Raw Necessities started in December 2009 processing and delivering whole raw products to the DIY market.

Over the years demand grew for more convenient ways of feeding raw and so over the latter years we started producing DAFF registered pre-mixes but at the same time insisting that that our main premixes don’t contain bone. We want our pets to chew.

Dogs and cats have to chew/rip/gnaw to clean teeth. *Periodontal disease can become systemic and predispose cats and dogs to problems such as heart failure, hepatic compromise, renal failure, and bone marrow depression. The effect on other parts of the body can have drastic repercussions on the overall health of the pet. Bacteria from the inflamed gums enter the blood and may spread to other organs commonly the heart and kidneys. 

We  believe and years of experience in raw feeding has reinforced the fact that synthetic vitamins and minerals do not need to be added as long as the diet is comprised of meat, bones and organs. However we do stay on top of the raw feeding trends and continue to research to ensure we always provide the best for our own dogs and yours. 

As the only voice for our pets, we need to start to actively read labels and do research and take back the responsibility for the health of our pets. If we don’t fight for them, who will?

 “Whole foods provide whole nutrition, to function properly vitamin D needs magnesium, calcium, omega 3, boron, zinc, and vitamin A and K2. For example, sardines provide all of the above including vitamin D. Synthetic vitamins and minerals don’t contain the co-functioning vitamins and minerals required to work. This is why we can not and should not depend on synthetic vitamins and minerals as found in processed foods.” Kay Beswick ~ Raw Necessities Owner”
