                     RAwsome MealsTM

I know your dog’s health and well-being is important to you. We all understand that good health begins with a proper diet. An important fact about dogs that you may not know is that dogs will eat almost anything to avoid starvation, and unlike most other animals they won’t die immediately from eating species-inappropriate food. This detail is what kibble manufacturers have used to convince a majority of pet owners that an overcooked, hard, dry nugget laced with synthetic “vitamins” is dog food, and more recently that rice, pasta and vegetables are the foundation of a good meal for a dog. The profit margins on these products are extravagant and in the long term can do serious damage to your dog’s health.

        Contrary to what you may have been told, your dog is a carnivore, and like all carnivores is built to feed on “whole prey" because the nutrients a dog needs come from the flesh and organs of plant-eating herbivores: 

• Muscle supplies protein and fat, heart is rich in essential amino acids, potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and B-vitamins. Secreting organs supply minerals and fatty acids. Bone provides calcium, and marrow is rich in collagen, glucosamine and iron to maintain healthy joints and strong bones.

Gray wolves, the origin of domesticated dogs, feed on small game like beavers, hares, rodents or turkeys when big game is scarce. But their prey of choice are hoofed-mammals (ungulates), such as sheep, deer and elk. This is likely instinctual because the muscle tissue of wild and pasture-fed ungulates contains lipids, energy-storage molecules and chemical messengers, that appear to treat and prevent chronic disease, which is why the only ingredients we use to make RAwsome Meals come from USDA approved, human-grade, pasture-fed and wild ungulates, making RAwsome Meals the most species-appropriate food for dogs that money can buy. But the best is rarely cheap, and as much as we'd like our meals to be available to every dog owner who wants them we can't afford to sell them at a price that suits every pocketbook. The good news is that if at least 25% of your dog's weekly ration is replaced with RAwsome Meals your pet should experience a substantive difference in health and wellness.

        Because perfection is our goal, we address the one key ingredient that other dog food makers ignore. When a carnivore consumes an herbivore it ingests the fermenting plant matter in the digestive tract of that animal. Fermentation breaks down protein and turns it into amino acids, which combine with the carnivore’s digestive enzymes to help metabolize the animal protein consumed, stimulate a healthy microbiome and promote overall health and wellness. As a certified human-grade facility we cannot include the unwashed stomach that wild canines get when they consume whole prey. Instead, we suggest simple, more aromatic alternatives to complete our otherwise perfect meals:

1. The simplest suggestion is to add 1-2 Tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar with mother per lb. of RAwsome Meals.
2. To add fiber to the mix  choose 1-2 Tbsps of low-sodium fermented organic greens to each lb. of RAwsome Meals.
3. To provide nature's own solution, substitute 1/8 ration or more of whole prey to each feeding of RAwsome Meals.
4. My dog’s preference is a combination of #1 & #2. But feel free to use any combination that works best for your pet.

Feed your dog like a wolf to keep your pet healthy, active and fit.
