Darwin’s Natural Pet Produts
Offers complete and balanced meals (formulated to AAFCO standards)
BARF style (includes vegetables)
Purchase directly through Darwin's home delivery program (online or over the phone), ships directly to your door. Custom size orders available.
Offers three separate frozen raw dog food lines. 1) A premium line using free-range meats and organic vegetables. 2) A value line using conventional meats and vegetables for budget-conscious feeders. 3) A line formulated to support specific health issues (kidney, liver. cancer, joint & musculoskeletal support).
Their packaging is the most convenient (and least messy) for portioning different amounts for your dog. They come in 2-lb packs, perforated into 4 separate half-pound packages with an easy peel-open tab.
Because their food is direct to the consumer, Darwin's can track which food (specifically the lot numbers you purchase). That way, if there were a recall, they would know if you received the products in question and can contact you directly. You may not be informed if you purchased affected items when you buy from a store.
