Let customers speak for us
My German Shepard has allergies and it has been a challenge to find an affordable option. He has no reactions of itchy skin with the Kangaroo/Boar. Having it set for auto delivery every 3 weeks is really convenient.
This is a very good product. My dog loves it and I found that she has more energy, shinier coat and her breath doesn't smell that bad.
I would Highly recommend
Wanting a low calorie diet for my basset and I believe this will help.
Our Labrador is thriving on the raw beef dog food. It arrives in convenient 1lb chubs. When we are low on food, we place an online order on a Sunday and the delivery arrives on our doorstep on Tuesday. We order enough to get a bulk discount and free shipping. We have never had any issues with not receiving our order, even on stormy days! We have now been a customer of Grand Dog Essentials for 8 years.
Dogs absolutely love their Bow Beef from 4 roots. I like that I can dehydrate some of it too for training treats.
Grand Dog Essentials have been so amazing with deliveries. I was waitng for..then had my hio replacement surgery and they accommodated my every need.
Great food.. Great service what else do you need ❤️
We just switched from a beef/chicken/veg/organ mix from another supplier to the turkey/turkey organ mix with Four roots, so far the dog loves it. The box came with 40 x 1 pound portions which is much better than the previous 3 pound logs that we had to cut up into 1 pound pieces, love it! It cost a bit more per pound than the other mix but is still a fair price. The reason for the switch is the dog scratches a lot, only time will tell if this solves our dogs scratching issue!
Our two dogs jump for when they know their is coming
Bones are great. My dog loves them and they don’t splinter.
my dogs would really miss their chicken backs, great for a crunchy treat anytime
We've always been very happy with the product and delivery.
Nutrition as Nature Intended
Every animal has a biological blueprint for what they should eat. Our raw diets honor that requirement, providing easy-to-digest, natural ingredients.
The main difference between a raw diet and kibble is the type of proteins used.
A raw diet prioritizes the use of quality meat products along with fruits and vegetables. Kibble relies heavily on plant proteins and starches.
We believe that a diet high in quality meat proteins supports your dog's health holistically by offering proteins their system was designed to digest.

How to Start!
What blend do I use? How much do I feed? Do I need to add anything to complete the diet?
Changing your dog's diet can seem scary at first, but we promise you got this!
To help you on your journey, we prepared a guide on how to transition your dog to a raw diet.
We invite you to check it out and if you have any questions, our nutrition experts are always available to support you every step of the way!
Can I feed a raw diet to my puppy?
Puppies grow at a remarkable rate, and every bite they take fuels their future. By choosing a biologically appropriate raw diet, you’re giving your puppy’s body the freedom to focus on what matters most: building strong bones, healthy organs, and a vibrant immune system.
Don’t let the "complexity" of raw feeding hold you back. We’ve simplified the science into an easy, step-by-step guide so you can feed your pup with total confidence.
Every product we carry is something we confidently feed our own dogs and cats.
