[NAGDU] Raw dog food

Tue Jan 12 16:13:37 UTC 2016

    Hi, I can testify on Hare today.com.  I have ordered from them and my 
dog has done quite well.  The fish is great!!  The other items are great 
also.  Not what you call cheap but, great products.  Andy and Shubert

A couple other great websites for sourcing raw food are:
www.mypetcarnivore.com
and
www.hare-today.com

Each website has its own variety of proteins, food form options,
pricing, and shipping options.

Hare-today is my supplier of choice. Good variety of proteins at great 
pricing.

Each site also has educational pages available to browse and read, in
case you want to learn more about rawfeeding.
