Our Promise

Quality NZ Raw Food You Can Trust

At The Raw Dog Food Co, we believe dogs deserve real food made from quality ingredients, sourced through a supply chain we know and trust.

We work closely with New Zealand suppliers, farmers, hunters and manufacturing partners to source premium meat and game for our raw dog food range, with a strong focus on antibiotic-free sourcing, freshness, responsible production and minimal processing.

For us, quality starts long before the food reaches your dog’s bowl.

New Zealand Meat & Game

Wherever possible, our ingredients are sourced from established New Zealand meat processors, farmers and wild-game suppliers.

Our range includes grass-fed farmed meats alongside wild New Zealand game, giving raw feeders access to a wide variety of proteins without unnecessary fillers, preservatives or heavily processed ingredients.

It’s simple food, sourced with purpose.

Our Commitment to Antibiotic-Free Sourcing

We are committed to sourcing meat and game that is free from routine antibiotics wherever applicable.

Wild proteins such as venison, goat, hare and possum come from animals living naturally in the New Zealand environment, while our farmed proteins are selected from trusted suppliers with a focus on quality and responsible production.

We also avoid unnecessary preservatives, fillers and artificial ingredients.

The result is straightforward raw food that allows you to know exactly what you are putting into your dog’s bowl.

From Our Suppliers to Your Dog’s Bowl

Keeping our supply chain straightforward means we can work closely with the people responsible for sourcing and processing our food.

Rather than relying on long chains of distributors and middlemen, we work directly with our manufacturing and supply partners to bring quality raw ingredients from the source, through production and freezing, and ultimately to your door.

This also allows us to offer one of the widest selections of traditional, wild and less-common proteins for raw feeders throughout New Zealand.

Responsible Sourcing

We’re proud to support New Zealand producers and work with suppliers who take food quality and responsible production seriously.

Our wild game is supplied through established hunters and processors, while our farmed meats come through trusted New Zealand supply chains.

Products are processed through appropriate manufacturing facilities and handled under the food-safety and regulatory requirements applicable to pet food production in New Zealand.

Naturally Simple

Raw feeding doesn’t need to be complicated.

Our focus is on providing quality meat, bone, organ and other natural ingredients that give dog owners the flexibility to choose how they want to feed.

Whether you prefer our Ready-Made Raw Meals, individual proteins, wild and novel proteins, or ingredients for DIY raw feeding, we aim to make quality raw food easy to access and easy to understand.

We don’t believe in adding ingredients simply to make a label longer.

The Raw Dog Food Co Promise

Our promise is simple:

To source quality New Zealand meat and game, prioritise antibiotic-free ingredients wherever applicable, maintain high production standards and provide raw food we are proud to feed to our own dogs.

We will continue working with trusted suppliers, expanding the variety available to raw feeders and making quality raw dog food easier to access throughout New Zealand.

Because what goes into your dog’s bowl matters.
