🐾 Why choose Canid Roots 🐾

Because your dog’s body was designed to thrive on real food.

At Canid Roots, we believe better health starts at the foundation. That means feeding dogs in a way that supports their biology, not fights against it.

✨ Real, natural ingredients.
No fillers. No artificial preservatives. Just high quality, minimally processed ingredients that support better nutrient absorption and overall wellness.

✨ Convenient, customized feeding.
Raw feeding does not have to be complicated. Our tailored subscriptions are delivered right to your door so you can spend less time prepping and more time loving your dog.

✨ Built from real experience.
Canid Roots was born from a simple mission to give dogs a healthier life than kibble. What started at home grew into a brand dedicated to longevity, happiness, and whole body health.

✨ Better health outcomes you can see.
Dog parents often notice improvements in digestion, energy, coat quality, hydration, and overall vitality when dogs are fed moisture rich, species appropriate food.

✨ Biologically appropriate nutrition.
We follow the BARF model, using raw meat, organs, and bones to mimic what dogs are naturally designed to eat.
This is not about trends.
This is about foundations.
This is about feeding dogs like family.

🐶 Real food. Real results.

The body wants to heal. ✨

Healing does not happen by fighting the body. It happens when we support it.

At Canid Roots, we believe the universal key to healing starts with the basics:

• Real, nutrient dense food
• Fewer toxins
• Daily movement
• Respecting how the body was designed to function

When dogs are overwhelmed by ultra processed food and constant additives, the body struggles to keep up. When we simplify and nourish instead, the body can do what it was always meant to do.

🐾 Heal by supporting nature, not working against it.
🐾 Better food creates better health.

This is not about quick fixes. It is about foundations.
It is about longevity. It is about giving dogs what they deserve.

Many common dog issues don’t start with age or breed.
They start in the bowl.

What we often label as “normal”
- bad breath
- weight gain
- itchy skin
- digestive issues
- chronic inflammation
are frequently symptoms of ultra processed food.

Kibble is made for shelf life, not biology.
Rendering strips nutrients, destroys enzymes, and replaces real nourishment with fillers and synthetic additives.

Dogs are carnivores. Their bodies are designed for real, species appropriate food
- meat
- organs
- bones

When you feed real food, you support
- strong teeth and jaws
- healthy digestion
- balanced weight
- better skin and coat
- lasting energy and vitality

Health doesn’t come from marketing labels. It comes from what you put in the bowl.

Feed with intention.
Feed real.
Feed raw.
Feed Canid Roots.

Why raw matters. 🥩🐾

Most kibble is made using a process called rendering
where leftover animal materials are boiled at high heat to create shelf-stable “meals” and fats. While this extends shelf life, it strips away natural enzymes, vitamins, and nutrients and replaces them with synthetic additives.

Dog food labels often use vague terms like meat meal or animal by-product meal without telling you exactly what animals were used or how they were processed.

At Canid Roots, we believe dogs deserve better!

Dogs are carnivores by design. Their bodies thrive on real, species-appropriate nutrition meat, organs, and bone NOT ultra-processed fillers.

Raw feeding supports:
• Digestion
• Immune health
• Energy
• Dental health
• Longevity

Because real food fuels the body. And intention matters.
Feed raw. Feed with purpose.

Start the New Year strong!

Want to understand raw feeding beyond trends and opinions? Start with education.

At Canid Roots, we believe informed paw parents make the best decisions for their dogs. That’s why we always encourage learning the why behind species appropriate nutrition.

These books helped shape how we think about canine biology, commercial pet food, and what dogs are truly designed to eat.

🐾 From understanding raw and natural nutrition
🐾 To uncovering how commercial pet food became the norm
🐾 To exploring the science behind dry versus raw diets

One truth shows up again and again
Dogs thrive when we feed are in alignment with their biology.

As Dr Jean Dodds says
“Food is medicine or poison depending on what you choose.”

Whether you are just starting your raw journey or deepening your knowledge, education is empowering.

We are here to guide you with transparency, integrity, and love for dogs.

Because your dog deserves food that fuels a longer, healthier, happier life 🤍

The 3 B’s of real dog nutrition 🐾

Not all dog food is created equal. At Canid Roots we believe food should work with your dog’s biology not against it.

Here is what truly matters 👇

Biologically Appropriate
- Dogs are designed to eat real meat organs and bone. Not ultra processed pellets made for human convenience. When you feed what aligns with their species biology you support stronger digestion energy and longevity.

Bioavailable
- Nutrition only matters if the body can actually use it. Fresh unprocessed ingredients are naturally absorbed by your dog’s body. Heat treated kibble relies on synthetic vitamins sprayed on after cooking. Real food equals real absorption.

Balanced
- A proper diet is not just muscle meat. True balance includes bone minerals organ nutrients omega fats and natural trace minerals that dogs instinctively need to thrive.

This is why we do what we do.
Whole food. Real ingredients. Purpose driven nutrition.

If you are ready to feed your dog the way nature intended visit www.canidroots.com and join the Canid Roots family 🐶❤️

Because longevity starts in the bowl.

5 Human Foods That Are Actually Great for Dogs 🐾
At Canid Roots, we believe in feeding our pups the way nature intended, with real, whole, nutrient rich foods.

🍎 APPLES
A refreshing source of fiber and vitamin C. Just remove the seeds and core and your pup is good to go.

🎃 PUMPKIN
A digestion superhero. Pumpkin is packed with fiber and helps promote consistent, healthy poops.

🥕 CARROTS
Crunchy, delicious, and amazing for dental health. Plus they support eye health with natural beta carotene.

🫐 BLUEBERRIES
Tiny but mighty. Loaded with antioxidants that help protect cells and support longevity.

We traded real food for convenience. Our dogs paid the price.

For decades the pet industry chose what was easy to make, easy to ship, and easy to store. High heat. Heavy processing. Fillers. Synthetic sprays. Long shelf life.
And somewhere along the way, we forgot what dogs were actually built to eat.

But nature never changed.
Their bodies still crave real muscle, organs, bones, and fresh protein.
Their biology still points back to the same truth

Real food heals. Real nutrition transforms. Raw feeding hits different.

Shinier coats
Smaller poops
Cleaner teeth
Better digestion
Happier pups
Longer lives

That is what happens when you feed them the way their ancestors ate.
Not because it is trendy but because it is biologically correct.

Kibble was created for convenience.
Raw was created by nature.

At Canid Roots we believe dogs deserve better.
Better food. Better health. Better lives.
Because they are family and family deserves real nutrition that actually makes a difference.

Trust their biology. Feed raw.
Feed Canid Roots.

🐾✨ Let’s change the future of dog health together.
