Step away from the biscuit bowl. Think kibble is the only way to feed your pet? Think again! Modern pet food often lacks the raw, bioavailable nutrients vital for optimal pet health. Raw Essentials provides your pet with the natural species appropriate nutrition they crave, just like their ancestors. Meat, bones, organs - the way nature intended! . . . . #rawessentials #rawessentialsnz #rawpetfood #rawdogfood #rawdogdiet #naturalpetfood #rawfeedingcommunity #rawcatfood #rawcatdiet
