As Nature Intended
Dog in Cape Town

Delicious, and easy to serve. The best dog food and cat food is made "As Nature Intended" - raw natural and healthy.  We use only free-range chicken, meats, vegetables, fruit, herbs and natural supplements to make our "Give a Dog a Bone" and "Catch of the Day" complete dinners for dogs and cats.  The fresh produce is minced and frozen into handy zip lock bags.

Our first experience of raw feeding happened twenty years ago with our bullmastiff, Kismet. For the first two years of her life, Kismet was plagued by health problems. The worst of these was a skin condition which would start as a rash and erupt into raw open sores. After many conventional veterinary treatments (anti-biotics, cortisone) we were advised to put our gorgeous girl down and end her suffering. Her life was literally saved by switching her from an extremely expensive kibble /pellet dog food to the raw, real food diet. We became fascinated with this diet, and read everything we could get our hands on. More details on the barf diet and natural pet-rearing can be found on the Why we feed a raw diet page. Everything we read confirmed our experience that natural raw food made for happy healthy dogs and cats. So, when we got to getting our new puppies we wanted to start off rig ht. We fed Satchmo and Kaesha on food which combined raw meaty bones with a little bit of vegetables, fruit and herbs from the day they came to us. The result was two healthy, happy pups with silky coats, white teeth, clean breath, and fantastic natures. She was an old cat, and we had put her lethargy down to age. Her hair-shedding stopped, and her coat became shiny and soft. We were so excited by the changes in our animals that we couldn't stop telling our friends about it. Many of them asked to try our food for their animals. One friend whose dog suffered from constant diarrhea reported that he had had normal stools for the first time in his life. This was after many vet visits and attempts at treatment. Another friend said that she hadn't even realised that her dog was depressed. She thought that his lethargy and his anxiety were simply a part of his nature. With a change to raw food, she watched him change into a confident, lively dog. We decided that it was time to make this food available to other people. Some pictures at the end of this page tell stories of our client's pets. Dogs and cats with itchy skins have found relief on the raw diet. Because of epileptic seizures we want to feed our dog fresh meat menus only. is doing very well on your Give-a-dog-a-bone menus and he loves the carcasses, necks and bones very much. We are sure it helps keep the seizures away, it makes Yebo's fur shiny and healthy and we have a very happy dog around the house. They are super excited at meal times and gobble it all up. His face was swollen, he was losing hair, and he was scratching himself raw. He is about six months old now and seems to have inherited sarcoptic mange and also has a very diffficult immune system. Since being on the 'Give a Dog a Bone' raw chicken mince, combined with treatments, he has transformed from a frustrated itchy puppy to a playful, relaxed and very shiny dog. Berry loves his food and has had no problem with the immediate transition. As well as adding the egg, sardine and bones in-between. Our little one, Muttley, has taken an interest, so we are giving him a spoonful on his pellets, so that he does not feel like he is missing out. Just goes to show what a good raw diet can achieve (he has been VERY strictly on one since diagnosis 6 months ago). The heart rate and beat is more regular and the thickening of the heart wall has REDUCED!
