This week on The Groomer Next Door podcast we continue our discussion on nutrion. Raw diet is the topic and we continue to find quality guests who have backgrounds to support the conversation. You deserve to have information from a quality source and I want to deliver it to you.

In early 2000, our founder Matt Koss discovered that his dog, Luna, was displaying early signs of renal failure. After exhausting all other methods, Matt took the advice of a holistic veterinarian who recommended switching Luna to a diet based on bones and raw food (also known as BARF or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food), which mimics how an animal would consume food in the wild.

With a renewed sense of hope, Matt created his own species appropriate pet food for Luna. After a short time on the new raw diet, not only did her appetite drastically improve, but she also showed an increase in energy and overall happiness. After seeing the powerful results of raw feeding firsthand, Matt set out to bring Primal to market so that other pets could enjoy a happier, healthier, more vibrant life.

Since refining and enhancing Matt’s first homemade recipe, our mission has been focused on elevating the health of pets through species appropriate nutrition. As passionate pet owners, we understand the care and concern that goes into choosing a source of nutrition for your companion. That’s why we’ve developed products that make it easier than ever to keep your pet’s diet as close to nature as possible.

Every product in the Primal Pet Foods lineup is produced using the highest quality ingredients, including 100% antibiotic- and steroid-free USDA human-edible meats, poultry, and game in addition to certified organic produce* and unrefined vitamins and minerals.

We believe every pet deserves to live life to the fullest. That’s why all of our products contain the highest quality wholesome ingredients, including 100% USDA edible-grade meats and certified organic produce, to fuel a happy, healthy, vibrant lifestyle for years to come.

By offering your pet our raw food formulas, you’re providing them with a diet that closely mimics their natural eating habits in the wild. Through the use of species appropriate, highly digestible food products, Primal Formulas offer a better way for dogs and cats to assimilate essential nutrients.

Primal Formulas, Mixes and Grinds are made with fresh, antibiotic- and steroid-free whole muscle meat, organ meat and meaty bones with no added hormones. This combination of high-quality protein provides the essential amino acids, fatty acids, active enzymes and natural-source calcium necessary to support the overall health of your pet.

Our Formulas and Mixes incorporate essential vitamins and minerals through certified organic fruits and vegetables. You’ll never find synthetic supplements in our products — only unrefined, food-based nutrients to support immune, circulatory and digestive health.

We only use USDA edible-grade ingredients. There are no pet-grade meats in any of our products. Primal Formulas contain meats, poultry and game sourced from 100% vegetarian-fed animals that are processed and inspected under strict USDA guidelines for safety and sanitation. All proteins in our products are procured from sustainable ranches in the United States, New Zealand, Australia and Europe.
