Dogs need to eat a meat-based diet to be their healthiest, so give them what they need! While they live with humans now, dogs are still the carnivores they've always been and their bodies are still built to thrive on a meat-based diet. From their teeth to their saliva to their digestive tract, every part of their anatomy is specialized to break down and pull nutrients from animal meat, organs, and bone.
With Carnos, you can feed a meat-based diet easily and without breaking the bank. Whether you want to DIY your dog's diet or opt for a ready-to-serve complete raw meal option, we've got what you need to meet their needs.

At Carnos, every cut of meat, every organ, and every bone in all of our raw pet food products comes from healthy animals that have been inspected and deemed fit for human consumption (aka we NEVER use 3D/4D meat).
We've been covering some touchy but important raw dog food topics in our Raw Facts series, and today's post is no different.
Is it a fact that there is mold in *all* kibble? No, it's not. But given the ingredients used in commercial kibble, how they are processed, and how kibble in its final form is packaged and stored, finding mold and other harmful components in this kind of pet food is more common than you may think.

It's true, a raw diet *is* the best diet for your dog.
Every dog is an individual and sometimes they'll have specific health issues that require a specific diet other than raw. But as a general rule, feeding your dog a raw diet gives them the best, most well-rounded nutrition in its most bioavailable form, enabling dogs to be their healthiest selves.
At Carnos, we offer a wide variety of products so you can feed raw your way. Our range of truly raw products includes whole animal parts, organ grinds, PMR and BARF model meal base blends, ready-to-serve complete meals, and even healthy treats! Whether you want to build their raw diet from scratch or just grab a roll out of the fridge and serve, we have what you'll need.
A perfect raw feeding tip for November, if we do say so ourselves.
If your dog has a sensitive stomach and you're worried about how their system may handle a switch from kibble to raw, try using turkey as the protein star of their first raw meals. Turkey is a lean protein that tends to be easy on the stomach and can help ease the transition from a kibble diet to a raw diet.
We have plenty of raw, single-protein turkey products that your dog will gobble up - click the link below to find their new favorites! https://hubs.la/Q03ScBwB0
Are grains bad for dogs? Not necessarily! We spoke with certified canine nutritionist Michelle Short to learn about why grain-free diets in the pet food world aren't necessarily all they're cracked up to be.

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.
