How to Make Feeding a Raw Diet Easier
The month of August is declared as RAWgust in the pet community, and revolves around the celebration and education of raw feeding for pets. TruDog, a top provider of quality raw diet products for dogs, is jumping in on that celebration and helping to make raw feeding easier for pet parents.
With TruDog, they take the hard work out of feeding a raw diet. Many people don’t want to start raw feeding, or stop after a short while, because of both the labor and the mess involved.
TruDog’s purpose is to feed raw dog food in its simplest form without sacrificing nutrition. Their motto is Raw Without the Thaw! Their products are no mess and don’t need to be refrigerated.
They offer easy-to-feed, raw, freeze-dried or gently dehydrated dog food and toppers. They even make a wide variety of limited ingredient treats, even those with only ONE ingredient, like Treat Me Chicken Heart treats.
TruDog aims to provide pets with the raw, biologically appropriate diet nature originally intended for dogs to eat. After all, dogs and wolves share 99% of the same DNA! They use USDA certified beef, high quality, humanely sourced chicken, turkey, and duck, and sustainably produced fish in their products. The ingredients are all natural and made in FDA registered and inspected facilities.
And, because nutritional content is so important to TruDog, they either freeze-dry or genly dehydrate all of their foods, treats and toppers to lock in those valuable nutrients. Their products contain no grains, fillers, by-products and nothing added or artificial. Just good, raw nutrition.

About TruDog:

Today, TruDog is a collection of lovingly crafted, freeze-dried or gently dehydrated, raw foods, toppers, treats, and supplements that support dog wellness. TruDog’s feeding philosophy mimics the holistic, raw food dog diet that Mother Nature intended… wholesome and honest.
