Raw Bistro is a Minnesota-based pet food company dedicated to providing premium, species-appropriate raw nutrition for dogs. Founded by Patricia Greene, the brand was inspired by her own dog’s transformation after switching to a raw diet. Launched in 2012, Raw Bistro combines thoughtfully developed recipes with ethically raised meats and organic produce to support dogs’ overall health and well-being.

Proudly made in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, Raw Bistro maintains control over its manufacturing process while supporting responsible farming and sustainable ingredient sourcing. With an emphasis on transparency, quality, and food safety, the brand offers complete and balanced frozen raw and convenient dehydrated diets. Its commitment to independent pet retailers and locally crafted nutrition makes Raw Bistro a valuable addition to our premium pet nutrition portfolio.

Core Philosophy: Made with Respect, Rooted in Quality

Raw Bistro believes that dogs deserve fresh, wholesome nutrition made with respect for animals, farmers, and the environment. By combining responsibly raised proteins, organic produce, and carefully developed recipes, the brand creates species-appropriate diets designed to support lifelong health and vitality.

Their approach is built around several key principles:

• Premium, Responsibly Sourced Ingredients: Human-grade, USDA-inspected meats from humanely raised animals, paired with organic fruits and vegetables sourced from trusted farms committed to sustainable practices.
• Species-Appropriate Nutrition: Complete and balanced raw recipes featuring single-source animal proteins and unique blends of organic produce, designed to provide nutritional variety through rotational feeding.
• Minnesota-Made & Locally Crafted: Produced in Raw Bistro’s company-owned facility in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, allowing direct oversight of ingredient sourcing, recipe development, and manufacturing quality.
• Quality & Food Safety: Rigorous supplier standards, ingredient traceability, sanitation protocols, and test-and-hold procedures help minimize food safety risks. Their production facility is certified for organic handling by NICS.

Product Offerings

Raw Bistro offers a selection of premium frozen raw and dehydrated dog foods featuring ethically raised animal proteins, organic produce, and carefully balanced nutrition. Designed to provide wholesome, species-appropriate feeding options, the lineup includes:

• Frozen Raw Dog Food: Complete and balanced raw entrées featuring single-source proteins, including grass-fed beef, free-range poultry, and other responsibly raised meats. Each recipe combines quality animal proteins with a unique blend of organic fruits, vegetables, and functional ingredients to support overall wellness and rotational feeding.
