Real food. That's the whole idea.

Most dog food is cooked at high heat, pressed into shapes, and sprayed with the nutrients the cooking destroyed. Raw food skips all of that. It's meat, organ, and bone — ground fresh in Petaluma, fed the way a dog's body already knows how to use it.

 

What "raw" actually means

No cooking. No extrusion. No synthetic vitamin pack added back in at the end. We grind whole animals — muscle, bone, organ — in a USDA human-grade facility in Petaluma, then freeze it. That's the entire process. When you read the label, you'll recognize every word on it.

Guaranteed Difference

Compared with the average grain-based kibble. Every batch is made with USDA-inspected, human-grade sourcing.

What owners notice first

Less odor, smaller stools

Your dog is a carnivore. A raw diet with the right meat-to-bone-to-organ ratio gets absorbed almost completely — what isn't a nutrient just isn't in the food to begin with.

Healthier coat & skin

Persistent itching and coat issues often trace back to fillers and preservatives. Raw diets supply essential fatty acids without either.

Cleaner teeth, fresher breath

Dogs fed grain-based diets are more prone to periodontal disease. Ground and whole bone provide calcium that naturally reduces tartar buildup.

Leaner body, better joints

Overweight dogs on a raw diet typically lose fat and gain lean muscle, with visible improvement in joint mobility within about two weeks.
Easier movement in older dogs
Owners of older, arthritic dogs often see real gains in energy and activity level once omega-3s and proper nutrition replace processed kibble.
Better digestion overall
Raw food carries living enzymes and amino acids that many chronic digestive and sensitive-stomach issues respond well to.

How to Feed Our Grinds

We’ve designed these recipes to be fed in rotation, ensuring your pet gets a diverse profile of minerals and amino acids.

Whole Animal Poultry

Chicken, duck, turkey. Made from the entire animal — muscle, bone, organ, connective tissue — so it's a complete, standalone meal on its own.

Organ-Rich Red Meats

Beef, pork, lamb. Bone-free and loaded with extra organ — rotate these in for deeper nourishment that muscle meat alone can't provide.

By alternating between our whole-animal poultry and our organ-rich red meats, you’re providing a straightforward, species-appropriate diet built on transparency and local sourcing.

How to transition your dog to raw

Option #1
Cold turkey

Stop kibble, start raw the next day. A one-day fast in between can help clear the system first — a day or two without food won't harm an adult dog.

Option #2
7-day transition

Day 1: 25% raw, 75% current food

Day 3: 50/50

Day 5: 75% raw, 25% current food

Day 7: 100% raw

What to expect: Kibble is bulked up with fillers, so the stool it produces is soft and large. Raw stool is smaller, firmer, and your dog may seem to strain a little — that's normal, not constipation. It's a sign the food is being used, not padded out.
