Attention DIY raw feeders: do you ever incorporate seafood into your dog's raw diet?
One of our favorite things to incorporate into raw meals for dogs are sardines - and yes, you can feed them whole! Sardines are a great natural source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Vitamin D, and the best news of all - they're back in stock!
Toss our Whole Sardines into your dog's next raw bowl at mealtime and they'll be licking their bowl clean. Make sure you're feeding 1.5-2oz of sardines per pound of food in your pet's meal.

A truly balanced raw diet for dogs requires a variety of whole foods (and potentially supplements!) in addition to meat, bones, and organs in order to ensure that our pets are getting the well-rounded, quality nutrition they need to thrive.

The short answer: Yes you can!
But not *any* bone. Raw meaty bones are a great source of key nutrients for dogs, not to mention chomping away on one helps to clean their teeth and exercise their minds. However, not all bones are created equal and some can actually harm your dog!

About Us
We are a family owned and operated raw pet food manufacturer and distributor located in Hyattsville, Maryland. We produce all of our products using human grade meats, organs, fruits and vegetables. We never use fillers, grains, gluten, nitrates, preservatives, or anything that is not whole raw meat, fruits, and veggies. We do not add any vitamins or minerals to our products either. Our philosophy is, if you cannot pronounce it, it should not be an ingredient! At TQDF, we strongly believe in using whole raw ingredients to provide our fur babies with the essential nutrients they require to live a long, happy, and healthy life.
How We Started.
Peter Beukers started making his own raw diet for his two fur babies, Pece and Tawney (pictured in our logo), out of the necessity of better nutrition than what was being offered commercially. Using human grade meats, organs, fruits and vegetables Peter came up with the Healthy Variety Mix meals for his two fur babies. One day, while visiting his vet, Peter was approached by a concerned pet owner about the health of his two fur babies. She was amazed with their coats, teeth, and definition. She approached Peter later on about making a ground meat mix for their ailing dog and he agreed to share his homemade meals with her. The ailing dog's health flourished and over time, through word of mouth, TQDF came to fruition.
With the help of his son Zach, TQDF continues to provide human grade options for fur babies across the United States with our delivery routes up the east coast, distributors in the Midwest and home delivery with UPS. To view our delivery information CLICK HERE.
