Canadian Pet Nutrition Company Unveils First of its Kind Shelf Stable Raw Pet Food Pet Age

Red Dog Blue Kat (RDBK), a Canadian leader in raw pet nutrition, introduces Everyday Raw Anywhere — the first gently dried raw pet food that retains 95 percent of essential nutrients while reducing carbon emissions by 75 percent compared to freeze-drying. Using GentleDry Technology, this shelf-stable innovation brings the convenience of dry food together with the nutrition of raw — no freezer required.

Everyday Raw Anywhere offers the texture, taste, and nutrition of raw with unmatched convenience. Developed in British Columbia, Canada, this cutting-edge drying process preserves nutrients more effectively than traditional methods. Unlike air-dried and dehydrated foods, which can degrade up to 30 percent of essential nutrients, GentleDry Technology locks in freshness, taste and bioavailable nutrition — ensuring pets get the most from every bite.

“Innovation is at the heart of RDBK,” said Inna Shekhtman, founder of Red Dog Blue Kat. “We discovered a game-changing technology developed by a group of food scientists and engineers — originally developed for the cannabis industry to protect delicate compounds — and adapted it for raw pet food.”

The result? A first-of-its-kind product that delivers superior nutrition, convenience and sustainability.

Pet parents today demand eco-conscious options, and Everyday Raw Anywhere delivers:

• 75 percent lower carbon emissions than freeze-drying, reducing environmental impact.
• 3-hour drying process minimizes energy consumption while locking in nutrients.
• Responsibly sourced ingredients from Canadian farms, supporting local agriculture and reducing transportation emissions.

Designed for ultimate flexibility, Everyday Raw Anywhere offers three convenient ways to feed:

• Complete & Balanced Meal – Just add water and stir! Formulated to meet AAFCO adult maintenance guidelines, with no synthetic supplements or fillers.
• Premium Meal Topper – Enhances kibble, canned or raw diets with nutrient-rich whole foods.
• High-Value Treat – Served dry for a portable, protein-packed snack.

The versatile medallion shape was chosen after extensive product testing to ensure easy portioning, handling, and feeding.

In a blind consumer study with 50 pet parents, Everyday Raw Anywhere exceeded expectations:

• 98 percent of pet parents praised the smell, appearance, and texture.
• 92 percent of pets eagerly devoured their meals with little to no hesitation.
• 76 percent of pet parents were impressed by how quickly and fully the product rehydrated.

Everyday Raw Anywhere’s packaging pays homage to Canada’s landscapes and outdoor adventures, featuring hand-drawn illustrations that reflect RDBK’s commitment to local farmers, independent pet retailers and Canadian innovation.

Everyday Raw Anywhere will be available in select Canadian and U.S. retailers starting in Spring 2025.
