Whilst there are raw brands of dog food out there, most of them come with problems:

1 - invariably supplements are added, but as they are the synthetic ones made in a laboratory, often from petro-chemicals, so they can't be termed food by any stretch of the imagination. They are toxic and harmful especially when used over an extended period. (These 'supplements' MAY offer some support to chronically deficient beings if used over a SHORT period.)

2 - dogs need to crunch up on whole bones to keep their teeth clean and to massage their gums. By adding ground bones to the food, certainly this helps supply the essential macro minerals, but does nothing for the health of their teeth.

3. Whilst frozen food is much more nutritious than cooked food, some damage still occurs. Try in include some fresh meat into the diet every week.

The best ones I know are:

Australia - Organic Paws in Queensland, Tucker Tub (ONLY their raw food) in Victoria and Boy and Bear in WA.
America - Souly raw and My Pet Carnivore
Canada - Carnivora, EvolutionRaw, Big Country Raw (but I suggest you avoid the supplements)

However all still need the addition of whole bones to crunch on for oral health. Please be aware that I don't necessarily keep up with any changes they may make, so the onus is still on you to check them out.

In these uncertain times of food shortages, I suggest you stock up on freeze dried raw brands. However please check the ingredients carefully for the addition of questionable supplements as these are unsuitable at best and harmful at worst.

I don't believe freeze dried raw food is as good as fresh or freshly frozen meat, but certainly they're not as bad as canned or dry food. So fill your freeze first!

Buy from farmers markets or local farmers if you can. They are more inclined to look after you than supermarkets/grocery stores, where you're just a number.

Or better still, buy direct from farmers. Eatwild lists farms in America who care for their animals.

I've had good feedback from SevenSons in America.

Shaded Grove Farm Market in Mississippi serves half of America.
