1. Unique sausage format

As well as a traditional ‘mince’, we produce our recipes in a natural sausage casing. This makes it easier for portion control and for owners who do not like handling raw meat.

2. Own van distribution

We find that 3rd party distributors are not an ideal method to deliver frozen goods to retail customers. Where possible we use our own vans and drivers to deliver to all our retailers nationally.

3. DEFRA approved manufacturing facility

Cotswold RAW has its own 7000sq ft. DEFRA approved industrial premises which have been fitted out with purpose built production and freezer storage facilities.

4. Top quality ingredients

We are committed to producing a premium range product. All our meat and vegetables are British, sourced locally where possible and fit for human consumption. This is reflected in the quality of our product.

5. Principles

We have set ourselves achievable, realistic and measurable targets and business objectives. Our aim is to establish collaborative partnerships with our retail customers with clear communication based on transparency, flexibility and trust.

At Cotswold RAW we are a dedicated and passionate family-run company. With several dogs of our own, we made the decision to switch their diets over to raw food and soon noticed an improvement in their behaviour, digestion and overall health and appearance.

Realising first-hand how beneficial this style of feeding was, we began to develop our own recipes using fresh meat, vegetables, eggs and our own Cotswold RAW herbal blend. Since 2014 we’ve been working independently to develop and produce high-quality Biologically Appropriate Raw Food for dogs.

Our raw mince and sausages are made in-house for complete transparency in our manufacturing process. If you turn over the packet to read our ingredients, you won’t need a science degree to understand what you’re feeding your dog. All of our ingredients are British and sourced locally where possible.

Here at Cotswold RAW we want what is best for our dogs. The result is a product that not only tastes great and leaves your dog begging for more, but which is a convenient solution for raw feeders and those making the switch from dry food. Our sausage format is a great way for new users to get used to feeding their dogs raw, with easier portion control and minimal handling required.

In 2016 we won the “Pet Product Innovation of the Year” for our unique sausage format at the PATS UK Pet Trade Show. In 2017 we won the prestigious pet food category in The Grocer New Product Awards.

A Diet That Makes Sense…

Dogs are carnivores first and foremost and have different nutritional requirements to humans. In order to thrive, a dog requires protein, fat, vitamins and minerals.

Long before processed foods came along, dogs hunted and scavenged to meet their nutritional needs. The structure of a dog’s body, jaw, teeth and digestive system are designed to catch and eat their prey.

Raw bones also play a crucial part in a dog’s diet. They provide essential minerals and nutrients from the marrow, as well as the bone itself. Bones also do a wonderful job at cleaning teeth when chewed. Providing bone as part of a healthy canine diet is known to make stools firmer, more manageable and less smelly.

Cotswold RAW mince and sausages are made from fresh meat and bones, seasonal fruit and vegetables and a few specially selected natural supplements, which are biologically appropriate for your dog. These ingredients are akin to what canines would eat if they were living in the wild.

RAW vs. Cooked

It is now widely accepted that processed food is bad for us and this logic translates into what we choose to give our pets.

In processed food, ingredients are heated to high temperatures destroying

their essential proteins, enzymes and nutrients. Those lost nutrients are then added back in as synthetic chemicals, often with colouring and preservatives.

Humans are the only animals to cook their food, which we now know destroys up to 70% of its nutritional value. It is also worth noting that dogs can’t digest raw grain, and so it must be cooked for them to eat it – something that simply wouldn’t happen in nature. Many dog food companies use these carbohydrates as cheap bulking agents – up to 60-70% of some processed pet foods are poor quality grain.

Why Feed a RAW Diet?

Why Feed RAW14 15Raw Feeding Benefits

We’ve heard many success stories from pet owners who have changed their dog’s diet over to raw feeding. From food intolerances and an upset digestive system, to dry and itchy skin, undesirable behaviour, tooth decay and bad breath – a raw diet can help to support the body’s natural functions and strengthen the immune system.

“Thanks very much for the dog food. I went home over the weekend and I’ve honestly never seen the dog so excited to get fed, quite amazing really! She usually sniffs her bowl

and walks away, only returning to eat her food when she is REALLY hungry. She was literally jumping up to get your food and once she ate it, followed me around everywhere

as if to say ‘can I have some more!’ So well done – it works.” Mr T Eden, Bristol
