Celebrate with your best friend- it’s National Dog Week! Shower your pooch with plenty of love and treats as you both enjoy the 83rd annual pet holiday. We have the healthiest and heartiest treats that will have your pet begging for more. How about a puppy party? You’ve come to the right place. We have all those hard-to-find specialty items, the most common treats with a healthy twist, and everything in between. Check out our wide array and always expanding selection of pet products:  

For a healthy and happy pet: Even more nutrient-dense favorites: Last but certainly not least, has your canine (or feline) tried our best-selling pet burger yet? If not, they are missing out! This one-of-a-kind treat is a mixture of 65% lean beef, beef heart, and beef liver with no fillers, preservatives, or dyes. You will quickly see why this is one of our most sought after products and best kept secrets. The US Wellness Meats dog, Buck, is always begging for more burger!

Rest assured your pet will be getting the best, as all the ingredients in our pet food selections are from the same 100% grass-fed and grass-finished cattle as our other beef products! In fact, the high fat content (35%) is the only reason the pet burger is labeled for pet consumption only. While some customers choose to cook the pet burger, the vast majority simply serve it raw. To make the diet transition smoother, we recommend a gradual introduction of the burger if your pet is currently eating dry, packaged pet food.  

Whether your pampered pet needs an occasional treat or a daily meal, we are your one-stop pet food shop.  

Share your favorite pet recipes or feeding ideas with us! Your recipes and comments could be featured in a future publication of our newsletter.

Holistically raised Silk dogs on U.S.Wellness raw beef dog burger, along with meaty bones like chicken necks, lamb ribs and beef bones. All my dogs are champions and well loved companions!

Hi - Can you tell me how much of the pet food(beef) package your dog is supposed to consume to fill them up? I don't see serving size suggestions. I want to ensure my dog is getting enough food/nutrients. Also do you recommend fixing this with veggies as well so they are getting good healthy carbs w/ the fat & protein? My dog is 70lbs and we are looking to make the switch from a holistic grain free dog food. Thanks!

Chrissy, Here's a raw dog food calculator we've found to be helpful: http://www.raw4dogs.com/calculate.htm. This should give you a general idea of how much to feed your dog. Most raw food pet websites and forums recommend serving an average of 2-3% of your dogs body weight. This would vary depending on age, level of activity, etc. Please let us know if we can answer any further questions. We hope this information is helpful.

Wonderfully healthy dogs! Our Shnauzer is strange though. We have to give her dried food as she seems unable to digest real food. Any ideas?

Hi,  
I was wondering if this would be good for my cat? He's about 12lbs and 2 years old. Can he eat this?? 
 
Thank you

I just want to point out that according to the ingredients listed on this website (Ingredients: ground beef, beef heart, beef liver), this is a great base for a raw or homemade petfood, but it is NOT a balanced diet for dogs or cats!!! Feed only as a healthy treat, or get a reliable petfood cookbook and use this as a protein source in the recipes. As listed, it is vitally important to supplement this food with other vitamins and minerals in order to keep your beloved furbabies healthy! 
 
Check out Dr. Becker's Real Food for Healthy Dogs and Cats Cookbook (mercola.com) or Dinner PAWsible a Cookbook of Healthy Dog and Cat Meals (TruthAboutPetFood.com). I have 2 dogs and 3 cats and I'm looking forward to including the Pet Burger in my furbabies favorite homemade recipes, too! :)

Hi...my 10 lb, 12 year old Rat Terrier was just diagnosed with diabetes. She is currently on Royal Canin Diabetic and WD canned food. Will this 'raw' food be OK for her with her diabetes? I would like to switch her to a more healthy natural food that may help control her blood glucose.....Thanks!
