Muscle Meat & Offal Guide for Dogs
Different parts of an animal provide different nutrients. This guide helps explain the difference between muscle meat, muscle organs and secreting organs often found in dog food recipes.

- Beef
- Lamb
- Chicken
- Turkey
- Duck
- Pork
- Venison
- Rabbit
- Goat
- Fish
- Meat chunks
- Minced meat
Muscle Organs
These are organs, but they are usually counted as muscle meat rather than secreting offal in many raw feeding breakdowns.
- Heart
- Tongue
- Green tripe
- Gizzard
- Cheek
- Oesophagus
- Lung
Secreting Offal
Secreting organs are nutrient-rich organs. These are usually listed separately from muscle meat in raw food recipes.

Raw Feeding FAQs

Yes, puppies usually need a higher percentage of food while growing. Their portions should be checked often as their weight and age change quickly.
It refers to a common BARF style raw feeding split: 80% muscle meat, 10% edible bone, 5% liver and 5% other secreting organ.
No. Feeding calculators are a starting guide. Body condition, age, activity, health and metabolism all make a difference.
If your dog is new to raw, introduce changes gradually and keep meals simple at first. Start with one protein, monitor your dog’s digestion, then slowly add variety once they are settled.
Simple raw transition guide
- Start simple: begin with one protein your dog usually does well with.
- Watch digestion: keep an eye on stools, appetite and energy.
- Add variety: once settled, slowly introduce other proteins and textures.
