State of Raw Feeding: 2026 Survey

An anonymous survey of modern dog feeding practices—from kibble to raw to hybrid approaches. Results will be summarized and shared publicly.

Raw feeding didn’t stay a niche idea for long. Since Dr. Ian Billinghurst’s 1993 book Give Your Dog a Bone, raw feeding has grown into an ecosystem—multiple diet models, expanding ingredient options, and a mix of DIY and ready-made solutions. With so many voices (and so much debate), we want to ground the conversation in real-world behavior. What’s the state of raw feeding in 2026?
