Raw Feeding Large Breed Dogs in Rutherford Edmonton

Jul 14, 2025

Raw feeding large breed dogs in Rutherford, Edmonton is practical with the Beef Bison Blend Tube. Here is how portions work for big dogs and why bulk buying makes sense.

Rutherford in southwest Edmonton has generous lot sizes, good parks, and the kind of space that naturally suits large breed dogs. If you share your Rutherford home with a lab, shepherd, golden, or any other bigger dog, raw feeding is worth knowing about, and the Beef Bison Blend Tube from Hound and Bone is one of the most practical ways to make it work.

Large Breed Dogs and Raw Feeding

Large breed dogs have real caloric demands. The standard starting point for raw feeding is 2 to 3 percent of body weight per day. For a 35kg dog, that works out to roughly 700 grams to 1 kilogram of raw food per day. A 40LB box from Hound and Bone contains approximately 18 kilograms of food, which gives that dog between 18 and 25 days of meals from a single order.

That math makes bulk buying the obvious choice for large breed owners in Rutherford. One order every three to four weeks, free delivery, and a freezer stocked with consistent, high-quality food.

Why Beef Bison Works for Big Dogs

Large, active dogs need protein to support muscle maintenance and fat to sustain energy. The Beef Bison Blend delivers both. Beef and bison together provide a dense, satisfying meal with the fat content that active large breeds need without any of the filler carbohydrates that pad out most commercial kibble.

The formula is complete: muscle meat, organs, ground bone, and tripe. For more on why these components matter, see our breakdown of what raw dog food is made of and our guide on raw dog food for large breed dogs.

Freezer Planning

Before placing your first large order, make sure you have the freezer space. A 40LB box is substantial. Many Rutherford large dog owners dedicate a chest freezer in the garage to dog food, which makes bulk buying seamless. Our guide on how to store raw dog food in the freezer covers everything you need to know.

Order the Beef Bison Blend Tube and get it delivered to Rutherford with free delivery on orders over $120.
