We use the frozen nuggets from Nature's Menu, and just give our dog the nuggets straight from the freezer. He's happy with it and it slows down how fast he scoffs it down.
We feed the dog carrots as treats for extra fibre and also the occasional fruit and veg nugget (again from Nature's Menu)

CSB warning.
Paleoridge is owned by the founder of Natures Menu. She left and started Paleoridge when the company she sold out to started compromising on quality and safety. They always have some sort of safety scandal, which is the main reason they rebrand every few years.
That said, we fed it to Otto for a few years before he suddenly just started to refuse to eat any flavour of it. Around about that time it was in the news that some dogs had died of food poisoning from Natures menu food...seemed like a good time to switch. Up until that point though, Otto got on well with it so perhaps/hopefully the fear/rumours aren't as bad as the real picture.
Its quite hard to find info about the issues but its there if you search for it. There is also some confusion with the US version of Natures Menu which seems to have regular Salmonella recalls and other issues too.

curious to hear how the raw feeders here manage the whole defrosting dance.
we have the 1kg packs from paleoridge and I defrost them in a tupperware that fits the package inside at the bottom of the fridge, but [golfclub] we recently got a fancy new fridge that excels at keeping our fresh stuff fresh by being really fucking good at keeping things cold [/golfclub] and it takes up to 3 days to defrost the solid block of meat to the point it's ready to serve but we get through a kilo in about 2.5 days and if there's any wastage we end up having to defrost on the countertop and that gives me the dry itch because I dont want to give our pooch salmonella or something. every time things get a bit loose at the other end I'm worried we're not doing properly right by him.
am curious what other peoples routines are...
edit: also does anyone give their dog extra fibre in any form? I think sometimes the raw stuff goes through him a bit too quickly hence why we get the odd super runny one.
