TOP 5 MYTHS ABOUT FEEDING DOGS RAW AND NATURAL FOODS: BUSTED!
When it comes to feeding dogs a raw or natural diet, there’s a lot of buzz—and with it, plenty of myths and misconceptions. At No Bad Days, we’re all about providing honest, natural nutrition, so we’re here to clear up some of the most common misunderstandings surrounding raw and natural foods. Let’s bust those myths and get down to the facts!
MYTH #1: RAW FOOD IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR DOGS
One of the biggest concerns people have about raw diets is the potential for harmful bacteria. But here’s the thing: dogs are naturally equipped to handle raw food better than humans. Their digestive systems are shorter and more acidic, making it harder for harmful bacteria to thrive. Your best mate has an iron gut!
Of course, quality matters! That’s why at No Bad Days, we use exclusively human-grade produce! No messing around our products are comprised 100% in-house from sustainably sourced produce. We opt for Certified Organic product where available also, helping ensure your best mate is in the best hands!
MYTH #2: NATURAL DOG FOOD ISN’T COMPLETE AND BALANCED
Many people believe that natural or raw diets can’t provide all the nutrients dogs need, but the truth is, a well-balanced raw or natural diet is almost always more nutritionally complete than conventional Kibble - we're of the opinion if you wouldn't eat it, why feed it to your best mate?
Our premium toppers, like Skin & Coat, Bones & Joints, and Anxiety, Stress & Gut, are designed to complement a natural diet, ensuring your dog gets a full spectrum of nutrients. Whether you’re feeding raw, wholefoods, or a mix, these toppers help round off the diet and keep your pup in tip-top shape.
MYTH #3: RAW AND NATURAL DIETS ARE HARD TO MANAGE
Some people think feeding raw or natural foods is too complicated or time-consuming. We get it—busy schedules can make meal prep tough! But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be difficult. Products like our air-dried treats and probiotic-infused peanut and almond butters make it easy to add raw, wholefood goodness to your dog’s diet without the hassle.
We’ve done the hard work for you. With No Bad Days, you can give your dog the benefits of a natural diet with convenience, knowing that everything we make is free from additives, preservatives, and fillers.
MYTH #4: NATURAL DOG FOOD IS TOO EXPENSIVE
Yes, high-quality raw or natural food can come with a higher price tag than some supermarket brands, but when you think about the long-term benefits, it’s worth the investment. Feeding your dog real, nutrient-dense food helps promote better health, which means fewer vet visits and potentially lower healthcare costs over time.
At No Bad Days, we prioritize quality over profit. Our entire range is sustainably sourced, air-dried, and made with love in Australia. We believe that great nutrition shouldn’t break the bank, and that’s why we’re committed to providing top-quality, all-natural products at fair prices.

People often assume that a raw or natural diet isn’t eco-friendly, but with the right sourcing and packaging practices, it can be. At No Bad Days, we’re proud to run a future-proofed, sustainability-focused business. From our locally sourced ingredients to our carbon-neutral shipping, we ensure every step of our production process is as eco-friendly as possible.
