  • What is 3D/4D Meat?
    3D/4D meats are not fit for human consumption. They include meat that is downed, dead, diseased or dying animals. We may use SOME downed animals but only if we 100% know why they were downed. For example we may source beef from a cow that broke a leg and the farmer could no longer use them but we will never source meat that is downed for other reasons like illness or disease. Please keep in mind some products have never been considered human grade such as bone or tripe because humans often don’t eat these but it does not mean they aren’t of highest quality.
  • What Model do you follow?
    We follow a strict prey model raw or PMR style of feeding. Our meals follow 80% meat, 5% liver, 5% other secreting organ, 10% bone ratio which are ratios often found in nature in small prey our carnivores would eat. We do not use artificial vitamins, minerals, grains, fruits or veggies. We believe (backed by science of course) that follow the ratios found in nature and rotating proteins maintains proper balance and variety.
  • Why are fruits and veggies not included in your products?
    Carnivores cannot properly digestive or utilize plant material. This is often why fecal matter is bulky, smelly and companion animals tend to remain hungry. We do provide whole prey options. These herbivores can utilize and properly digest plant matter and is rich in special enzymes herbivores use to digest their food. We whole grind our whole prey so this is included.
  • Don’t my companions need a source of fiber?
    Carnivores naturally source their fiber through fur and feathers. If you are not ok feeding whole prey including our ground whole prey, we do offer a fur and feathers fiber product that can be added to their diet.
  • Why do you not follow AAFCO guidelines?
    We do not follow AAFCO guidelines because its not meant for raw food (which is actually stated on their website).

    Cats, dogs and ferrets are designed to eat a diet of meat, organs and bones anatomically and physiologically.
