There’s a reason we include things like kelp, beef heart, and cod liver oil. Kelp = natural iodine and thyroid support. Beef heart = rich in taurine, a critical amino acid for heart health. Cod liver oil = loaded with Omega-3s for joint, skin, and coat health. We don’t believe in fluff or fillers. Every ingredient in our raw blends serves a purpose—and it shows in our feeding results.
“You’ll make your dog sick.” “They’ll get salmonella.” “It’s not balanced.” Sound familiar? These myths were created in a world built around processed convenience. The truth is: raw feeding, when done correctly, is not only safe—it’s what your dog’s body was made for. All of our blends are formulated to meet or exceed AAFCO guidelines. And every ingredient is human-grade, locally sourced, and flash frozen to preserve nutrients and safety
Feeding raw shouldn’t feel like a science project. That’s why each of our 4lb boxes comes with 6 pre-portioned trays divided into smaller 75g portions. Perfect for small dogs, growing puppies, or anyone who’s tired of hacking away at frozen bricks of meat. Our newest ½ lb patties were designed with large dogs and convenience in mind—pop one out, thaw, feed. Done. No guesswork, no mess. Just clean food, easily delivered.
We hear it every week: “My dog hasn’t looked this good in years.” From seniors regaining their pep to picky eaters finally cleaning their bowls, raw feeding is changing lives. Our customers have shared stories of improved stool, shinier coats, and better energy in just weeks. Even the pickiest eaters go wild for our ½ lb patties, which come in protein blends like beef, turkey, and duck—each balanced with organ meats and nutrient-dense veggies. We’re not here to sell hype. We’re here to feed dogs real food.
If your dog is licking their paws raw or scratching like they’ve got fleas (and they don’t), there’s a good chance their food is to blame. Kibble often contains fillers, preservatives, and synthetic additives—many of which are common triggers for inflammation and allergic reactions. Raw diets eliminate the mystery and bring it back to whole, traceable ingredients. You know exactly what your dog is eating. Bonus: Our blends are free from common triggers like corn, wheat, soy, and synthetic dyes. Because clean food = clean skin, clean ears, and a happier pup.
Yes, we're talking poop. Because what comes out says everything about what went in. Raw-fed dogs poop less, and it smells way better (seriously). Why? Because their bodies are absorbing more of the nutrients they’re given, instead of expelling fillers and synthetics. If your dog has chronic soft stool, gas, or unpredictable bathroom habits, it’s likely tied to poor digestion—and that often comes back to kibble. Flaxseed, liver, kelp, and quality muscle meats can do wonders for gut health. Add in hydration from fresh ingredients and you’ve got a poop schedule even a vet would envy.
So you're ready to ditch the bag of kibble. Welcome to the fresh side. But what happens during the switch? Transitioning to raw can seem intimidating, but with the right support, it’s simple. Most dogs will need a 7–10 day transition window, where you slowly introduce raw food alongside their current meals. Watch for changes in poop (less of it!), increased thirst (as toxins flush), and energy shifts. Our Natural Raw Dog Foods patties make portioning easy—no measuring cups, no math, just real food in real portions. Trust the process. What you’re doing now can add years to your dog’s life.
Forget everything you thought you knew about "complete and balanced" kibble. Today’s dog parents are getting smarter, and it’s no coincidence that raw feeding is on the rise. The truth? Kibble might meet the bare minimum— but is that what your dog deserves? Raw feeding gives your pup whole, nutrient-rich, species-appropriate food. And yes, there’s actual meat in it—not meat meal or “flavouring.” With ingredients like beef liver, spinach, flaxseed, and cod liver oil, dogs finally get what their bodies were designed to digest. Beyond better digestion, a raw diet improves energy, coat shine, and even behaviour. And if your pup has itchy skin, loose stools, or stinky breath, these are more than quirks—they’re signs of an imbalanced, overly processed diet.
You may have seen the term “species-specific diet” on our packaging or social posts — but what does that really mean? A species-specific diet is one that aligns with what your dog’s body was naturally designed to eat. Dogs are facultative carnivores, which means they thrive on a diet rich in animal protein, with supplemental plant matter. Unlike processed kibble that’s filled with grains, synthetic vitamins, and additives, raw food mimics the whole-prey model dogs evolved with. Natural Raw Dog Foods provides this ideal balance: fresh meat, bone, organ, and small amounts of fruit and vegetables — all in proportions that reflect your dog’s ancestral diet. Our blends support healthy teeth and gums, shiny coats, joint mobility, and balanced digestion. Whether your dog is a high-energy working breed or a lazy lapdog, feeding species-appropriate raw food is one of the best ways to help them thrive — naturally
One of the most common hesitations pet parents have about raw feeding is safety — and we totally understand. You want to be sure your dog’s food is not only nutritious, but also free of harmful bacteria and pathogens. At Natural Raw Dog Foods, we prioritize safety every step of the way. All of our meats are sourced from Canadian suppliers who adhere to strict food safety regulations. Our production facility follows HACCP protocols, which means we identify and control potential risks throughout the manufacturing process. Our food is made in small, controlled batches with rigorous sanitation standards, and frozen immediately to preserve freshness and reduce risk. Because our products are intended to be handled like any raw meat, we also provide safe handling tips on every package. If your dog is immune-compromised or you have special health concerns in your household, we always recommend speaking with your veterinarian. But for the vast majority of healthy dogs, feeding raw is a safe, natural way to improve their health and quality of life.
