Raw Bistro Pet Fare is a different kind of pet food company. We know how much your furry companions matter to you--we've got dogs and cats of our own, and they're family members we want with us for as long as possible. We believe a balanced, species-appropriate diet from grass-fed beef, free-range poultry and other non-factory-farmed animal protein sources is the best one for pets to live their happiest and healthiest lives. So when we set out to make our own raw pet foods, we partnered with expert formulators in raw nutrition and created recipes based on science and research done by leading holistic veterinarians and nutrition specialists. We also took into account standards set by both AAFCO and NRC to create formulas for optimal vitality and longevity. While raw pet foods are certainly not the norm in the country, we firmly believe they should--and will--be. Many health issues that plaque today's companion animals can be traced to poor and improper nutrition, and the differences after switching to a balanced, species-appropriate raw diet are nothing short of remarkable. We also have a strong commitment to ecologically sound production methods, of local sourcing, supporting family farms and humane treatment of farm animals
