ROOTS RAW

Dehydrated rabbit ears and feet can be great for dogs for several reasons:

1. **Natural Chew**: They provide a satisfying chew for dogs, which can help keep them occupied and prevent boredom.

2. **High Protein**: Rabbit is a lean source of protein, which is essential for your dog's muscle development and overall health.

3. **Low Fat**: These treats are generally low in fat, making them a good option for dogs that may be overweight or need to maintain a healthy weight.

4. **Dental Health**: Chewing on these treats can help promote dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup.

5. **Hypoallergenic**: Rabbit is often considered a novel protein, which can be beneficial for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies to more common proteins like chicken or beef.

Overall, dehydrated rabbit ears and feet can be a healthy and enjoyable treat for your dog!

I still have rabbits, sheep and quail live and will try to do small production of just pieced meat. As we sold our equipment to grind. If you are interested please send me a message. We will be doing cull sheep this fall as well, if your interested pm us. Thank you for all of the support this summer! The website is shut down, so Facebook is best way to get a hold of us!

So unfortunately this past couple weeks were spent finding out I have stage 4 colon cancer. What does this mean for Roots Raw? All our local clients will still be met with same service, we need notice of a week as usual. Unfortunately for other provinces, this means no raw product (unless on occasion in Southern Alberta) we will still try and accommodate out of province pick ups, dry shipping of freeze dried and dehydrated. I’m sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate your business, past or future. We will update out of province come fall.

What a miserable day! Off course we have lambs being born in this blizzard, but while getting shipping labels ready, sipping my coffee, this popped up! The first one kills me lol, I see many of my pupper clients looking at me through side glass and windows and hopefully it never happens 😂 here’s to brighten the blowing snowy crappy morning!

We have been busy planning things for this coming year! One thing that’s important to us is to try reach out to people that aren’t close to big centres. Sure there are butchers around but some folk just don’t like handling all kinds of organs and meat! Reach out if there’s anything you need, we are butchering lambs again this week in hopes to catch up to everything in stock. Look for new Dry products coming online this spring! We as usual do not keep things listed up to date on website, please message us if you don’t see what you’re looking for!!

WHOLE PREY RABBIT $20-SOLD

! We have a bit of a treat for some of you! With having an easier winter so far, our does have done a fabulous job providing our litters, years of breeding allows us good sized litters that are ready to butcher at 12 weeks. That being said we have a litter from a new doe we tried and they just aren’t our type of meat rabbit but they look great and we are offering them as whole prey. So we will kill them and sell them whole. There’s 10 of them, live probably average 4lbs plus. I am coming down to Lethbridge again on Thursday/Friday…im going to post this on Alberta Raw tonight, if anyone on our page would like some please message us. They are $20 each whole..but dead. We will be freezing them right after to ensure cooling. Pic is for attention, not actual rabbits.

This was posted on someone’s page and I got permission to copy and paste…

Recently there was a post about two dogs that passed away from licking the remains of a broken (any)snow globe. I had no idea that a small amount of antifreeze is put into the liquid of the globes. Antifreeze is sweet tasting to dogs are they are naturally drawn to it, but even the tiniest amount is toxic to them and they almost always die as a result of ingesting it.
Please keep you snow globes in a place where they are unlikely to get broken, better yet, don't have them at all if you have pets. If you do have a snow globe that gets broken, remove your animals promptly from the area until a thorough cleaning of floors, carpets, furniture and walls can be accomplished.
Happy and Safe Holidays to you and your pets!

This is important folks, we all know you want as cheap as possible but it comes at a cost. Importing meats from another country to lower costs is what a lot of companies do to keep prices down. Our goal is to stay self sufficient with some local outsourcing if need be from like minded farmers about the way they grow your food. This is a heartfelt goodbye from an Alberta Farmer that resonates the fight Canadian small farms go through. We all feel it, you as well, in our food prices, fuel prices and our home utilities. Let’s hope in the near future there will be some changes for the good.

12/10/2023

We want to thank everybody for supporting us in our startup year(months)for years we have supplied other companies and this year took the leap…Huge changes coming in the New Year, as well as a great promotion! We will be closed over the Holiday week of the 25-1st, please order now if needed over that period. Last week for shipping frozen in the year will be the 12th. Have a safe Holiday season and here’s to a Great 2024 for all!
