Dandelions - you probably see them all over this time of year - are widely known as a w**d, but they're so much more than that. Dandelion provides pollen and nectar for early spring bees, has therapeutic properties, and provides a nutrient-packed snack for both humans and dogs. That’s right, it’s edible!

We know that with humans, physical health is intrinsically linked with mental health. Research has shown that this is also true in our pets. An imbalance of the bacteria in your dog’s gut microbiome can have negative consequences in both their physical and mental health.

Behavioral problems like aggression or anxiety can be fueled by an unhealthy digestive system - the result of a poor diet.

By feeding your dog a truly raw diet—their ancestral diet—you allow them to be their most natural and healthy selves. It may not be what we’re used to, thanks to the commercialization and convenience of over-processed kibble, but a truly raw diet truly is what’s best for our pets.

Dogs are anatomically designed to derive their nutrients from raw meat, organs, and bone - their bodies are built to be able to process them. Alternatively, they struggle to digest and pull nutrients from overly processed kibble and canned food. Kibble also often contains synthetic fillers, preservatives, meat byproducts, and even denatured meat, none of which is good for our pets’ digestive systems. The best way to ensure that they are getting the nutrition they need is by feeding a well-rounded and balanced raw diet of fresh foods - a natural diet.

So go ahead, give your dog the food they were designed to eat and go Truly Raw | https://hubs.la/Q02xypBt0

Have an overly aggressive chewer and worried about feeding them large raw bones? Don't stress, you have options! Try going for a softer raw meaty bone like our Duck Necks or Duck Feet. They'll reap the mental and physical benefits from chomping on these treats, and you won't have to worry about their chewing. Click the link in our bio to try out these softer meaty bone options - they'll thank you for it!

And remember, the following types of bones are *never* safe to feed: cooked bones, weight-bearing bones, machine-cut bones, and bare bones.

Grab a meaty bone for this raw tip of the month! 🥩🍖🍗 https://hubs.ly/Q02tMDvN0

If for any reason you temporarily can’t exercise your dog – maybe they’re recovering from an injury or weather is keeping you house-bound – chewing raw meaty bones provides great physical and mental stimulation, with an added bonus of helping to remove plaque buildup from their teeth. Give them an indoor workout and throw them a (meaty) bone!

About Us

We are a family owned and operated raw pet food manufacturer and distributor located in Hyattsville, Maryland. We produce all of our products using human grade meats, organs, fruits and vegetables. We never use fillers, grains, gluten, nitrates, preservatives, or anything that is not whole raw meat, fruits, and veggies. We do not add any vitamins or minerals to our products either. Our philosophy is, if you cannot pronounce it, it should not be an ingredient! At TQDF, we strongly believe in using whole raw ingredients to provide our fur babies with the essential nutrients they require to live a long, happy, and healthy life.

How We Started.

Peter Beukers started making his own raw diet for his two fur babies, Pece and Tawney (pictured in our logo), out of the necessity of better nutrition than what was being offered commercially. Using human grade meats, organs, fruits and vegetables Peter came up with the Healthy Variety Mix meals for his two fur babies. One day, while visiting his vet, Peter was approached by a concerned pet owner about the health of his two fur babies. She was amazed with their coats, teeth, and definition. She approached Peter later on about making a ground meat mix for their ailing dog and he agreed to share his homemade meals with her. The ailing dog's health flourished and over time, through word of mouth, TQDF came to fruition.

With the help of his son Zach, TQDF continues to provide human grade options for fur babies across the United States with our delivery routes up the east coast, distributors in the Midwest and home delivery with UPS. To view our delivery information CLICK HERE.
