We focus on superfoods such as coconut oil, kelp, and seeds to make each bite rich in micronutrients, vitamins, and enzymes. We also follow the biologically appropriate raw food model (B.A.R.F.) and use an 80:20 ratio of meat-to-produce to ensure that your pets are getting a nutritionally balanced diet that is easy to digest.
