Variety is an essential component of the raw feeding approach. Guard against developing sensitivities, while at the same time ensuring the body doesn’t become immune to the benefits of any one meat. Collectively, red meats and white meats optimize the digestive tract, making stool comfortable for both of you. Rich in essential nutrients including vitamins B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), Iron, and Zinc. Red meats aid in the absorption of Vitamin D which plays a role in the development and maintenance of healthy bones. As a component of a rotational diet, red meat tends to loosen stools. Appreciated for their ease of digestion, white meat is a terrific starter protein. High in niacin, Vitamin B6, and Phosphorus - as well as Selenium which renews the body, mends cell injuries and prevents cancer. Containing 15% ground bone or more, white meats aid in firming up stool. Recognized for its high-quality protein, and significant levels of B Vitamins - ideal for muscle growth and maintenance. It’s an economical option as a novel protein, and good choice for pets with food sensitivities. Like red meats, feeding pork as part of a rotational diet tends to loosen stools. Proteins found in our oceans contain Omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA - believed to reduce chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease, brain disorders, vision issues and arthritis. Insects are a compelling protein source in the face of global food shortage concerns. Highly nutritional - healthy fats, iron, and calcium, and low in carbohydrates.

DINNER
All of our of raw dinners contain fruits and vegetables - the majority of which have been juiced for optimal absorption, ensuring they are bioavailable so that dogs can truly benefit from the vitamins and minerals they contain.
PURE MEAT
Some dogs may tolerate only pure meat, and its all that a cat requires. If you are just starting on raw, introduce your dog to pure meats first. You can try dinner options after that once you have confirmed that your dog does well on a certain protein.
ALTERNATIVE
No refrigerator? No problem. Raw food is the easiest food for your pet to digest, but in times when you are travelling, or for other reasons, cannot feed raw, here are some great alternatives that are second best to a raw selection.
We’ve spent the past few years building a business and service that we are passionate about.

Human grade or intensively farmed. A practical, accessible level of heightened farming standards. A true commitment to a healthier future. “When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is right, medicine is of no need.”

And fortunately, we have a selection to choose from. Meal Replacement bones are not only nutritious, but they contribute to healthy teeth and gums. Plus they are more satisfying to eat than just inhaling from the bowl. Joints feed joints. Meal replacement bones are a great source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, as well as Calcium and Phosphorus in balance. All of these bones are non-weight bearing which are gentler on teeth, plus they are a supplementary source of fibre. (Yup! Fibre!) Make the most of play time with recreational bones which are typically weight-bearing bones, meaning they are dense, making them effective for teeth cleaning. Treat them like toys, so supervision is always
we have a bone to pick with you. literally!
Meal Replacement
Recreational
recommended.
your pets are in for a treat.
Who doesn’t love a cookie? Over 90% of dogs are motivated by food, so regardless if it’s for training or to reward, why not aspire to the same quality of treats as the raw food you’re feeding them.
Protein
All carnivores instinctually want protein, and 25% of dogs will even turn their nose up at non-meat treats! So a healthy pet is well suited to protein treats.
Non-Protein
Giving treats is truly an expression of the love we feel for our pets. Non-protein treats can be a more affordable and environmentally conscious option for most dogs.
