National Raw Feeding Week



What is Raw Feeding?
Over centuries, our pets have adapted into what we know them as today – our loving companions and family members. Despite that, it’s important to remember our pets’ roots. Once wild animals, our dogs and cats hunted for their own food. They consumed whole prey – no cooking, no preparation, and no fancy dish. Raw feeding is the attempt to replicate this ancestral diet for our pets. This means feeding a species appropriate diet to give our pets exactly what their body needs.

What is a 'species appropriate diet'?
A diet specially formulated for your pet is made with approximately:
  • 80% Muscle Meat

  • 10% Bone

  • 5% Liver

  • 5% Offal (secreting organs like kidneys, spleen, pancreas, and testicles)

  • Each pet's diet is adjusted based on the pet’s individual needs and may include whole food supplements to account for nutrients not found in the meat and bone.





Benefits of Raw Feeding:
  • healthy skin and shiny coat
  • decreased plaque build up
  • Improved digestion due to less processed foods
  • stronger immune system
  • decreased allergies
  • healthy body weight and muscle mass
  • less poop to clean up
  • fewer vet visits
