We break down the top options with expert insight, so you can choose the best raw diet for your dog—without the guesswork.
Welcome to Canada’s Raw Food Revolution for Dogs
Over the past few years, Canadian pet owners have become more aware, more informed, and more determined to give their dogs the very best—especially when it comes to food. That’s why the market for raw dog food brands in Canada has exploded.
But with that growth comes something else: confusion.
Which brands are actually made in Canada?
Which uses real, whole-food ingredients?
Which support long-term health—and which are just well-marketed kibble in disguise?
At Raw Fed & Furry, we’ve done the research for you.We don’t just carry raw food we curate the best Canadian raw dog food brands that align with our values and yours.
Why Raw Dog Food? A Quick Refresher
Whether you’re new to raw or a seasoned raw feeder, it’s worth revisiting why so many pet parents are making the switch:
Better digestion
Shinier coats
Improved energy and mobility
Smaller, firmer stools
Fewer additives and preservatives
Raw diets mimic what dogs are biologically built to eat—whole meats, organs, bones, and nutrient-rich produce. And when sourced ethically and prepared properly, they can transform your dog’s health from the inside out.
The Problem: Too Many Options, Not Enough Clarity
Search “Canada raw dog food brands” and you’ll get hundreds of results. National brands. Local startups. Dehydrated, frozen, freeze-dried. Kibble companies pretending to be raw. Pet owners are flooded with choices and left to figure it out on their own.
We hear it every day:
“What’s the difference between Canino and Bold by Nature?”
“Which is better for my senior dog?”
“Is raw really worth the price?”
“How do I know what’s actually in the food?”
That’s why this page exists—to simplify your decision and introduce you to trusted Canadian raw brands, backed by local support and honest guidance.
