Where do you source your ingredients?

All of our ingredients are USDA inspected and passed, human grade and human tested, sourced from restaurant suppliers and local farms.

Updated this week

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 approved. 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 local, organic, and 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. Leading the way in duck welfare, our duck farms adhere to the pioneering Trident Stewardship Duck Care Program, a third-party audited initiative that sets the benchmark for humane duck raising across the industry. Our broader network of suppliers echoes this commitment, chosen for their dedication to sustainability and ethical treatment.

We use organic ingredients where we can as we strive to balance premium quality with affordability, ensuring that the benefits of real food remain accessible. Our selection includes exceptional sources like venison from New Zealand and rabbit from Hungary, alongside predominantly US-sourced ingredients. 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, USDA certified, meat, poultry, seafood 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 soybean without the use of antibiotics, growth stimulants or hormones, or animal by-products. 100% of the corn and soybean is grown in the US.

The standards for organic production allow the use of antibiotics 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.

🐄 Beef

Our beef is sourced from US farms and raised antibiotic, steroid, and hormone free by farmers and ranchers committed to humane handling. Most is Angus, which holds more stringent quality standards than USDA Select, Choice, and Prime grades. Much of our beef is also organic and grass-fed, with cattle spending their lives on pasture.

🦃 Turkey

Our turkeys come from US farms committed to humane raising practices. Birds are raised antibiotic, steroid, and hormone free, fed an all-vegetarian diet with natural enzymes, and kept in controlled environments designed for their health and wellbeing.

🐖 Pork

Our pork comes from US farms raised antibiotic, steroid, and hormone free. Sows are housed in large, unrestricted pens designed for natural movement and social interaction. They're fed a corn, barley, and soybean diet with no animal byproducts, growth promotants, or ractopamine.

🦆 Duck

Our duck is sourced from family owned US farms raised under the Trident Stewardship Duck Care Program. Birds are cage-free in spacious, quiet barns with room to roam and access to fresh water. They're fed a vegetable and grain based diet free of antibiotics, growth hormones, and RUPPs (Restricted Use Protein Products) like meat and bone meal.

🐇 Rabbit

Our rabbits are sourced from US farms and select farms in Hungary, raised hormone, steroid, and antibiotic free. They're fed a locally grown, GMO-free, pelleted grain and plant-based diet made on-site.

🦌 Venison

Our all natural venison comes from family farms in New Zealand and are pasture raised on natural grasses. They are raised without the use of hormones or antibiotic growth promotants.

🐟 Salmon

We use a wild caught Alaskan salmon. All salmon is frozen per FDA guidelines to kill parasites.

🐐 Goat Milk

Our raw goat milk and goat colostrum are not pasteurized ensuring a high level of beneficial bacteria and probiotics. We source directly from The Capra Gia Cheese Company, a local goat farm known for its commitment to producing high-quality, artisanal goat cheeses. This family-operated farm focuses on sustainable farming practices and the humane treatment of their goats, which are a key part of their cheese-making process. All goats are antibiotic, vaccine and hormone free. Goats are fed through rotational grazing and fed only locally grown hay.

🌊 Organic Kelp

We use NOW® Organic Kelp, certified organic and a trusted source for iodine. It's important to us to only use high quality, lab tested, human grade supplements. Iodine content in kelp varies greatly and using a non-reliable source can negatively impact the thyroid.

🥬 Spinach

A nutrient-dense leafy green rich in iron, fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins like A, C, and K. Certified organic spinach supports immune health, eye function, and overall vitality.
