Raw as a potential option?

We decided to switch from dry dog food to fresh pet food to provide our Alaskan Klee Kai with human-grade dog food while we were still living in England.

However, we had to find a new pet food company when we returned to the USA in 2023 because our Alaskan Klee Kai’s favorite dog food brand didn’t operate stateside.

We tested a number of fresh dog food companies, but we found Copper and Skye didn’t particularly enjoy these options in the USA, so we decided to give a raw dog food company a try even though we weren’t overly familiar with the pet food format.

After some trial and error testing a number of raw food companies, we settled on We Feed Raw dog food.

In this article, we’re going to share our thoughts on We Feed Raw, give our pros and cons, explain how their raw food diet works and give our overall verdict on whether they offer the best raw dog food service in the USA.

Pros

Picky Eater Approved

I was stunned by my Alaskan Klee Kai’s incredible transformation when it came to my fussy eater Skye. While she is usually picky with her dog food, whether it’s raw, dry, fresh, or wet dog food, she loves We Feed Raw.

I’d never seen Skye show so much mealtime excitement before introducing We Feed Raw meals to her. She would come over whenever I went near the freezer, hoping to see We Feed Raw appear from the drawer. At mealtime, she’d run rings around me in excitement for her raw diet.

Copper is food motivated, so I wasn’t surprised to see him wolf down his We Feed Raw meals. But Skye’s eating habits transformed after we switched her to We Feed Raw – she finished all her meals, licked her bowl clean and showed genuine mealtime excitement.

Human Grade Ingredients

Whenever we consider feeding new dog food to our Alaskan Klee Kai, we always check to see whether the brand is using human-grade raw meat, real ingredients that we’d eat as part of our diet and don’t use any additives, fillers, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.

We Feed Raw only uses real ingredients such as USDA, human-grade meats – grass-fed lamb, organ meat, muscle meat, beef liver, beef necks, chicken leg quarters, beef kidney, turkey tails and more. We Feed Raw uses transparent labels so you can see the ingredients in our recipes.

As dog owners, we felt confident knowing that Copper and Skye were eating a raw diet comprised of human-grade meat with all the essential vitamins required for a balanced and complete diet, which I’m sure played a significant role in Skye’s enthusiasm for eating. We Feed Raw dog food on a daily basis.

Customized Meal Plan

If you’re signing up to We Feed Raw or any dog food delivery company, you want to receive customized meal plans to ensure your dog is eating a diet tailored to meet their specific requirements, whether you’re concerned about your dog’s health or your dog’s weight.

We Feed Raw offers tailored meal plans and requires pet parents to complete their sign-up questionnaire where you’ll be required to fill out details about your dog’s age, dog’s breed, dog’s weight, dog’s food at the current time and disclose any allergies or health issues they should know about.

Once you have provided We Feed Raw with key details about your pet, We Feed Raw will create a custom raw subscription plan tailored to your pet’s needs. We Feed Raw will provide feeding instructions to help pet owners make a smooth transition and ensure your dog is eating the right amount on a daily basis.

Formulated by PhD Animal Nutritionist

Most dog owners will want to see that their dog is eating raw food formulated by experts. We Feed Raw uses a top animal nutritionist to ensure your furry friend is eating a balanced and complete diet.

We Feed Raw explained on their website that We Feed Raw meets or exceeds the AAFCO nutrition standards, which made us feel confident that Copper and Skye were the healthiest diet.

We Feed Raw food is created at their USDA-certified facility before we receive free cold shipping to ensure Copper and Skye’s raw diets arrive frozen and ready to be stored in the freezer.

Recipe Range

As someone with a picky eater, I appreciate the variety of meals available to cater to fussy dogs like Skye. However, I’ve noticed that US brands tend to have smaller recipe variety than their UK counterparts.

This wasn’t the case with We Feed Raw who offer one of the broadest ranges of all the dog foods we’ve reviewed for our Life With Klee Kai community. We Feed Raw’s recipes include beef recipe, chicken recipe, duck recipe, lamb recipe, turkey recipe and venison recipes.

With six different proteins on offer, I was able to vary Skye’s recipes to make feeding raw exciting. While she loved We Feed Raw, I believe their impressive menu helped to keep my Klee Kai happy, while also yielding over benefits such as healthier skin alongside other health benefits.

Perfect For Slow Feeders

Copper is a fast eater, and we try to slow our food-motivated Alaskan Klee Kai down by using slow feeders. This can be difficult with fresh dog food or dry food. It was easy with We Feed Raw food.

Raw feeding allowed us to spread We Feed Raw’s recipes across the slow feeder, which meant Copper and Skye spent a lot longer eating their daily meals, unlike some other dog foods we tried.

Competitively Priced

Having reviewed numerous dog food companies over the past seven years, We Feed Raw is competitively priced when compared to some of the leading fresh dog food brands. Raw feeding has a reputation for being expensive, but I didn’t find this to be the case with We Feed Raw.

Once I signed up Copper and Skye to We Feed Raw, I had to pay $171.72 a month for their We Feed Raw diets. To break it down, that’s $6.13 a day or $42.93 a week. Compared to most fresh or raw dog food brands, this is good value.

I found Sundays For Dogs and The Farmer’s Dog to be the only brands less expensive than We Feed Raw.

Freeze-dried option

My wife and I discovered that Copper and Skye enjoy different textures in their dog food, so we decided to feed We Feed Raw in combination with an air-dried dog food, Sunday For Dogs.

However, We Feed Raw introduced a freeze-dried range at the start of 2025 to cater to dog owners who prefer to feed dry dog food rather than raw dog food, or perhaps a combination of both.

While there isn’t a significant price difference between their raw range and freeze-dried food, some pet owners may prefer the convenience of dry food. They offer two recipes in the freeze-dried format: beef and chicken.

Cons

Premium Price

If you’re accustomed to feeding regular dog food that’s bought at the local pet store or supermarket, you may get a shock when you see your We Feed Raw price.

While I consider We Feed Raw to be excellent value, there’s no doubt it will cost more than your regular dog food. The regular pet food norm can lack some of the proper nutrients due to high-pressure processing.

You’re paying more for custom recipes for your own pets in spite of the different life stages they may be at, balanced and complete to promote your pet’s health and meet food safety standards.

Freezer Space

We Feed Raw’s customers get free cold shipping, but you’ll need ample freezer space to store your frozen raw food once it arrives at your home. We Feed Raw uses meal packets that are square in shape, which makes them stackable in your freezer.

However, if you’re not accustomed to feeding raw, it can take some time to adjust to storing We Feed Raw’s meals in your freezer. Alternatively, it may be a problem if you have a small freezer or don’t have a spare freezer in the garage.

You could opt for the freeze-dried food if you want to store your dog food in the cupboard rather than freeing up fridge or freezer space.

No Custom Scooper

If you’re still reading my We Feed Raw dog food review, you can probably tell I really rate their service.

However, I’d love to see We Feed Raw add a pre-portioned element to their service, whether it’s a custom scooper or display pre-portion guidelines on We Feed Raw’s meal pouches.

While We Feed Raw do provide feeding guidelines, it would make life even easier for dog owners.

We Feed Raw: Our Verdict

Now we’ve gone through my pros and cons, and it’s time to conclude my We Feed Raw dog food review by providing our verdict on their raw dog food service.

Of all the dog food brands that we’ve tested on Copper and Skye since we returned to California, we’ve had the best success with We Feed Raw.

While we were unfamiliar with raw feeding until the past six months, We Feed Raw makes it easy to introduce a raw diet to your dog.

If you’re a dog owner whose been hesitant to feed raw, I believe We Feed Raw could be a convenient and hassle-free way to try a diet nature intended for dogs.

We Feed Raw offers a great range of recipes made from USDA-standard ingredients such as organ meats with a high nutritional value and tailor their raw food for all life stages.

Skye and Copper loved We Feed Raw recipes, especially beef, chicken, lamb and venison. I found they enjoyed it but weren’t as excited about the duck recipe and the turkey recipe.

We continue to pay for We Feed Raw meals, which is the best review we can give of We Feed Raw!

Wrapping Up

We’ve reached the end of our article on We Feed Raw and the pros and cons of their raw dog food.

We Feed Raw makes great raw recipes to cater to dogs of all life stages, as well as picky eaters like my female Alaskan Klee Kai.

Having paid for We Feed Raw since 2023, we’ve had a great experience and seen a transformation with Skye, who is obsessed with her raw food.

If you have a fussy eater, I recommend trying We Feed Raw, based on our success with their raw food.
