Cooked or raw?
Not all dogs need the same type of food — even when the food is homemade. Whether a dog is healthy or dealing with ongoing challenges plays a major role in how different diets are tolerated and used.

This article helps clarify the difference between feeding healthy dogs and dogs with health-related needs, and how that distinction should guide your choices inside the platform.
Healthy dogs vs. dogs with special needs
Healthy dogs with stable digestion, normal stools, and no recurring symptoms often tolerate a wider range of diets. For these dogs, both raw and cooked homemade food can work well when the recipes are properly balanced. The focus is usually on maintaining vitality, supporting long-term health, and choosing a format that fits the dog and the household.
Cooked food
Dogs with health challenges — such as digestive sensitivity, or chronic conditions — often require a more careful approach. In these cases, tolerance matters more than variety. Cooked diets are frequently easier to digest and allow for more control over ingredients, structure, and nutrient availability. This makes them a common starting point for dogs that need additional support.
The key distinction is not whether a diet is “better,” but what the dog can handle right now. Needs can change over time, and feeding strategies should change with them.
Structured for different needs
Inside Evighetshundens Kjøkken, recipes are organized to support both healthy dogs and dogs with specific needs. By understanding where your dog falls today, you can make calmer, more informed choices — and adjust intentionally as things evolve.
