Raw Frozen Food
|
We highly recommend a Fresh raw diet for your dog. If this is not possible, here are some great frozen raw foods for you to choose from.
"Many people new to feeding raw worry about it being time consuming and hard to make nutrionally complete. Completely Convenient
Commercial frozen foods make feeding a "natural" raw foods diet easy.
Despite what many makers of conventional canned or dry pet foods would have you believe, raw diets for dogs are not a
modern fad, but a return to the dog's not-so-distant past. While many who advocate "biologically appropriate raw foods"
(so-called BARF diets) for dogs point to the canine's evolutionary diet as justification for this feeding paradigm, the
fact is that dogs were thriving on bones and raw meats less a hundred years ago – not so long as to imagine that they have
since "evolved" out of easily digesting these foods! Kibble and canned, if anything, constitute the modern feeding "fad."
Do you want to feed your dog a raw diet, but are afraid of leaving
something important out? Today there are many "complete and balanced"
raw diets on the market, and many other products that can support a
home-prepared diet of your design.
Most of our grandparents knew how to do a lot of things that most of
us don't know how to do anymore, like canning fresh foods or cleaning
a fish. In the name of convenience, we've allowed industry to remove
us from the process, and we've thus lost a lot of common-sense
knowledge about the end product. Our grandparents' generation knew
how to feed the family dog – as well as the Best of Show winner at
Westminster – on a home-prepared diet.
Fortunately, for today's over-informed but under-smart dog owners
(myself included!), there are companies that offer our dogs a source
of food that has the convenience of a prepared diet, the nutritional
benefits of a biologically suitable food, and confirmation of space-
age laboratory testing that it contains all the nutrients a dog needs
(as far as we know so far!)." Nancy Kerns

ALL RAW orders are shipped via FedEx. Though you will be selecting UPS shipping options, FedEx will be the carrier for your raw delivery.
There is an 8 pound minimum and $15 shipping surcharge on all frozen raw food and bones orders. Additional charges may apply for certain states and for air express service. Please read the following carefully:
Special Packaging - All raw food and bones are shipped frozen in special styrofoam-lined boxes with dry ice. The shipping surcharges are to cover the cost of the dry ice, special packaging, and shipping costs for them.
Tuesday Shipping - All frozen raw orders will ship Tuesday and depending on your location (see below), will be delivered on Friday or Saturday. To ensure that we have adequate stock to fill your order, please try to order by midnight Sunday.
Ground Service - The least expensive shipping method is Ground service. Delivery time frames vary depending on the state shipped to. To be sure of your delivery date refer to the tracking information available through your shipping confirmation email. In most states delivery will be on Friday. For some states on the East Coast (see below), Ground delivery takes 4 days and arrives on Saturday. These orders are shipped via FedEx Home Delivery service to residential addresses only, so be sure to enter a residential - not a commercial- shipping address. These locations that take 4 days and arrive on Saturday will have an additional surcharge of $10 for the extra dry ice (see below). This $10 surcharge will be added after your order is placed, so it will not be reflected in your shopping cart or confirmation email. Remember, you will be choosing UPS Ground as your shipping method, but it will be delivered by FedEx.
Air Express Service - Overnight Saver, 2nd Day, or 3 Day Select air shipments are available, but a $12.50 air express surcharge will apply. This charge will not be reflected in your shopping cart, during checkout, or in your initial order confirmation email, but will be added as the order is processed for shipment. Choose the appropriate UPS air express shipping method, although it will arrive via FedEx.
Mutliple Box Surcharge - Some orders weighing over 20 pounds must be shipped in more than one box and will be subject to double the shipping surcharges. Not all orders over 20 pounds will need to be sent in multiple boxes, and if it applies to your order we will notify you before processing it so that you can make adjustments if desired. In general it is bones, medallions, and patties that tend to take more room.
SEPARATE RAW FOOD ORDERS - If you are ordering both frozen raw food or bones and other, non-frozen items, please place two separate orders - or feel free to call us at 888-937-6677 or email us at service@onlynaturalpet.com and we will do it for you. This will prevent the non-frozen items from being delayed until Tuesday and from being subject to extra shipping charges.
Following is the list of states for Ground (residential addresses only):
Delivered Saturday, additional $10.00 surcharge: AL, CT, FL, GA, MA, ME, NJ, NY, NC, NH, RI, SC, VA, VT.
Delivered Friday: Most other states. See your tracking information if you are unsure when to expect delivery.
Delivery Instructions: Please ship to an address where someone will be available to accept the order. If this is not possible, please leave a note for the FedEx delivery person on the scheduled day of delivery with instructions on where to leave it (that is not in the hot sun). We can only guarantee the food will stay frozen for 3 or 4 days from shipment, so if it is not able to be delivered or it sits for an extended period in the sun, there is a possibility that the food will begin to thaw. We cannot accept returns or offer refunds for frozen orders that are unable to be delivered or that sit for extended periods in the sun after delivery.
