Offer occasional raw bones for excellent dental health (optional).
Offer complementary treats for reward (optional).

LUNA & Naturals contain an exclusive range of Bones & Treats from fresh raw meaty bones to peanut butter, all the noms your pet deserves.

Smoked Bones - We do not recommend smoked bones as most smoked bones contain nitrates (preservatives). A big concern is many smoked bones available in today’s pet food shops are made in China. Similarly to the jerky treat concerns from China, smoked bones are not something we would suggest offering regularly to your pet.

Meal Replacement Bones & Recreational Bones - Meal replacement bones are usually non-weight bearing bones that can be eaten entirely. The total weight of the bone counts towards your pet’s total daily food intake as well. Good examples of meal replacement bones would be Naturals Bare Bones - Lamb.

Recreational Bones are weight bearing or hardened bone that is more of a complicated chew. These often have some meat and sinews but are predominately bone and are not intended to be eaten entirely. Good examples of a recreational chewing bone is Marrow bone, or our Naturals Bare Bones - Beef.

How many bones should you feed - With LUNA & me complete meals bones are optional. If you choose to feed bones, we suggest 1 raw bone per week. You can of course choose to feed more or less than this amount. Ideally it should be a mix of both meal replacement and recreational chewing bones.

Bones provide dental benefit (cleaner teeth and gums) but also mental and physical exercise as well. Chewing a raw bone for 30 minutes is equal to a 30 min. walk for your dog.

Why should you feed raw bones - Raw bones provide your dog with physical and mental exercise. Chewing for approximately 20 – 30 min. is equal to a 30 min. brisk walk for your pet! On rainy days, or during colder winter months chewing a raw bone is a great way to provide your pet with additional physical and mental exercise.

Another amazing benefit to a raw bone is it’s ability to clean off plaque and tartar. Raw bones help to clean teeth and gums, and results can be seen in as quickly as 2 -3 days! Clean teeth and gums means fresher breath and a healthier dog!

Fruit and Vegetables add texture and fibre to your dog’s raw meals.
The addition of fruit and vegetables also add trace minerals and vitamins that are not easily found in animal protein sources alone.

The antioxidant properties and many health benefits of fruit and vegetables are also good reasons why your raw fed dog should enjoy a small portion of fruit and vegetables as part of a balanced and complete raw diet.

We add fruit and vegetables to all our SuperBlends, Puppy Working Dog & Adult Working Dog recipes.

To ensure nutrient balance we would suggest that fruit and vegetables not exceed 20% of the overall diet.

As our products are made in small batches, using natural butcher-quality ingredients, colour and texture may vary from batch to batch.

We passionately believe the freezer is the best place to store our food, it means the quality is never compromised and you are able to waste less. We never add any nasty preservatives or chemicals to our food, we don't want to eat them so why should we make our pets?

Freezing is natures best way of preserving food. We are able to help you reduce your waste at home by using your freezer. We individually portion and wrap our food so you can take what you need, when you need it and leave the rest for another day.

ALL of our packaging is fully recyclable. From recycled materials; produced, sourced and made in the UK.

We appreciate that packaging is a sensitive subject and nobody takes it more seriously than us, however, there is lot of headline grabbing statements about packaging both plastic, plant based and biodegradable that are simply untrue.

We have spent a lot of time making conscious decisions for our business regarding our packaging and none of the choices we make are taken lightly and all are made with the environment in mind.

We believe in the production process of 'closing the loop’ where recycled packaging waste is collected, recycled and used to make new products, and we believe that this is where our efforts should be focused, on education and accountability from us as consumers, decision makers, councils and ultimately our government, put quite simply we are not doing enough to make this happen.  Especially companies who are using so called bio-degradable and plant based packaging as a badge of honour without looking into how those single-use products are actually produced and the damage they are causing to our fragile environment, all of which is diverting attention from the main issue, how we handle waste.

When we consider ‘anything’ for LUNA & me, we start with the environmental impact, ensuring our environmental footprint remains as small as possible.  We care deeply about our natural world, and yes we did say world!

Our Patty trays are made from EcoPET. An innovative, lightweight, 100% recycled/recyclable, lower carbon footprint packaging material.

Did you know? Patty trays reduce food waste to zero, and are sealed to lock in quality and freshness.

Our cardboard sleeves that surround our Patty trays are completely bio-degradable, made from FSC registered cardboard, and can be easily recycled after use, or added to your compost heap if you have one.

When you see the FSC's 'tick tree' logo on a product it means that it comes from products certified under the FSC system. When you see the FSC logo on a label, you can buy forest products with confidence that you are helping to ensure our forests are alive for generations to come.

Our Mince boxes are completely bio-degradable, made from PEFC registered cardboard, and can be easily recycled after use, or added to your compost heap if you have one.

When you see the PEFC label on a product, it means that it comes from a PEFC-certified forest (obviously, only the forest-based material within the product). A PEFC-certified forest is a forest that is managed in line with the strictest environmental, social and economic requirements. A forest that will be around for generations to come.

Our Insulated boxes are ‘food-safe’ and made from EPS.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is much greener than you think! EPS is similar to a balloon because their shapes are both made up of 98% air.
EPS boxes have millions of cells that trap air, without the need for harmful gasses!
Made from recycled material and fully recyclable after use.

Our Cardboard delivery boxes, brown paper and packing note paper are made from recycled cardboard/paper and fully and easily recycled after use.

Yes, we welcome packaging returns from our local customers.
To keep our environmental footprint as small as possible, for those further afield we encourage you to repurpose our packaging where possible.

To meet our quality standards, we only source from people we know and trust, farmers and growers that measure up. It’s hard to get on our list – and for good reason. Our suppliers must meet our strict standards for food safety and health as well as sustainability and fair trade practices, and if ‘I won’t eat it’ I promise ‘it doesn’t go in our food’.

All of our ingredients are butcher-quality, from government inspected producers. This means you can be confident that the meat in your pet’s raw food is the highest quality and subject to the same strict inspection standards as the food intended to feed your family.

No By-products. No fillers. No additives or preservatives. No meats of animals dying, diseased or disabled. No feathers. No corn, wheat or soy. No ingredients from outside the UK. No genetically modified ingredients.

All raw meat products are transported from the producer to LUNA & me on temperature controlled delivery lorries. From their premises to our kitchen, we can guarantee that the meat has remained at a constant cold temperature, either frozen or chilled.

From the first step of production through to our finished products; we follow the FSA (The Food Standards Agency) principals and HACCP (Hazard and Critical Control Point) processes. We meet all Safe Food Quality standards and exceed Good Manufacturing Practices, ensuring you of a Higher Standard of Quality Assurance.
All our raw foods comply with the legal trading requirements of the APHA inspections and we carry out all required microbiology testing.

Our manufacturing facilities are registered by DEFRA as a registered plant. DEFRA Approved - 11/052/8106 ABP/PTF.

We test for germs! The LUNA & me kitchen ensures that all of our recipes meet our rigorous standards. We test our extraordinary raw dog & cat foods to rule out anything that could possibly hurt your pet. That includes things you can only see under a microscope, like: bacteria, such as salmonella.

Our products are frozen at temperatures below – 20 degrees to maximise the nutrients in our freshly prepared raw food. Our facility is equipped with a Temperature Monitoring System to ensure all products remain at a constant frozen state from the date of production to the day of despatch, so you can feel confident that your product will arrive safely at your doorstep.

This is never our recommendation!
Generally speaking raw and dry digest differently. For this reason we suggest avoiding feeding both at the same time.

First find your pet’s ideal food portion by checking our food calculator here. Our food calculator will give you portions in Patties and Grammes.

Option 1 – Patties
Each patty weighs 100g and patties come in packs of 3.

Option 2 - Mince
Each box weighs 750g. It may be necessary to weigh out your pets daily portion with a kitchen scale.

Food should be served at room temperature. A bowl of fresh water should be nearby.

We recommend breaking Patties into bite-sized pieces and forking over Mince to serve.

For additional information on feeding, please contact us.

Feeding requirements depend on the amount of exercise, age, breed, environmental factors, neutered status and individual variation.

We recommend feeding your adult dog or cat 2-3% of his ideal body weight a day, divided into two meals.
We recommend feeding your puppy dog or kitten 5-7% of his ideal body weight a day, divided between meals.

This can be used as a general guide, together with good sense and experience.
For overweight dogs & cats, daily amounts should be based on target weight not actual weight.

Store frozen. Once defrosted, refrigerate and use within 3 days.

Store in a dry cupboard. No need to keep cold. 

Store frozen. Once defrosted, refrigerate and use within 3 days.

We recommend removing only the amount you need for the next day from the freezer each evening. Defrost in the fridge overnight.

Yes. However, LUNA & me products are designed so that you don't have to! We plan, portion, package & deliver. All you do is thaw and feed.

To thaw food safely we recommend the following:
Thaw in a refrigerator. If you thaw food at room temperature, in a sink with cold water or in a microwave, you must use thawed food within 3 days. Do not re-freeze.
Only food thawed in a refrigerator can be re-frozen.
Portion into individual servings.
Re-Freeze immediately.
Once thawed for the 2nd time we recommend using ideally within 1-2 days.

Thawing, refreezing and re-thawing meat can result in some loss of moisture and product quality.

Yes, but this is not our recommended method of thawing our products. If you have forgotten to thaw food, often sitting food in some lukewarm water will help thaw it quickly.

Many dogs will also eat raw food frozen.

Forget to thaw food? Take a tray of Patties and sit in some lukewarm water for 10 min. Open pack. Feed whole Patties or cut into desired quantity.

No, additional supplements are not necessary when feeding from our Puppy Working Dog | Adult Working Dog | SuperBlends | RawBlends | Essential ranges.

Yes, we recommend supplementing our Bare range for necessary Omega 3 Fatty Acids. We do also recommend adding supplement to the Bare range as these menu items do not contain superfoods or fruit and vegetables.

The best and easiest way to determine how much to feed is to use our Food Calculator. Enter your pet’s actual weight to determine how much food your pet requires.

Another recommendation is to feed your pet 2-3% of your pet’s ideal body weight. Simply take the total and divide into how many meals per day. For example 20kg dog x 2.5% = 5. This means your pet requires 5 x Patties or 500g per day. Divided into two meals = 2.5 Patties or 250g per meal.

Adult Feeding Guidelines:

Your average 3kg dog requires 0.75 to 1 Patty per day or 75-100g per day.

Your average 6kgs dog requires 1.25-2 Patties per day or 125-200g per day.

Your average 10kgs dog requires 2-3 Patties per day or 200-300g per day.

Your average 20kgs dog requires 4-6 Patties per day or 400-600g per day.

Your average 30kgs dog requires 6-9 Patties per day or 600-900g per day.

How do I know how much to feed my Puppy? Feeding Puppies is best explained in our Puppies page.

Transitioning to a raw food diet is simple and very rewarding. This process is best explained in on our Making the Switch page.

Yes! I am happy to help provide a personal meal plan just for your pet.

Please message us and tell us about your pet.

Absolutely! It is never too early to start feeding your puppy LUNA & me. Your puppy will be growing-up fast during the early months and providing them with optimal nutrition is very important.

LUNA & me Puppy Power recipe is balanced with the correct calcium & phosphorus ratios as recommended for all life stages. All our meals are packed with naturally occurring bioavailable minerals and vitamins to ensure your puppy will mature into a healthy adult.

For a detailed guide on how to feed your puppy visit our Puppies page.

Now that your pet’s meals have been eaten, make sure to wash any dishes or surfaces that you used to handle your raw food. Handling LUNA & me is as simple as handling any other raw meat. The same hygiene steps apply. LUNA & me raw pet food uses the same ingredients found in your local Butchers shop. This means the raw meat you feed your pet should be handled the same way you would handle raw meat for the rest of your family.

Cats dietary needs are not significantly different from dogs, but the differences are very important!

Here are the two main differences:

Cats are obligate carnivores. This means they have no dietary necessity to eat fruit and vegetables. All the essential vitamins and minerals your cat requires can be found in a diet of meat, bone and organ meat (in proper ratios).

Cats have an absolute requirement for an essential amino acid – Taurine. Cats do not have the capability to create taurine from methionine and cysteine as dogs do. This means that a cat must ingest sufficient taurine in order to meet its taurine requirements. The excellent news is LUNA & me meals are properly formulated to contain sufficient taurine for your cat.

All of LUNA & me raw meals meet the minimum requirement for taurine.

Where taurine exceeds the recommended dietary minimums, this is not concerning as excessive taurine is flushed by the kidneys.

We recommend choosing our RawBlends and Essential.

Our most popular options for cats are as follows: RawBlends Whisker Lickin' Chicken | RawBlends Marvellous Beef & Duck | RawBlends Tasty Turkey & Wild Venison | RawBlends Purr-fect Lamb & Chicken | Essential Sublime Rabbit | Essential Tempting Turkey | Essential Sensational Beef | Essential Divine Duck

No, additional supplements are not necessary when feeding from our RawBlends range.

Yes! Raw diets provide the perfect nutrients your kitten needs to grow. We highly recommend a rotational meal plan that includes a variety of proteins from our RawBlends menu.

You can begin raw weaning from 4-5 weeks and feed from 5-8 weeks.

At this time, we do not make a Kitten food; we prefer that you use our RawBlends range and run it through a blender to achieve the perfect consistency for your kittens. In our experience, every breeder / pet parent has different requirements; you can create your ideal blend. We make the ultimate food, so all you have to do is blend if you deem it necessary.

At the beginning of weaning, offer food a couple of times a day. They are just trying and testing new experiences, and nutritional requirements are still predominantly obtained from their mother. Increase to 5 times a day from 4 to 5 weeks of age. This will encourage them to take less from their mother and help her naturally dry up, ready for when they leave you. Reduce meal frequency to 4 times a day towards seven weeks old.

From 12-14 weeks old, you can begin to introduce the food without the need to blend. To be used as a general guide, together with good sense and experience.

A LUNA & me raw diet may help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight for your dog or cat.

For best results we suggest the following recommendations for your meal and menu planning.

Portion size may need to be adjusted to meet your pets specific needs. Visit our Contact Us page for our help.

Feed LUNA & me Patties or weigh your pet’s meals. Often estimating food portions can lead to weight gain.

Choose menu items that contain a lower % of fat and avoid menu items that contain a higher % of fat.

For dogs we recommend feeding from our Adult and/or SuperBlends menus as these recipes contain fruit and vegetable. Eating fruit and vegetables can help your dog maintain a healthy weight.

Limit treats as well as they also contribute to your pets overall food intake.

Exercise! Monitor their activity level and reduce their food portions particularly if exercise is more limited.

Food Allergies or Intolerances are perhaps the single most frequent reason a pet might visit the vet.

Itchy skin, ear infections and gastrointestinal upset may be symptoms of a food allergy, and switching to a raw diet can be the answer to treating the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.

Allergy symptoms may be an over-response of your pet’s immune system to a particular protein.

Proteins are present in almost all the food your dog or cat will consume. We know that meats are a source of protein, but even vegetables and grains contain proteins that may be problematic for your pet.

Food trials, or elimination diets, are the single most effective way to determine food sensitivities.

Most commercial pet food has multiple ingredients, so determining which protein is causing the allergic response can be very difficult.

With raw feeding you can clearly identify the protein triggering the allergic response when you feed a single protein diet for a period of time. LUNA & me offers a wide selection of single proteins.

Additionally raw diets work to restore the health of the digestive tract. A healthy digestive system is critical in eliminating allergy symptoms.

Yes! A raw food diet is very beneficial for dogs that suffer from anal gland issues.

Your dog eliminates toxins (found in preservatives and poor quality ingredients in pet food) through the skin, liver and anal glands. A poor diet can contribute to the amount of secretions in the glands. Bottom scooting is often a telltale sign your pet is experiencing itching or full anal glands.

Many dogs with anal gland issues have had the anal gland sacks manually expressed by their vet or groomer. Routine manual expression of the glands can cause inflammation and swelling which can aggravate and increase the frequency of blocked glands. Allowing the body to naturally express the gland secretions is the safest and healthiest for your dog.

Often the recommendation by your veterinarian is to add extra fibre to the diet to produce a larger volume stool that will help to naturally express the glands. A raw diet is often more effective as the stools are very firm. The firm stool helps to express the glands far better than a soft stool.

The solution and safeguard to preventing a pancreatic attack is to offer a diet rich in naturally occurring digestive enzymes, including highly digestible animal proteins and low in carbohydrates.

Dogs with pancreatitis also benefit from a modified raw food diet that will help to better manage this condition. Recommendations include the following: Choose raw meals with a lower % of fat and avoid red meats (beef, lamb) or high fat proteins (pork and duck).

Feed your pet regularly, a minimum of twice per day. Exercise your dog regularly.

Yes! Pregnancy and lactation place a high demand on your dog or cats dietary needs.
