ISSUES WITH GENERIC PET FOOD
The issue with popular pet foods is that they are grain based. It has been found that grain in our pets' food inflames their bodies, and trigger allergic reactions. When inflammation takes over, their immune system is constantly working which can lead to:
- Digestive issues - diarrhoea
- Obesity
- Bloat
- Skin Issues
- Arthritis
Raw Dog Food
Our recipes are based on the wild dog diet - a diet that dogs have eaten over thousands of years. Many modern manufactured dry foods contain cereal products as their main ingredients. And a dog’s digestive system does not cope well with a high cereal diet.
Protein in a dog’s diet should come from real meat, minced bone and organ meats. Carbs and fibre should come from vegetable matter and fermented fruit.
Somerford Raw & Natural is a naturally complete and balanced pet food that gives your dog exactly what they were born to eat. When combined with our meaty bones and tasty treats, they have a complete and satisfying diet.
Go against the grain, and feed your best mate Somerford Raw & Natural so they can live their best life.

Changing Pets Lives
We humans are very aware of the pros and cons of what we eat, and rightly so. We know what's good for us and what's bad for us. Whether we follow our own advice or not is a matter of self-discipline. We might walk right past the fresh produce section of the supermarket and get a pizza and some fries instead. Read More

FAQ
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.
