Canadian pet parent Julia shares her story of feeding Red Dog Blue Kat's Everyday Raw Anywhere, the gently dried, shelf-stable raw that keeps her dogs thriving at home and on the go.
In this customer story, Julia explains how she found a raw feeding option that fits her adventurous life with Kilo and Hex. Long days as a full-time nurse, weekends hiking or camping, and two high-energy dogs meant she needed food that was both convenient and truly nourishing. Everyday Raw Anywhere delivered exactly that — fresh raw nutrition in a shelf-stable format she can take anywhere.

Meet the Dogs
Kilo, a four-year-old Border Collie–Belgian Malinois mix, and Hex, a two-year-old Belgian Malinois, are a pair of high-energy adventurers who love being on the move. Neither has special dietary restrictions, but Kilo—being neutered—can gain weight quickly. For Hex, who burns calories fast, a high-protein, healthy-fat diet helps her thrive.
Their pet parent, Julia, has been feeding raw for about two and a half years, after diving deep into canine nutrition. “I noticed right away that Kilo loved it—his coat was shinier, his skin healthier, his weight more balanced, and his energy more consistent. After that, there was no going back to kibble.”
Since switching to raw, Julia has seen easier weight management, more sustained energy, softer coats, less itching, and smaller, firmer stools.
Why the Switch to Raw Dog Food?
Julia’s decision came down to health. She wanted to feed her dogs something closer to what nature intended, and the results spoke for themselves.
“Kilo was skeptical at first, but after his first taste, he never looked at kibble the same way. When I saw how much he enjoyed it—and how much better he looked and felt—I knew it was the right choice.”
Since switching to raw, Julia’s seen:
Easier weight management
More sustained energy
Softer, shinier coats
Less itching
Smaller, firmer stools
“My dog’s health is incredibly important to me, and by feeding them food that is nutritious, good for the planet, and as close to fresh raw nutrition as possible, it brings me so much peace of mind. The Everyday Raw Anywhere food has surpassed my expectations for a shelf-stable food.” - Julia C.
Discovering Red Dog Blue Kat
Julia first heard about Red Dog Blue Kat’s raw pet food from another creator on Instagram. That quick mention led her to research the brand, and she was instantly drawn in. The promise of whole food ingredients, ethical sourcing, and full transparency about where everything comes from resonated deeply. Learning that it’s a Canadian brand supporting local farmers sealed the deal, “It perfectly aligns with my values.”
Why Everyday Raw Anywhere?
As a full-time nurse with an unpredictable schedule, Julia needed an option that made feeding raw as quick and convenient as possible without losing nutrition. “We travel a lot—camping, hiking, visiting friends—and I wanted something that could keep up with us, even if I forgot to thaw raw food.”
She’d tried freeze-dried and dehydrated raw foods before, but RDBK’s new gently dried format felt different. It was easy to break apart for training treats, quick to rehydrate, and—once mixed with water—looked and smelled like fresh ground meat. “The dogs go wild for it.”
Convenience for Busy Days and Adventures
Everyday Raw Anywhere has joined Julia and her dogs everywhere, from off-grid cabins and beach evenings to moving into a new home. Without the need for refrigeration, it removes the stress of storage and cleanup while travelling.
She uses it in multiple ways:
Complete meals on the go
Training treats (easy to break apart)
Meal toppers for variety
The 5-minute rehydration routine
Rehydration is simple: crumble the medallions, add water, stir, let sit, then stir again. “I sometimes bring hot water in a thermos—it’s just that easy.”
Why She Trusts the Brand
For Julia, food safety and transparency aren’t negotiable. “The pet food industry isn’t as regulated as it could be, and I want to know exactly what’s in my dogs’ food and where it comes from.”
She trusts Red Dog Blue Kat for its:
Ethical sourcing
Support for Canadian farmers
Strict safety certifications and nutritional analysis
Women-founded leadership
“As a Canadian pet parent living on a farm, I love supporting a brand that supports local.”
Pet Reactions and Results
The first time she opened the bag, both dogs—and even the cats—came running. The medallions disappeared instantly. No transition period was needed, and the dogs maintained their usual raw-fed energy levels.
She appreciates the multi-protein variety and natural supplements like green-lipped mussels and kelp. “Different proteins bring different nutrients, and the more natural the ingredients, the healthier it is for the dogs.”

Would You Recommend It?
Julia doesn’t hesitate to recommend Everyday Raw Anywhere to other pet parents. “It smells fresh and meaty, nothing like other shelf-stable foods. You can use it as treats, toppers, or full meals—and when it’s rehydrated, it looks like ground beef. The dogs can’t get enough.”
Her closing thought is simple: “Everyday Raw Anywhere makes feeding on the go easy, without losing the nutrition my dogs thrive on. The quality is unmatched, and it’s now a permanent part of our feeding routine—right alongside RDBK’s fresh raw and raw meaty bones.”
