Why Go Raw?
At Go Raw Pet Food, we believe every dog deserves fresh, minimally processed food made with real ingredients. Our mission is to provide balanced raw nutrition that helps pets thrive while giving owners confidence in what they're feeding. Here's how our journey began.
We’re a family of five from Huffman, Texas. In 2018, we lost our beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback, Pipa, to cancer at just three years old, only a week after her diagnosis. It broke our hearts and it was devastating to watch the pain of our five- and six-year-old children lose their best friend.
While searching for answers, we came across a blunt response from someone in South America:
"You live in America—you feed your dog out of a bag. My dogs have never had cancer. We feed them real meat from the butcher."
Those words sparked a mission to learn more about how real food can support a dog's health.
After sharing our professionally formulated raw recipes with friends and family and watching one dog after another thrive, we launched Go Raw Pet Food. Today, we're proud to provide fresh, USDA-sourced ingredients with no processed fillers—just balanced raw nutrition designed to help dogs live healthier, happier lives.
We've set ourselves apart as a different kind of raw dog food company.Â
- We make everything by hand, breaking down proteins in-house and carefully measuring every ingredient for our small 30-pound batches.
- Our recipes combine two to three protein sources to help fill nutritional gaps without relying on excessive supplementation. Nutrients that are commonly lacking, such as zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese, iron, iodine, and selenium, are naturally provided by pairing light and dark proteins and incorporating carefully selected superfood ingredients.Â
- We incorporate grass-fed beef green tripe in our raw recipes. This unique ingredient is sourced from a licensed butcher authorized to sell rinsed green tripe. Unlike bleached tripe, which has little nutritional value, green tripe naturally contains beneficial enzymes and probiotics.
- We also do not use High Pressure Pasteurization (HPP) for bacteria mitigation. HPP denatures proteins, eliminating not only harmful bacteria but also the beneficial bacteria that support gut health and immune function.
- We stand behind our food with our Clean Bowl Guarantee. First-time customers can receive a refund of up to $100 if their dog doesn't love it. In more than eight years of business, we've only had to honor that guarantee three times.
- Go Raw Pet Food has an incredible 90% reorder rate among first-time customers. Once you see the quality and your dog loves the taste, you'll understand why.
And lastly, we value each and every dog we serve like our own. Feed them with love, because they're family.
