The surge in popularity of natural pet food has been a long time coming, and it’s no surprise that we are leading the charge. Today, more dog owners are questioning whether commercial pet foods truly provide the optimal nutrition their furry companions need—from playful puppies to wise seniors. That’s why we are proud to introduce Canid Roots, our Silicon Valley-based subscription raw dog food company dedicated to delivering biologically appropriate, natural meals straight to your doorstep.

Natural pet food, often referred to as BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food), is a diet designed to mimic what dogs would eat in the wild—a balanced mix of raw meat, bones, organs, and vegetables. This concept was popularized by Australian veterinarian Ian Billinghurst in 2001, who suggested a formula of 50% meaty bones, 30% meat, 10% offal, and 10% fruits or vegetables. The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) defines "natural" as food free from artificial chemicals, flavorings, colorings, or preservatives—standards we proudly uphold at Canid Roots.

At Canid Roots, we take the proven benefits of the BARF diet and make them accessible through our carefully crafted recipes and convenient subscription service. Here’s how our products can transform your dog’s health:

Weight Control: Our balanced raw meals promote lean muscle growth and reduce body fat. Free from excess carbs, refined grains, or processed fillers, our food helps keep your dog at a healthy weight. Customers tell us their pups, like Tonic, can’t resist these pre-packaged meals despite being picky eaters.

Skin and Coat: Dogs like Aria have shinier, healthier coats and less shedding since switching to our food. The natural ingredients we use nourish the skin, reducing odor and irritation.

Oral Health: Chewing the raw meaty bones in our recipes naturally cleans teeth, reducing plaque and bad breath—something Tito’s owner noticed after just eight months on our diet.

Hydration: With over 70% water content, our raw food supports kidney and liver function, a stark contrast to the 10% water in typical kibble.

Immune Strengthening: Packed with naturally sourced nutrients, our meals boost your dog’s defenses, leading to happier, more energetic companions like Bubba, who “instantly devours” his Canid Roots food.

Beyond the physical perks, we hear from owners that their dogs thrive emotionally, with increased vitality and well-being. Our commitment to quality—backed by our California Pet Food Processor License (Est # PFP-10025)—ensures every bite supports a longer, healthier life.

There’s no one-size-fits-all BARF diet, but at Canid Roots, we make the transition seamless. Every dog is unique, and our subscription model lets you tailor deliveries (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) to your pup’s needs. Starting is simple:

Gradual Transition: Over about five days, mix our raw food with your dog’s current diet. Introduce different proteins and veggies slowly, watching how your dog responds.

Monitor and Adjust: Whether it’s Aria’s reduced shedding or Happee’s love for every bite, we take the guesswork out of raw feeding. Our pre-portioned meals ensure the right balance of muscle meat, organs, and bones—no prep stress required.

Explore Options: From free 7-day samples to full subscriptions, we offer flexibility. Sign up at canidroots.com to try our top products and see why dogs like Ahri get excited for every meal.

Canid Roots isn’t just food—it’s a movement. Inspired by my love for dogs and our belief that every pup deserves the best, we’re making raw feeding easy, affordable, and effective. Visit canidroots.com today and let us help you start your dog on the path to a healthier, happier life.
