Fresh, All Natural Ingredients


Inland Empire Raw is pleased to now be offering K-9 Kraving's superior raw products to the Inland Northwest.   Like any responsible pet owner, you are probably wondering what exactly goes into making the food that you will eventually feed your dog.  It is an extreme rarity in the pet food industry that the end user can take a look into the pet food manufacturing process.  Big pet feed simply does not allow it.  They continue to try and trick you with beautiful marketing, showing only the finest healthy animals in their commercials while placing slaughterhouse renderings and 4D meats into the bag that they sell you.  We want to invite you into the Boesel Packing facility and show you how K-9 Kraving is produced.  The post below is taken directly from their site with their permission to make you, the consumer, as informed as possible about your buying options.

Our goal was to raise the bar when it comes to healthy canine nutrition. K-9 Kraving has all the ingredients for a healthy raw dog food diet with no added chemicals or preservatives.

All of our recipes use real muscle meat (beef, chicken, turkey, duck or mackerel) as the first ingredient. We add in vitamin-rich broccoli, wholesome farm-grown carrots & healthy sweet potatoes. We then blend in our patented essential vitamins, minerals and trace minerals essential for a complete and balanced diet for your dog.

Developed in conjunction with a world-renowned PhD in animal nutrition, our recipe eliminates the need for additional daily supplements so you can be confident your dog is getting the nutrition he needs for a strong, healthy body.

Our raw dog food meets the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles and is Complete & Balanced, “For All Life Stages”.

NO Chemicals, Additives or Preservatives

You won’t find any processed meal ingredients, preservatives, dyes, added sugars, cereal grains, glutens, nitrates, chemicals or soluble carbohydrates in our food.

Made in the USA – Only the Finest Ingredients

We only import federally regulated, ethoxyquin-free,  human grade, wild-caught whole fresh Mackerel from Canada; all other Certified Human Grade proteins and vegetables are Born, Bred, Raised and Manufactured in the USA.
