Real Food For Dogs & Cats

There was a time when if I heard people say that they loved their dog or cat, I thought they were nuts. After all, how could you love a furry carnivore? Then, in 2016 while visiting a friend in south Texas, one of her two dogs would curl up at my feet whenever I was sitting on the living room sofa. There was something very sweet about it. I took her out for walks a couple of times and to the beach in Galveston, but didn't think much of it until a few days after arriving back in Los Angeles. Damn, I missed that dog. Suddenly, I was one of “those people” I once laughed at. Luckily, my friend consented to let me have the dog and a few weeks later I flew to Texas and brought her back to LA. Now, a bonafide pet lover, I wanted the best for Ginger. She would no longer eat the kibble she was raised on so I wasn’t sure what to feed her until I watched the  documentary, Pet Fooled, which jump-started my pet food research. What I learned in the next few months was both shocking and eye-opening. First, the bad news:

I wanted to know when, if ever, any company made true species-appropriate food for dogs (or cats). My research led me not to a company, but to the food indigenous hunters fed their dogs that lived until the age of 20 and older. Depending on where the native people lived they hunted various ungulates (deer, elk, bison, moose or caribou). Knowing that these ungulates where the preferred prey of wolves and wild canines, it was natural for the people to share the muscle, organs and bones with their domesticated dogs. Today it's believed that canines prefer ungulates instinctually because their muscle tissue contains energy-storage molecules and chemical messengers, called lipids, that treat and prevent chronic disease. Modern dietary science tells us that canines (and felines) need to consume whole prey or the equivalent (muscle, marrow bones, secreting organs and parts of the digestive tract which contain digestive enzymes) to maintain optimum health and wellness:

• Muscle supplies protein and healthy fat for energy
• Heart is rich in amino acids; potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and B-vitamins
• Secreting organs supply a host of minerals and fatty acids​
• Bone provides calcium to maintain bone strength
• Marrow contains collagen, glucosamine and iron, for joint health
• Digestive Enzymes create fermentation and convert protein into amino acids

RAWsome Meals are formulated to replicate the key elements of whole prey and include the digestive enzymes absolutely essential to the digestive health of our furry carnivore pets. Because our human-grade facility cannot process unwashed ungulate digestive tract 1/3 of each meal is whole ground rabbit complete with the digestive enzymes, vegetables and grasses the rabbit consumed. The other two-thirds consists of 70% ungulate muscle, 10% ungulate heart, 10% ungulate secreting organ mix and 10% ungulate powdered marrow-bone to create a species appropriate meal consisting of big game and whole small prey that's designed to support and maintain optimal health and wellness. 

RAWsome Meals are optimized for healthy pets and may not be suitable for animals on some medications. Consult a nutrition-trained vet for specific dietary advice.
