We stumbled upon the raw diet several months ago for our dog, Duncan, who is the most picky eater I've ever met. We talked with our vet extensively before changing his diet (which I recommend before you consider any changes for your pet!) and our vet felt that switching Duncan to a raw diet might help him gain some weight. He had consistently been 10-20% under his ideal body weight and simply will not eat. We saw an immediate change in Duncan after starting him on a homemade BARF diet. He had more energy and started eating everything we put in front of him.While the results were great, it was a major pain for us to make his food. It would take about 2 hours to produce a batch that would feed him for a week. Many of the specialty pet stores in our area did carry pre-made raw meals for dogs, but most of them contained ingredients unsuitable for dogs (corn, grains, garlic, onions and other unnecessary fillers) and they were very expensive!
It has been our goal since then to develop a line of high quality, all natural, raw dog food that won't break the bank. We also wanted to focus on the most exotic meats, such as elk, venison and bison. These meats are great for dogs because they are grass fed (great for dogs with grain allergies!). The elk and venison are very lean meats and high in protein, which are great for our carnivore dogs. We only add minimal vegetables and essentials such as bone meal powder (for calcium) to give your dog the vitamins and minerals that might be missing from the raw meat alone. Our raw dog food is mostly meat and has no filler!
