How it all began
Somerford Raw & Natural Complete Pet Food started thanks to our love of breeding and showing Weimaraners. Established in 1973, Somerford Weimaraners is one of Australia’s finest and longest established Weimaraner breeders. We breed show quality, purebred, pedigree Weimaraners. Over time, we made the switch to a raw food formula from a premium dry dog food.
Through feeding our dogs and puppies a raw food diet, we noticed changes and results almost immediately with better overall health, growth, litters, skin and coats as well as simply improving their quality of life. Wanting to share our results with both owners and dogs, Somerford Raw & Natural Complete Pet Food was born. We love our dogs and we love our puppies. And as with other members of our family, we only wanted to feed them the best. Sharing our extensive knowledge and continual product development now sees Somerford Raw & Natural Complete Pet Food as the leader in raw pet food.

FAQs
A raw diet isn’t complete without offal. Compared to regular cuts of muscle meat, organ meats are more densely packed with just about every nutrient, including heavy doses of B vitamins such as B1, B2, B6, folic acid, and vitamin B12. Organ meats are also loaded with minerals like phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium, and iodine and provide the essential fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins and minerals are critical to the health and wellbeing of your pet.
No need to add anything, our food is naturally complete & balanced, no need to feed anything else.

The raw diet is designed to be eaten raw and fresh. Cooking destroys vitamins and changes the molecular structure of protein and fats. Domestic dogs and cats haven’t evolved to eat cooked food. The digestive tract of a domestic dog is no different from a wolf or a domestic cat to a wild cat.
So many pet foods these days are loaded with grains, preservatives and artificial additives that can all adversely impact your pets overall health - causing allergies & skin issues. Here at Somerford Raw & Natural, we get a lot of feedback from pet owners whose pets have benefited hugely from being fed our salmon or barramundi varieties.
For allergies, it is essential to put your pet through an elimination diet for up to six weeks and only feed one variety of Somerford Raw & Natural Complete Pet Food. This way, you are able to identify which protein (meat) your pet may be allergic to.
