Raw Necessities Established December 2009, Raw Necessities supplies raw meaty bones and raw products for your cats and dogs. We provide both whole products and minces.

Our minces are DAFF registered and our facility inspected and approved by DAFF After feeding our own dogs raw for a couple of years Raw Necessities was born December 2009 with the purchase of our first 500 kg capacity Derby freezer. In 2014 we became proud Melkbos locals and quietly went about our business providing a service for the DIY raw feeding market. As raw gained popularity amongst the general public at a later date we started manufacturing minces. In late 2023 the registration for our minces came through, but we opted to stick to complementary minces as seventeen years of feeding raw has brought along with it the lessons of how to provide raw food or minces without having to add synthetic multi vitamins and minerals to make it complete and “balanced”

Our entry level mince Beef&Chicken and Chicken mince is perfect for the mince raw feeder as it contains bone and organ and doesn’t require the customer to cut up to mix and match products. What we would however recommend is adding sardines or a good Omega 3 oil to the diet. The Beef, Sheep and Venison mince are for the more confident raw feeder and contains organs but requires adding additional edible bones of your choice. Dogs do need rip, gnaw and chew, to clean those teeth. The Just venison and pork mince are for those that prefer to add their own organs. And for those that prefer to do it all themselves we provide a wide selection of bits and pieces

Happy Raw Feeding

Anatomy doesn't lie. However dog and cat food pellet manufactures do lie. Lying by saying that dogs and cats are omnivores to justify that their grain based pellet food which is more suited to cows and sheep than dogs or cats

• The Carnivore Skull (Dog): The jaw joint is a tight hinge aligned perfectly with the teeth. It allows zero side-to-side motion. Food is cut up and swallowed in large chunks because dogs cannot physically chew their food horizontally.
• The Omnivore Skull (/Bear): The jaw joint sits higher above the tooth line and is much looser. This allows for lateral (side-to-side) and rotary chewing movements. This lateral motion is completely necessary to grind down plant cell walls before swallowing.

Another reason to raw feed. We have seen multiple cases where dogs were moved from pellets to raw and their gut issues were resolved.
