Braw Dog Ingredients

We won’t use any ingredients from unknown sources or to make up weight and fill up your dog.  That’s exactly why commercial dog food is so questionable!  We source all of our ingredients from highly reputable fresh grocery stores.  Yes, really, we walk the aisles and hand select each and every fresh ingredient for every batch.

ALL of our ingredients are sourced in the USA, every single one.  Our meat is all USDA approved prime, lean cuts without added hormones, antibiotics or sodium, and all our produce is non-GMO.

We’ve chosen each and every ingredient for functional reasons, to optimize the nutrient profile of our meals to deliver absolutely fabulous nutrition to your dog.  And it’s not just about choosing the right ingredients, it’s about perfectly balancing each ingredient to deliver the right balance of nutrients.  Because of this, we only need absolutely minimal mineral supplementation to complete our nutrient profile.
