Sojos European-Style Dog Food Mix

Dogs are designed to eat raw, unprocessed foods, and holistic vets have been recommending raw foods for dogs for over 20 years. Dry dog foods have been cooked and pelletized, thus robbing them of natural nutrients and enzymes. That's why we blend Sojourner Farms European-Style Dog Food Mix from simple, uncooked, all-natural ingredients. We want it to be as close as possible to dog food the way nature intended. That means no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors – only wholesome, human-quality ingredients like steamed-rolled oats, ground pecans, and carob powder. And because there are no fillers in Sojourner Farms, there’s much more nutrition in every bite – meaning your dog eats less, and your food lasts typically twice as long as most other brands. If you’d like, you can also add raw or steamed vegetables to Sojourner Farms. It’s a simple, easy way to make your own complete and balanced dog food – and it only takes a couple of minutes a day. In short, we’ve done everything we can to make this food the best thing you can do for your dog. Give it a try. We’re 100% confident that the results will amaze you, and we back it up with a money-back guarantee. Sojourner Farms European-Style Dog Food Mix is the best of both worlds. It offers the superior nutrition of a raw diet, with the ease and convenience that people are looking for.

Feeding Instructions:

Combine Sojos, raw or lightly-cooked meat, and water. Let mixture soak in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (preferably overnight) and serve. You can mix up to a four-day batch ahead of time and refrigerate in a sealed container or freeze larger batches. For adult and senior dogs we recommend once-a-day feeding. For puppies we recommend twice-a-day feeding. (For twice-a-day feeding, split the amounts below in half.)

* These amounts are only general guidelines. Individual requirements will vary depending upon various factors such as metabolism, daily activity, health, genetics, and environment.

Starting Out

It is crucial to start your dog on Sojos gradually. We recommend at least a two-week transition (4-6 weeks for older, sick, or finicky dogs). Start with just a pinch of Sojos, meat, and water added to the food you’re currently using and gradually increase each day as you decrease your pet’s old food.


Adding Variety

We at Sojourner Farms believe variety is an essential part of a dog's diet, and thus encourage adding veggies and other healthy foods, in addition to meat. Try mixing in a teaspoon of chopped greens, carrots, or other natural foods such as cooked rice, yogurt, or eggs. Avoid citrus fruits, onions, and spicy foods. For dogs with special dietary needs, consult a holistic veterinarian. To find a holistic vet in your area, call the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association at (410) 569-0795.

Commonly Asked Questions & Helpful Tips

Q: Is homemade pet food expensive and hard to make?

A: No. Preparation takes only a few minutes a day. The results are well worth the short time invested. Sojos® has no fillers so it lasts much longer than other pet foods. When you consider the price per feeding, it’s a great value. Check out this article for more info.

Q: Can I feed Sojos without adding meat?

A: This product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. You must follow the feeding instructions and add the proper amount of meat to use this food for daily feeding.

Q: What if my dog has allergies?

A: Sojos isn’t processed into pellets or sprayed with synthetic additives (which can burden the body with toxicity), so your dog shouldn’t experience allergic reactions like they might with other pet foods.

Q: Will my dog gain or lose weight on Sojos?

A: When feeding a raw diet your dog may lose a little fat, which is normal, and then over time gain it back in muscle. If you want to keep weight on, soak the mix overnight, or try using meat with a higher fat content. Avocados and alfalfa powder also promote weight gain.

Q: Is this food too soft to clean my dog’s teeth?

A: Dry dog food does not clean teeth. That would be like people eating potato chips to clean their teeth. Your dog’s teeth are kept clean by a strong immune system and healthy, plaque-fighting saliva, which are the result of a healthy diet.

Q: Do I need to add a supplement to this food?

A: Unlike Sojos, traditional pet food is cooked, thus robbing it of naturally-occurring nutrients. Still, we encourage supplements to boost nutrition for sick, pregnant, and senior dogs, puppies or even healthy dogs. Adding raw vegetables to our mix is a great way to provide natural supplementation.


Q: Can dogs really eat raw meat?

A: Your dog’s digestive system is designed to handle raw meat. After all, wild or zoo animals don’t eat cooked meat. We’ve been using raw meat since 1985 with fantastic results. Purchase healthy selections of meat, always refrigerate or freeze, and follow recommended safe handling instructions on meat packaging. If you are still concerned, rinse meat in a solution of grapefruit seed extract or human-grade hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. If you prefer to cook the meat, add a general nutritional supplement or veggies to compensate for the nutrients lost to cooking. The important thing is to do what makes you feel comfortable.
