Instructions for Use

How to use?

Because Wolfork dog food consists of more than 88% raw meat, hygiene plays an important role. Therefore, please follow the instructions below.

Save
  • Store Wolfork dog food in the freezer at -18°C and close the bag with the resealable strip.
  • Remove the recommended amount from the freezer 6 hours in advance.
  • Place the food in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
  • Once defrosted, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours.

  • Serve a single portion, remove leftovers after twenty minutes.

Hygiene & Safety

Raw food requires the same basic rules as when you prepare raw meat for yourself. Four simple habits

Always wash your hands thoroughly

Before and after preparation. Simply with soap and water, just as you would with your own food.

Separate compartment

Use something you only use for dog food. Not the same as for your own food.

Clean tray immediately

Rinse the feeding bowl with hot water after every meal. Once a week in the dishwasher.

Keep away from small children

Do not let young children near the food bowl during feeding. The same rule applies as with any pet.

Switch in 4 days

As with all new food, we recommend a gradual transition. This allows your dog's digestive system to slowly adjust.
