Dear Pawsome Raw Family,

As the year draws to a close, we want to take a moment to say thank you - truly. Thank you for trusting us with something so precious: your pets’ health, wellbeing, and nutrition.

This year has reminded us how special our community is. From loyal long-standing clients to those who joined the raw journey for the first time, you are the reason Pawsome Raw exists and continues to grow.

From Myself and the entire Pawsome Raw team, we wish you and your families - both two-legged and four-legged - a peaceful, joyful festive season filled with wagging tails, happy purrs, and plenty of shared moments.

May the New Year bring health, balance, and many happy meals ahead. 🐾

While headlines focus on bacteria in raw, a bigger hidden threat lurks in many dry kibbles ▶ mycotoxins.

These toxic compounds (aflatoxins, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, etc.) come from molds on grains like corn, wheat, and rice, the staples in highly processed pet foods. Mycotoxins are heat-stable, surviving extrusion, and have triggered recalls, causing pet illnesses and in some cases, deaths.

Raw feeding?

At Pawsome Raw, we’re focused on fresh, high-quality meat with no grains, negating the mycotoxin risk. Our meat-based meals prioritize safety and natural health.

Choose wisely for your pet's long-term wellness!

No need to fear bacteria in raw feeding!
Headlines are quick to scare us about Salmonella and E.coli, but these are common in many foods.

Our pets handle them naturally, due to their highly acidic stomach (pH 1-2), fast transit time and robust gut flora from raw diets.

As humans, we practice good hygiene, clean prep areas, and washing hands, just like what you would do when preparing human food.

Pawsome Raw prioritises cold chain and testing for minimal risks.
Raw offers huge benefits when done responsibly.

Did you know that many mould toxins (mycotoxins) can survive the extreme heat and pressure used to make commercial dry pet food?

Fresh, raw food completely skips that entire high-heat process.
No extrusion.
No rendered ingredients.
No surviving mycotoxins from stored grains.

✅ Just clean meat, bone, and organs exactly as nature designed.
Better ingredients. Visibly better health.

Pets can’t walk into the shop and choose their own dinner. We choose for them, and choosing fresh is one of the kindest, most powerful gifts we can give.

Who’s choosing better this week? Drop a ❤️ below
