FAQs

Is Benyfit Natural Tender Chicken suitable for all dogs?

This specific product is formulated as a complete meal for adult working dogs. It is always recommended to consult with your veterinarian before switching your dog to a raw food diet, especially for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs with pre-existing health conditions.

How should I store the raw dog food?

The food must be kept frozen at -18°C (0°F) or below. Once thawed in the refrigerator, it should be used within 2-3 days and should not be refrozen.

Why is raw food recommended for dogs?

Raw food diets aim to mimic the natural diet dogs would consume in the wild, which consists of raw meat, bone, and organs, supplemented with some plant matter. Proponents believe this can lead to better digestion, healthier skin and coat, cleaner teeth, and increased energy levels.

What does 'complete' mean in relation to dog food?

'Complete' means the food contains all the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals required for a dog's daily diet in the correct proportions, so no supplements are needed when fed as the sole diet.

How much Benyfit Natural should I feed my dog?

Feeding guidelines vary based on your dog's age, breed, activity level, and metabolism. Benyfit Natural recommends specific daily amounts based on weight on their packaging or website. Always monitor your dog's condition and adjust portions as needed.

Is it safe to handle raw dog food?

Yes, but it requires strict hygiene. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling raw food. Ensure that food bowls, utensils, and preparation surfaces are cleaned and disinfected immediately after use to prevent cross-contamination.

What are 'botanicals' in the ingredients?

Botanicals are plant-based ingredients. In Benyfit Natural, they are included to provide a range of beneficial nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants that complement the meat-based components of the diet.

Troubleshooting

Dog is reluctant to eat the raw food.

Ensure the food is fully thawed and served at room temperature. Try mixing a small amount of warm water or a tiny, safe food topper. Gradual transition is key; don't force the issue if the dog is hesitant. Ensure no other strong-smelling foods are mixed in.

Loose stools or digestive upset during transition.

Slow down the transition process. Increase the proportion of Benyfit Natural more gradually over a longer period (e.g., 10-14 days). Ensure adequate thawing and proper hygiene.

Food has an unusual smell.

Raw food naturally has an odour. If the smell is putrid or 'off', the product may have spoiled. Check the expiry date and storage conditions. Contact the retailer if you suspect spoilage.

Product is not frozen upon arrival/delivery.

Do not consume if the product is not frozen or adequately chilled upon arrival. Contact the retailer immediately to report the issue and arrange for a replacement or refund.
