Providing What Dogs Would Naturally Eat in the Wild
At RawFedK9, we are dedicated to feeding dogs the way nature intended—by following the Prey Model Raw (PMR) diet. This approach closely mimics what dogs would naturally consume in the wild, providing them with a diet that is biologically appropriate, species-appropriate, and nutritionally balanced.
Our recipes are composed of raw meats, organs, and bones without the inclusion of fruits, vegetables, or grains. By eliminating unnecessary fillers, we focus on delivering the nutrients dogs need to thrive, supporting their overall health, vitality, and longevity. Here’s a closer look at the high-quality ingredients we use, where they come from, and the specific nutritional benefits they provide.
High-Quality Proteins for Optimal Health
Protein is the foundation of a dog’s diet, providing essential amino acids for muscle growth, repair, and overall well-being. At RawFedK9, we source only the highest-quality proteins, ensuring they are ethically raised and rich in nutrients.
Grass-Fed Meats
Our primary protein sources include grass-fed beef, lamb, and venison. These meats are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and reduce inflammation. They also provide CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), a nutrient known for its anti-cancer properties.
Free-Range Poultry
We use free-range chicken and turkey, which offer lean protein and are excellent sources of essential amino acids. These proteins help maintain muscle mass, support healthy organ function, and provide a sustainable energy source.
Wild-Caught Fish
Our wild-caught salmon are frozen to ensure safety and prevent contaminants like parasites. Salmon is naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for brain health, joint support, and reducing inflammation.
Exotic Meats
For dogs with food sensitivities or allergies to common proteins, we offer a variety of exotic meats. These options not only provide unique nutritional benefits but also add variety to your dog’s diet.
The Power of Organ Meats
Organ meats are often referred to as “nature’s multivitamin” because of their incredible nutrient density. They provide essential vitamins and minerals that play a critical role in your dog’s overall health.
Liver: Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, liver supports immune function, healthy vision, and overall growth. It is also a rich source of iron and zinc.
Heart: Heart meat is an excellent source of taurine, an amino acid critical for heart health. It also contains CoQ10, which supports cardiovascular and cognitive function.
Kidney: Kidney meat delivers B vitamins, selenium, and other minerals vital for energy production and antioxidant support.
Sourcing and Quality Assurance
We take sourcing seriously to ensure the highest quality and safety for your beloved pets. Our meats are grass-fed and pasture-raised whenever possible, with some supplemental feeding during the winter months.

Why No Fruits, Vegetables, or Grains?
Unlike humans, dogs have limited ability to produce amylase, the enzyme needed to break down carbohydrates. Feeding fruits, vegetables, or grains can strain their pancreas and lead to:
Additionally, while plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) are often promoted as healthy, dogs cannot convert ALA into the essential EPA and DHA they need. Dogs obtain these critical fatty acids by consuming herbivores, which have already converted ALA into bioavailable forms of omega-3.
By focusing exclusively on animal-based ingredients, we provide dogs with a balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, ensuring optimal health without unnecessary fillers.
