BOP Prey Pet Food

09/06/2026

One of the most common questions we get at Raw Essentials is: "How do I make sure my pet is getting everything they need?"

The answer lies in nature. In the wild, cats and dogs don't just eat one thing. They hunt a variety of prey that changes with the seasons. They don't just eat the meat; they eat the meat, bones, organs, and tripe. At Raw Essentials, we mirror this biological blueprint to ensure your pet achieves optimal, balanced nutrition.

The "Whole Prey" Approach
Feeding an all-meat diet is not only incomplete; it’s dangerous. To thrive, your pet needs the full synergy of Meat, Bones, Organs & (for dogs) Green Tripe.

Ready to find the right balance? Pop in-store or chat with our nutrition advisors online today to get a free personalised plan for your pet.

Kittens – the perfect time to start a raw diet
Kittens take naturally to raw food, enjoying mince blends (meat, bone, and organ), bite-sized meat chunks, and even a chew on raw meaty bones like chicken necks.

A raw diet offers an excellent balance of nutrition, dental care, and mental stimulation for growing feline friends. It’s a way of feeding that aligns with what they’re naturally designed to eat.

Get your kitten started on raw today. Visit us in-store and our veterinary-trained team can create a feeding plan and set you up with everything you need for the first week.

Pets & Their Teeth
Raw meaty bones are a natural way to help keep both cats’ and dogs’ teeth clean. Their teeth are designed to tear and chew meat, tendons, and bones.

Offering a healthy, raw-fed cat or dog a raw meaty bone every one to two days can help reduce tartar build-up, while also adding nutritional value and enjoyment to their meals.

The "Superfood" Your Dog Is Dreaming Of

If you’re looking for the ultimate functional food, look no further than Green Tripe. It’s the unbleached, minimally washed stomach of a ruminant—and it’s a nutritional powerhouse for your dog.

Why Green Tripe is Essential: Natural Probiotics: It’s a rich source of Lactobacillus acidophilus, a "good bug" that supports a healthy gut microbiome.

Immune Support: These probiotics have been shown to have positive immune-modulatory and cell regenerative effects.

Digestive Hero: Helps improve f***l consistency and can significantly aid recovery for dogs with sensitive tummies.

Anti-Inflammatory: Supports an anti-inflammatory response in the gut, making it essential for good gut health.

We are incredibly lucky in New Zealand to have access to this nutrient-dense, unprocessed superfood. At Raw Essentials, we keep it 100% naturally raw to preserve these live beneficial bacteria—just as nature intended.
