Best Raw Dog Food Suppliers
We are raw dog food suppliers who have a real passion for what we do, our aim is to help you understand the proven benefits of feeding a SARF diet, the appropriate raw food for dogs, rather than commercial synthetic human made biscuit/tinned “foods.” We are also passionate about creating an understanding of how these fake “foods” along with unnecessary treatments, not only burden the body but prevent total protection, ultimately burdening your animal with unnecessary disease and illness, allopathic treatments are then offered which only look to address the symptoms. You will read throughout the website that 75-80% of health in general comes from species appropriate raw food, this is because 75-80% of the immune system is housed in the gut, the immune system is what protects animals from virus and bacteria, this makes it the key to protection from diseases.
Our ethos is natural and eco-friendly, meaning all our food and treats are as natural as can be, with no additives, preservatives or chemical fillers, we also use eco-friendly thermal packaging and we reuse boxes whenever we can, recycle/reuse.

The Benefits of a Raw Dog Food Diet
Digestive Needs
The first thing to understand is that dogs are carnivores although they can survive on the omnivorous diet, it does not mean it’s their natural species specific raw food (SARF) diet. The assumption that dogs are natural omnivores is yet to be proven. Although, we have changed the appearance and domesticated these animals, we haven’t changed their internal anatomy and physiology. “Dogs have the internal anatomy and physiology of a carnivore”.
They have a highly elastic stomach designed to hold large quantities of meat, bone, organs, and hide. Their stomachs are simple, with an undeveloped caecum (Feldhamer, G.A. 1999. Mammology: Adaptation, Diversity, and Ecology. McGraw-Hill. pg 260.)
They also have a short foregut and smooth, unsacculated colon. This means food passes through quickly. Vegetable and plant matter, however, needs to sit in the colon for between 12-14 hrs, where nutrients are then extracted, this is why omnivores and herbivores have longer, sacculated colons, larger and longer small intestines. Dogs have none of these, but have the shorter foregut and hindgut consistent with carnivorous animals
Benefits
The benefits from feeding the SARF diet for our hard working dogs is endless, firstly we are strengthening the immune system by introducing a good balance of natural enzymes, fatty acids, proteins, natural fats and minerals. Initially though and with a SARF diet see the amount of faeces being produced from a dog or any other animal will be halved and the rancid smell gone as there are no chemical additives or preservatives. Digestion is improved by providing a natural stomach acidity level, stronger than hydrochloric acid for dogs, providing efficient digestion and a natural barrier against pathogens and parasites. Lean body mass and a healthy shape will be seen, due to their SARF diet being high in natural protein with no carbs or unnatural fats. Naturally clean teeth and healthy gums will be seen after introducing Raw Meaty Bones, the bone is broken up through chewing and scrubs against their teeth, removing plaque and tarter. We will also notice Healthier skin and coat because there are no chemical additives or preservatives building up in the body that are then released through the skin. finally we see a huge improvement on degenerative diseases due to the fact 75-80% of health comes from species appropriate raw food diets.
Changing Over
We recommend and suggest the QUICK CHANGEOVER
This is straightforward and really easy with puppies under the age of 12 months, just go straight from commercial food to their Species Appropriate Raw Food Diet (SARF) please note – WE SHOULD NEVER FAST A PUPPY – just go straight from commercial food to their SARF diet
However, with adult dogs that are over 16-17 months, we do recommend fasting, so this means no food or treats for between 24-36 hrs, by doing this, we ensure a deeper healing by totally emptying their digestive system,allowing the body to focus on the detox, this can create a little hunger and in some cases hunger pukes (yellow bile), but detoxing is a necessary process and will pave the way for a much better detox and smoother changeover for your hard working dog, Please ensure during the detox period you provide plenty of fresh water (we highly recommend using a good quality or filtered water) as this will help dramatically with the detox, by flushing out up to 66% of any chemicals and toxins present in the body, this is due to the fact that an animal’s body is 66% water.
How Much Should I Be Feeding My Dog?
Feeding Info !
Please note the raw feeding calculator has been developed and used for 45 + years, it is proven and works, but is however only a guideline, the amount of food you feed is also determined by the level of exercise and activity your dog/animal receives, some owners can be shocked at the portion of food their dog actually eats/needs in comparison to what the calculated amount reads, it’s important at this point to understand that it isn’t the amount of food an animal eats, that indicates health, it’s more about the amount of REAL natural minerals, electrolytes, enzymes and nutrients the body recieve’s and needs. You may have to adjust the amounts up or down to get the right balance but you will achieve this in no time and your pet/s will be eating the way they are born to and as close as we practicably can to the way nature intended. Species Appropriate Raw Food (SARF) diets are what over 80 million species of animals consume every single day in nature. Remember it’s not about the amount of food we see our dogs or cats consume, its about the physical body condition (as per our body condition chart) as long as they’re drinking, playing, walking, and generally acting in a normal manner, other than the fact they may not be eating the required daily amount or as often as what you think or would like to see, the above is a very good and clear example that you have a happy and healthy fur baby.
