🐄BEEF is a truly misunderstood protein

🐄Often mislead as being one of the culprits to allergies

🐄In our experience it’s often NOT clean fresh beef that causes issue
it’s how it’s been used / prepared that -causes the issue

Cooking proteins; changes their molecular structure,
causing it to eliminate essential minerals within it - making it way less effective and nutritional

Dry food industry uses it’s fat to preserve & attract a dog to eat the food

Fresh RAW BEEF is clean, effective & nutritious
Dogs are physically designed to absorb nutrients from its natural state

RawPetFoodExpress BEEF has
NO preservatives/additives
treat it like your own meat, freeze, defrost responsibly & keep in the fridge

💛OUR BEEF Bone Broth:
Has great anti inflammatory properties,
+ bone marrow - essential vitamins and minerals .

So good to have some in the freezer on hand.

Hi everyone 🤩

Let’s talk PROTEINS ❤️

There’s a lot of myths about PROTEINS in a dogs diet

Dogs need quality clean, PROTEINS for essential body function

They’ve been natural developed to obtain nutrients from RAW PROTEIN such as : beef, lamb/veal, possum, goat, duck, chicken, fish, venison, rabbit

PROTEIN is …
•Amino acids - building blocks for PROTEIN responsible for -
Muscle repair
Immune function
Hormone production

Their bodies cannot produce naturally: arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

A healthy, balanced diet is the best way to ensure your dog gets the amino acids they need - RAW is clean accurate and readily absorbed.
NOTE: Synthetic make ups are not readily absorbed by dogs guts.

•Critical to build, heal & maintain body tissues

•Aids in muscle development & repair

•Protect & regulates body processes for example: overall immune function

•Iron : Crucial for transporting oxygen in the blood.

•Enzymes - supporting connective tissue

•Positive gut health.

•Higher nutrient absorption.
�
🥣 In a dogs diet there needs to be 80% of quality PROTEIN in their diet per week

🐄 🐑 🦌 🐟🐇🐐🦡 🐓🦆🐴🦙🐏

Having a base meal of one of our mixes is great as they hold atleast two different PROTEINS

Each PROTEIN holds different nutrient values

So it’s really important to change or add in different proteins throughout the month to obtain varied goodness in their diet

Next we will touch on different PROTEINS and what their nutritional values are ❤️

Starting RawPetFoodExpress was a passion project from the love of our dogs to wanting to provide the same essential nutrition to other dogs and education to their families

And now we have DOG FOOD CO. In Tuakau - a community hub of quality food not only for dogs but cats too

Our ethos is simple quality products, NZ made, supporting rescues was a big wish list for us too

Our dogs, your dogs, are lucky they have their parents buying RawPetFoodExpress food and giving them loving homes

Rescues are run by good people trying their hardest to help vulnerable animals in need
BUT they need everyone’s help to keep them doing what they do

We’re super proud that we are able with the support of our customers supply them with the best diet RAW

This week 1.2 tonne was donated by RawPetFoodExpress in one pickup !
❤️
This is awesome guys - Thankyou for supporting us , so we can support them in what we do!

This food will get spread far and wide by PawsRestart to other rescues and community animals in need in the North Island

There’s wonderful humans that donate their time to do this - move donations around
So if your ever moving around the North Island reach out to rescues and ask if there’s anything that can be taken to where your going 🤩

Takes a community of people to help make the difference needed!



If you’ve been in lately you’ll have seen that We are busy expanding our shop - exciting times ahead - so much awesome things coming for you all to enjoy!

There will be a designated spot in the shop for you to drop off donations for rescues

Go through your cupboards at home & look for any unused dog or cat equipment, in good clean condition that can be reused :
Blankets
Beds
Crates
Leads
Harnesses
Collars
Toys
Stainless steel bowls

And these will be donated on your behalf to rescues especially local ones

We already have a loose change donation box for The Tuakau Pokeno Cat Rescue

We can all make a difference 🥰

Best wishes
Lukas, Becks & The Team ###
