The Natural Way to Feed
How dogs are genetically designed to eat - discover species-appropriate nutrition that honors your dog's biological needs.
Because a Happy Dog Starts With the Right Diet
You want your dog to thrive, not just survive. That's why more informed pet parents are choosing a raw food lifestyle. At Raw Gold, we believe in feeding dogs the way nature designed them to eat: real meat, real nutrients, real results.
Species Appropriate Nutrition
Species Appropriate Food, Raw Feeding, Bones And Raw Food, Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, BARF… these are all terms describing how to feed your dog (or cat) the way its digestive system has been designed to function.
Not with commercial food made of inappropriate ingredients like maize, corn, and plant-based protein, but with raw bones, raw meat, vegetable matter, and other natural raw ingredients that align with their biological needs.
The Wolf Connection
The basic principal in feeding dogs raw food lies in the proven fact that dogs are descended from the grey wolf. Scientific research in The Genetics of the Dog (edited by Elaine A. Ostrander and Anatoly Ruvinsky) confirms this ancestral connection.
Only 2% DNA Difference Between Dogs and Wolves
"Dogs may be domesticated, but their digestive systems haven't changed much. Just like their ancestors, they thrive on raw, natural food."
Only 2% DNA difference between dogs and wolves, compared to 7.5% difference with coyotes.
If we were to place the internal organs and digestive system of the grey wolf and a German Shepherd Dog side by side, experts would be unable to tell which belonged to which animal! The internal workings of both grey wolves and modern dogs are identical.
So why wouldn't we feed them the same way?
The Problem with Commercial Food
Commercial pet food became BIG business in the last few decades, with multi-million dollar companies heavily investing in 'educating' veterinarians and dog owners about the necessity of their products.
What doesn't make sense is that the basis of most commercial foods today is grain, rice or corn — ingredients a wild carnivore would never naturally consume.
"Have you ever seen a wolf with a stove?"
The high temperatures involved in producing dog pellets destroy essential vitamins like E and C, while a high percentage of the protein in most commercial dog foods is plant-based rather than animal-based.

Raw Gold Products That Deliver These Benefits !!!
Our complete range of species-appropriate raw meals is formulated to provide all the benefits of natural feeding. Each product is made from human-grade ingredients and nutritionally balanced for optimal canine health.
Free Range Chicken Complete Minced Meal
Our source of protein is real meat from human-grade free range chicken. Chicken protein is of exceptional quality, is highly digestible and supplies all the essential amino acids dogs need for a healthy life.
In addition, chicken is free of hydatid tapeworms. Our chicken is collected directly from the farm and certified free of growth hormones, growth stimulants and routine antibiotics.
Our premix
The Raw Gold Premix, added to our raw food, has been designed by an Animal Nutritionist to take care of any potential nutrient deficiencies. Its inclusion in Raw Gold ensures the health and well-being of our dogs.
Duck With Vegetables Complete Minced Meal
Our protein source is human-grade free range duck, to which we have added glucosamine and chondroitin, both essential for healthy joint cartilage, and fresh seasonal vegetables. Duck is a ‘cooling’ food, which aids in bringing down inflammation throughout the body. The addition of glucosamine helps lubricate dogs’ joints for less painful movement and reduces inflammation in the joints.
Chondroitin, when used in conjunction with glucosamine, has an even more beneficial effect on dogs’ joints. As a novel protein, duck is excellent for dogs with sensitivities to other animal proteins. Dogs diagnosed with cancer can benefit from eating duck as it naturally contains cancer-protective B vitamins. Duck meat is low in saturated fats and contains the antioxidants zinc and selenium which help boost the immune system. In addition, the natural omega-3 fatty acids in duck help to keep dogs’ skin and coat healthy and shiny. We also add our vitamin and mineral premix, designed especially for us by an animal nutritionist. Taurine, an essential amino acid for cats is added, which also contributes to heart health in dogs.
Venison Muscle Meat
With the exception of fish, venison is the healthiest meat for your dog’s heart. Venison can add some variety to your dog’s diet, while giving him or her the protein necessary to build strong bones and muscles. Venison has fewer calories, less fat, and more iron than any other type of meat. Venison is also very high in B vitamins, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, and copper. Since venison is a novel protein, it may help reduce allergens and skin irritations in pets with food-related issues.

Warning
The venison used in our products comes from game that has been hunted using either buckshot or bullets. Our main suppliers maintain rigorous protocols and employ sensitive metal detectors to ensure the removal of any fragments during processing. However it is essential to be aware that small pieces of buckshot may still be present in the venison meat, despite our diligent efforts to minimize their presence.
While the likelihood of encountering buckshot in our venison is extremely low, we cannot guarantee its complete absence and we recommend practicing due care when handling and serving our venison products. Although our suppliers employ stringent measures to minimize any potential risks, it is always prudent to be mindful of the situation.
Your pet’s safety is of paramount importance to us. We appreciate your understanding and trust in Raw Gold’s commitment to quality and transparency.
All Raw Gold products are made from human-grade ingredients, flash-frozen to preserve nutrients, and formulated to the highest standards for complete and balanced nutrition.
What Dog Parents Are Saying
I have 6 German Shepherds on Raw Gold. We never go to the vet. They’re super healthy with shiny beautiful coats. I would never feed anything else ever.
Annette
Since we switched to Raw Gold, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my dogs’ coats, teeth, and health. The food is high-quality and doesn’t have any unnecessary things added. Even my fussy eater wolfs his food down with glee.
