Our Meat Sources

Top Dog Food Meat Sources

As pet owners we only want the best for our furry four-legged friends. This is why we only use the best.

Our meat:

  • is never denatured 3D (dying, diseased or down) or 4D (dead) meat,
  • DOES NOT contain any denaturant chemicals in our dog foods. Our foods are all natural and pure!
  • is not pasteurized either by heat or HPP (High-Pressure Pasteurization),
  • does not have any preservatives, fillers, grains, premixes or anything synthetic added

We always use the highest quality of meats, bones and organs sourced from USDA inspected farms, slaughters and processors.

AAFCO

Our products do not follow the AAFCO guidelines for a “complete and balanced” diet. We strongly believe in keeping all of our products as close to how nature intended without the use of artificial ingredients, supplements, minerals or vitamins – If you can’t pronounce it, we don't believe it should be an ingredient! Instead, we only use grade-A quality whole fruits and veggies, organs, bones, and meat to make our blends as close to how nature intended. After all, isn’t this why we feed raw? To mimic their species appropriate diet.
