Special Thanks to our Sponsor We Feed Raw!
We’ve had dogs in our family for the last 20 years. Our current pups Bear & Bella are mixed breed dogs rescued in 2017. Bear is jet black Staffie + Boxer mix and his sister is Staffie + chow.

Before I discovered We Feed Raw I was selective but also confused about the so-called healthy kibble I was feeding them. It turns out this expensive kibble was basically the same as feeding my dogs an all-processed, unhealthy food diet.

They are now on a We Feed Raw meal plan system that’s made custom for them with all the nutrients they need to live happy healthier lives.

We Feed Raw food is:

Safe and cold-pressurized, free of pathogens packed in BPA-free packing
It's sourced from USDA human-grade meats, food ships and arrives frozen for freshness
There’s 6 different balanced recipes, something for every dog’s taste, allergy issues and more
You never have to worry about being out of food or forgetting to pick more up at the store.Your subscription meal plan comes to your doorstep.
Meal plans are customizable based on age, activity level, size and more.

Bear and Bella have a new excitement for mealtime and I’ve seen them lean out and get into even better shape with the healthier food.

Want to try it out? Just visit WeFeedRaw.com and put in the code “Bear” B-E-A-R and new customers will save 30% off the meal plan starter box.
