Doggobone Active Raw Foods

31/07/2026

Following up on our recent feeding trial announcement, we're excited to share the independent laboratory results for our Doggobone Classic formulation!

When we commissioned an independent digestibility trial using internationally recognised AAFCO protocols, our goal was simple: to move beyond opinion and validate our formulation with real nutritional science.

Here's what the results revealed:

>97.96% Fat Digestibility: Nearly every gram of healthy fat is absorbed and utilised to support sustained energy, healthy skin and a shiny coat.

>90.75% Protein Digestibility: Premium-quality protein means more essential amino acids are absorbed and used for muscle development and maintenance, with minimal waste.

>93.09% Overall Energy Digestibility: Combined with a high Metabolisable Energy (ME) value of 22.97 MJ/kg DM, every meal delivers concentrated, highly bioavailable nutrition to fuel your dog's everyday adventures.

So, what does this mean for your dog? 🐶

It means smaller, firmer stools, maximum nutrient absorption, and peak fuel for an active life, all from real, natural ingredients designed to help your dog thrive.

At Doggobone, we don't just believe in raw feeding, we believe in backing it with science.

You told us what’s in your bowl, now, we’re showing you the science behind it.

​This is a massive milestone for the local industry: DoggoBone is proud to be the first registered raw pet food company in South Africa to conduct controlled feeding trials..

​For over twenty years, our nutritional philosophy has been guided by the technical support of Dr. Richard Patton, a globally respected animal nutritionist with over four decades of pioneering experience.

His comment:
​"I don't endorse products. I endorse good science and anyone who uses good nutrition science. I fully endorse Doggobone and their willingness to invest in proper scientific verification of their work." - Dr. Richard Patton PhD.

While global validation is incredible, executing it on the ground takes a village. We extend our deepest gratitude to our local consulting nutritionist who has walked this road with us, keeping our formulations world-class. This achievement is as much theirs as it is ours.

​Our independent digestibility feed trials are officially in, and the results are absolutely exceptional!

​When we say our food is biologically appropriate and highly nutritious, we don’t just expect you to take our word for it; we have the data to prove it.

​The future of raw feeding is not just data-driven. It is a science. And we are leading the way.

Watch this space!

The Doggobone family would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Dr Duncan, the team at Plumstead Animal Hospital and PlumPets Animal Shelter, and all who knew and loved Paulette.

As one of our longstanding partners, Plumstead Animal Hospital and PlumPets Animal Shelter have been a valued part of our journey, and we were deeply saddened to hear of Paulette's passing.

Together with Dr Duncan, she helped build a practice that has cared for countless pets and the people who love them. Her kindness, dedication and compassion will be remembered by many.

Our thoughts are with Dr Duncan, their family, friends and the entire PAH and PPAS team during this difficult time.

Rest peacefully, Paulette. ❤️🐾

A huge congratulations to Kayla, Tyson, Gabby and Enzo, and their owner, Chantel Stander, for winning our Doggobone hamper giveaway! 🎉❤️

Chantel's raw feeding journey began back in 2014 when her beloved Husky, Shewa, was diagnosed with epilepsy. Throughout her life, she faced many health challenges, but thanks to Chantel's dedication and commitment to her wellbeing, she lived to the age of 10.

We've included a special photo in her memory, as she was the inspiration behind Chantel's decision to switch completely to Doggobone. Her legacy lives on through the love, care and nutrition that continues to fuel this beautiful pack 🐺❤️

Thank you to everyone who entered our competition and shared your stories with us. Reading them reminded us why we're so passionate about helping pets live their best lives.

Please join us in congratulating Chantel, Kayla, Tyson, Gabby and Enzo! 🐾✨

Not cheaper. Not a compromise. A choice. Because everybody deserves to feed raw.
