Managing a raw dog food freezer is no joke, especially when it’s stuffed to the brim and you can’t remember what’s buried at the bottom without doing a full excavation.
Sound familiar?
I’ve been raw feeding since 2015, and trust me, I’ve lived that freezer chaos firsthand. That’s exactly why I created these free printable raw dog food inventory sheets.
They take the guesswork out of what’s in your freezer, your pantry, and what you still need to order, so you can meal prep with a clear head instead of a mild panic.

How to Use the Inventory Sheets
Step 1: Print the inventory sheets above.
Keep them handy before you start because you’ll be filling them in as you go.
Step 2: Next, take everything out of your freezer.
If you feel like this may take some time, you can store the contents of the freezer in coolers and/or cooler bags to keep them from thawing.
This may also be a good time to clean your freezer.
I like to put a pot with hot water at the bottom of the freezer to help it defrost.
When the built up ice has melted, you can soak up the excess water with an old doggie towel. That will save you paper towels.
Once it’s dry, wipe everything down with a wet cloth and vinegar.
Don’t forget to do the same for your pantry and spice rack. It goes much faster, I promise!
Common spices and herbs used in raw feeding include turmeric, ginger, pepper, and parsley. Pepper is actually one of the key ingredients in turmeric paste.
Common canned goods you may be working with include pumpkin puree and canned sardines.
Step 3: As you reload your freezer, write down all the raw dog food ingredients that you have, split up by category:
- Secreting organs
- Raw meaty bones
- Muscle meat, including seafood
- Plant matter, including veggies, fruit, nuts & seeds
Don’t forget to note how many of each ingredient you have and when you should use it by. You can keep raw meat safely in your freezer for up to one year.
That said, according to Good Housekeeping, frozen meat can last beyond a year. The main difference after that point is taste quality, which matters a lot more to us than it does to our dogs!
Tip: Label the containers in your freezer to make it easier on yourself to locate items you need for meal prep.
If you’re working with a chest freezer, it can be tricky to keep its contents neatly organized.
Back when I had a chest freezer, I would store my secreting organs and homemade supplement paw prints in hanging baskets.
That’s because they were the smallest part of raw meal prep and took up the least amount of space.
I reserved the biggest surface for muscle meat and raw meaty bones.
Organizing an Upright Freezer
If you’ve upgraded to an upright freezer with drawers, organizing your raw dog food becomes a lot more intuitive.
Dedicate one drawer per category: secreting organs in one, raw meaty bones in another, fish in its own drawer, and muscle meat across one or two more depending on how much you stock.
This system makes it easy to grab exactly what you need for meal prep without digging through everything else. I also dedicate the smallest drawer to my pureed veggies.
Step 4: Decide how often you want to meal prep, then add the ingredients you still need for your weekly, bi-weekly or monthly batches to your shopping list.
Step 5: Go ingredient shopping!
The discount sheet already includes my 15% OFF code for Raw Paws Pet Food: K9Savings.
As you become aware of other discount codes from different suppliers, just add them to your discount sheet. That way, you won’t run the risk of forgetting or misplacing them.
Using these discounts regularly helps keep the cost of raw dog food down.
Step 6: Once your ingredient order comes in, add whatever cuts of meat you ordered to your inventory list.
As you use them for meal prep, tick the Used box or scratch them off your list.
Keep this up until your inventory sheet runs out of space. Once it does, it’s time to print out fresh sheets!
Tip: Tape your inventory lists to your freezer(s).
That way, you won’t misplace them and you can easily scratch ingredients off as you use them up.
Pro Tip: Go Reusable!
Want to avoid reprinting your sheets every time? Laminate them and write on them with a wet-erase marker. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and they’re ready to use again!
