BENEFITS
Colorado RAW dog food consists of only fresh, raw ingredients - no nutritional elements of the food are lost during canning or baking.
Our fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, fighting abnormal cells that could become cancerous.
Taurine is an essential amino acid that is only found in raw red meat. Taurine is required for the proper development of the heart.
Raw bones are the best source of calcium for the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth.
Raw food is biologically appropriate for the dog’s digestive system.
And they love it!
The Colorado RAW diet replicates what a wild canid would eat.
A wild canid would hunt for herbivores such as rabbits, birds and small mammals. It would eat nuts and berries and other fruit found in the wild, as well as eggs from unattended bird's nests. The canid would eat its entire prey; flesh, bones, organs, and the digested plant material in the intestines. The result is a diet that is primarily meat and bones, organ meat, green leafy vegetables, fruits, berries and eggs.
