We Feed Raw
We Feed Raw is a company that provides fresh, frozen raw meals for dogs. Their food is produced using high-pressure processing which eliminates most harmful bacteria that could make your pup sick, as well as screening their foods before leaving their warehouse. They use human grade meats while following industry best practices and precautions.
They provide customized meal plans designed to fit the unique needs and weight requirements of each dog, offering six protein choices such as chicken, turkey, duck, beef, lamb and venison. You can order individual ingredients a la carte, or opt for their pre-portioned Essential boxes that offer convenience and flexibility.

Dr. Harvey’s
Dr. Harvey Cohen began crafting human-grade foods for pets in the 1980s after seeing that commercial pet foods contained many chemicals and artificial ingredients. His Oracle grain-free food provides raw veggies, eggshells, mussels, and is tailored to AAFCO nutritional levels for optimal nutrient absorption. Furthermore, Paradigm low glycemic food helps dogs that need weight reduction lose weight more efficiently.
This company provides complete foods, but their primary products are pre-mixes designed to be mixed with proteins and oils for ease of feeding a raw diet.
These recipes combine organic vegetables, fruits, and wholesome meats for optimal digestion and health in their animal consumers. Free of GMOs, fillers, artificial flavors or colors and fortified with vitamins and minerals while including probiotics to promote gut health, these meals include omega-3 rich Omega-to-Bowl recipes which may have more protein per bowl. The Oracle recipe stands out by being higher in omega-3 than either Veg-to-Bowl or Canine Health & Shine versions – read on!
