Where do you source your ingredients?

At Rebel Raw, we're driven by a simple truth: cats and dogs deserve to eat real raw food. Unlike the overcooked, hard, dry pellets that dominate pet food aisles – which scarcely resemble anything edible – raw food is vibrant, aromatic, and flavorful, mirroring the quality and essence of the meals we enjoy ourselves. It's sourced from the same trusted suppliers that grace our finest restaurants and supermarkets.

Our commitment to excellence is unwavering. Every ingredient we use is human-grade and USDA inspected and passed or equivalent if imported. We source our ingredients from esteemed restaurant suppliers, local farms, and dedicated human food purveyors, ensuring each batch is as nourishing as the meals we first crafted for our cats and dogs. To this day, we personally ensure the quality of our raw food by feeding our cats and dogs from each and every batch produced, treating every single one with the same care and dedication as the homemade food we crafted years ago. This underscores our commitment to quality and the trust we place in our food, guaranteeing that what we offer to your cats and dogs is, in fact, what we’re serving our own.

Embracing ethically raised ingredients whenever feasible, we prioritize animal welfare in every decision. Our chickens are raised and certified under the stringent guidelines of American Humane Certified™ standards, ensuring they live in environments that promote their health and happiness. Our broader network of suppliers echoes this commitment, chosen for their dedication to sustainability and ethical treatment.

We strive to balance premium quality with affordability, ensuring that the benefits of real food remain accessible. By eschewing cheap fillers in favor of fresh, whole foods, we guarantee meals that are delicious and deeply nourishing.

At Rebel Raw, every raw meal is a testament to our love for cats and dogs and our dedication to their health and happiness. It's real food, for real vitality.

Sourcing details:

All of our fresh, raw meals are made with 100% human-grade, restaurant-quality proteins and produce. None of our food is made with proteins that have been vaccinated with mRNA vaccines. We are constantly curating ingredient sources to find the best possible quality coupled with affordability. Listed below are our primary sources, which may occasionally vary depending on availability.

🐓 Chicken

We are proud to serve chicken from the prestigious Springer Mountain Farms, an exceptional and local Georgia chicken supplier. They are American Humane Certified™ and never use steroids, hormones, or antibiotics. In fact, Springer Mountain Farms employs standards above and beyond what is required to be labeled "Organic." Their chickens are fed a pesticide-free, vegetarian diet of corn and soybeans without the use of antibiotics, growth stimulants, or hormones, or animal by-products. 100% of the corn and soybeans are grown in the US.

The standards for organic production allow the use of antibiotics in the first days of life, allow the use of animal by-products, do not address food safety or animal treatment, and do not require testing of soil, water, and feed. Springer Mountain Farms believes all the above are essential in providing the safest and highest quality product available; that's why they set themselves above organic. They have an on-site laboratory to test soil, water, and feed for contaminants and pesticides. They also go one step further by testing each and every load of chicken before it leaves the facility as a final step to ensure its freshness and safety.

We are pleased to announce that Rebel Raw is committing to align with the Better Chicken Commitment (Version 1) by the year 2028. This standard is endorsed by respected animal welfare organizations across the country, and it reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical sourcing and animal welfare.

All goats are antibiotic, vaccine and hormone free. Goats are fed through rotational grazing and fed only locally grown hay.
