Diet
Here at Raised Right Pups®, our mamas and puppies are on a raw diet, receiving balanced nutrition from BJsRawPetFood.com, The Butcher’s Hound, and Fresh Pet. For new owners wishing to continue this diet, we recommend the Premium Mix. BJs takes the calculations and guesswork out of feeding raw by ensuring proper nutrition in each tub. This diet provides puppies with a healthy start, featuring no carrageenan, no preservatives, no corn, or hard-to-digest carbs—just a natural, balanced approach to their necessary nutrition.
However, supplements are not necessary as long as they get all their nutrients from their food. We still give our dogs the below:
Multi-Vitamin
Fish oil
Diatomaceous earth
Assortment of Veggies
Oatmeal
Scrambled Eggs
Fresh or Frozen Berries
Research shows that many commercial dog foods can contribute to health issues like cancer, obesity, gastrointestinal diseases, allergies, and food sensitivities. A raw diet mimicking what dogs eat in the wild aims to address these concerns by providing natural, unprocessed nutrition. This approach promotes better overall health and longevity, potentially reducing the risk of these common ailments. Emphasizing whole, natural ingredients may lead to a healthier lifestyle for dogs.

Puppies = 1/4 to 1/2 cup 3 x a day
6 months to Adult = 3/4 to 1 cup 3 x a day
Our puppies are currently fed a combination of all 3, FreshPet, The Butcher’s Hound, and BJ’s Raw Pet Food, all of which are free from carrageenan, ensuring they receive the best nutrition without unnecessary additives.
We recommend continuing with these brands, which are available for purchase, to maintain their diet consistency and health at home.
Although BJs & The Butcher’s Hound can take a few days to ship, Fresh Pet bags are available at any grocery store.

Freshpet Large Dog Multi-Protein Recipe (Chicken, Beef, Egg & Salmon)
This gently cooked, refrigerated food is a great option for large breeds like Goldens. It’s made with fresh, real ingredients and steam-cooked to preserve nutrients—no by-products or artificial preservatives.
The multi-protein blend supports healthy muscles, and added glucosamine and chondroitin help protect joints.
It’s also high in moisture, which supports hydration and kidney health. Just be sure to keep it refrigerated and use within 7–10 days after opening.
Perfect for picky eaters or dogs with sensitive tummies!
