Hi, I am using your Better In the Raw cat supplement and my cat loves it! She has been on raw chicken thighs & BITR for a month now, and her IBS symptoms are completely gone. I am thrilled!
Thanks very much!  Amy

I am very excited to get the Better in the Raw for my cats, as my dogs are doing excellent on the Better in the Raw with Liver. 
Thanks, Tracey

Thank you for making such a great product, and making raw feeding so easy!!!
We love it and recommend it often!

After seeing a CBC documentary on commercial pet foods I started researching alternative diets for our two dogs and two cats. I stumbled across your video and visited your website - I read every page!
Our oversized and rather plump Sheltie, Copper, is 7/12 years old and has been with us since he was a pup. Koty, our toy poodle, is 5 1/2 years old and just adopted 5 weeks ago. Both of our boys (and our two elder cats) have been on the Better in the Raw diet for almost a month now. I have a butcher nearby who has a constant supply of quality ground beef at a good price. I noticed within days a marked improvement in Copper's awful breath. He is slimming down which tells me that I am 'feeding' not 'filling' him and he doesn't smell 'doggy' anymore. Koty is a very picky eater so I add about a teaspoon of beef broth to his servings and he just loves it. There is a noticeable decrease in the size and frequency of the dog's and cat's stool and it doesn't have as strong an odour. I was sceptical about the claims that the stool will turn pale and break down - well guess what - now I'm a believer. Their coats are in better condition, eyes are clearer and even their temperament is a little mellowed.

At first it may seem a more costly way to feed your beloved pets but I've calculated that per serving, it's somewhere in between the cost of premium commercial pet foods and the cheaper brands, none of which it seems is very good for your pet. I love the fact that you have incorporated the shipping costs into the price - it makes ordering so much simpler.
It is very easy to mix big batches and freeze in portions, and if your pet needs to be boarded it's very convenient for the caregiver. All you need are freezer bags and a sharpie. And if it avoids unnecessary and very costly trips to the vet I think it is worth every penny. I want my much loved companions to be around as long as possible. It is very clear to me that I made the right choice and I'll never go back to bags of kibble or cans of who knows what!
Kudos to Better in the Raw for a wonderful Canadian product and your dedication to the well-being and health of our pets!   Catherine, Ontario

I have been wanting to feed my cats a raw meat diet for years, but always felt it was too difficult.  With "Better in the Raw", I know the proper ingredients are in their food, and all I have to do is mix it together with meat I buy. It couldn't be easier, and my 13-year-old cat's health problems have disappeared.  He was suffering from irritable bowel disease, his muscle mass was wasting away, and he was lethargic.  After just a few months on his new diet, he looks and acts like a much younger cat, has packed on lean muscle, and his IBD is completely clearing up. His fur is also shiny and soft, a good indicator of his health on the inside.  This is a great product, and I'm very happy I found it.

I have been using your Better in the Raw with liver for almost a year now and would not use anything else.  My two dogs are gorgeous.  Thanks
Karen, Oregon

I purchased the Better in the Raw with Liver for my dogs, and they absolutely love it.  I can see from the lower stool output, they are getting better nutrition than feeding kibble, plus I feel much better knowing what they are eating.
Thank You for a great product!  Tracey

Thank you once again for a great product.  A few months ago I tried a locally made raw meat product, but alas my dog Sasha suffered.  She just loves your mixture.
Thank you.  Susan

We got "Blossom" from the Nanaimo SPCA last October. She was 18 mo. She was all skin and bones, constantly sneezing, sneezing blood and would lay in front of her food bowl listlessly. The vet advised us it would cost more than $1000 to just diagnose her, and no guarantee he could do anything for her. She is an extreme Persian. This breed is prone to respiratory and kidney problems. He advised we take her back to the SPCA and get our money back. However, she is such and endearing, cute kitty. We decided to care for her as best as we could for as long as she would last. If she makes it she makes it, if not, we will take good care of her as long as she lasts, no matter how short a period this would be. Then we happened on Gayle who advised we feed the cat raw meat with additive. So we did. She loves her raw beef and additive. She soon stopped sneezing and started putting on weight. Now, no problems. She is full of mischief. 
We decided to buy her a pet. A fish, named Bubbles.  Now Blossom is fascinated with her fish.  She is a very healthy, lively, playful Persian.  Thank you.

Our dog, Molly, is an 11 year old Shiz Tu. Up until last year she was definitely showing more signs of aging. She had allergies, with her ears, eyes and feet constantly irritated. She would have to be convinced to eat her food, which was a very trying event and she appeared to have arthritis as her legs were very stiff in the morning. She also did not play as much and seemed to be happy just being in her corner. We started the raw food diet last summer and we are amazed at the difference in her. She eats two meals a day with no coaxing. Her allergy symptoms, as well as her arthritis symptoms, are gone and she is much more playful.  Thank you!
Nancy, British Columbia

My Westie was miserable for years with skin allergies. I finally took him to a Holistic vet that recommended a raw diet and your product. Elliott is now allergy free. I had tried every kind of dog food imaginable and only wish I had known about Better in the Raw years ago. I now tell everyone who even mentions their dog has problems to go raw with Better in the Raw. Thank you for such a great product.
Lorna, Oregon

I just wanted to let you guys know what your product has done for our dog. We have a 2½ year old, beautiful American Bulldog. In her first year of life we had her on regular dry dog food from the pet store. As soon as she turned one year she began to react to her food, she was allergic to all dry dog foods and would break out in hot spots, she and us were miserable. Our vet recommended a raw food diet and we heard about your product. She's been on it for almost a year now, we haven't been to the vet once with allergy related problems. Roxy is a much happier dog now!

Thank you for your wonderful product! Thank you for the wonderful product you supply! Ever since I started feeding my bulldog a natural diet of My Master's Choice (now Better in the Raw), his health has improved dramatically, not to mention his gas problem!
Thank you, Kim

I just wanted to let you know that I received the dog food and my IRWS when crazy over it. He was jumping up and down and barking at me until I fed him.
Mary

Thank you for your quick and through reply. This kind of customer service always keeps me coming back to the companies I like!!
Best wishes, Carol

Just to let you know that Danny took Jack to the vet on Tuesday for his annual check-up and vaccinations and the vet couldn't believe the change. He's only seen Jack once since the "near death experience" in March. Danny said he kept bragging about how good Jack looks, so Danny told him about the diet Jack is eating. The vet said that whatever we're doing, keep it up; he's impressed.
SB

Thank you very much for going the extra mile, checking with me on this, voiding the second charge and then shipping by airmail! It truly demonstrates your commitment to running an honest company and is something that I won't forget.
Heidi

I know I wrote you before, but I have to tell you guys again just how much I love your product!!! My dog goes nuts over this stuff, and I see a huge difference in his health.
Thanks, Christene

Our little guy is loving his new food. He is doing great!
Thank again for your help!
Jennifer

Thank you for making available a better way of feeding our loved companions. I discovered your web page while looking for a food to agree with my 10 yr old dalmatian, Rex. We were looking for something easier to digest and the vet agreed with our idea of feeding him raw meat. He also warned us about vitamins and minerals that may not be available in a raw meat only diet. The need to supply those will be covered by the MASTER CHOICE (now Better in the Raw) product I ordered today. Gail was very helpful making clear the daily amount Rex should get and the way to store the mixture (meat and powder). Thank you all at know better dog food! Thank you Gail!

Mailie and Sheebamailie, our older dog, is only 6 years old and she suffered for years from an arthritic knee. I put her on your food about 6 months ago and her improvement is astounding! I never have to give her pain medicine anymore, or the glucosamine supplement that wasn't really helping. She never has a 'bad day' anymore--you would never know she even had a problem! We put sheeba, our puppy, on your food, too, the first day we brought her home. She had very bad skin and a dull, uneven coat. Wow, you should see her now: shiny and silky and no flakes! They're both the picture of healthy, happy dogs. Fresh breath, shiny coats, healthy skin, cold wet noses, and firm little stools. I feel good everyday about what I'm doing for them! Thank you for your product! and thank you, Gayle, for your customer support!
Cheers, Laura

Maggie - my 12 year old Shitzu's health had started to decline. She had become listless, had kidney problems, was throwing up daily and was not eating. She shook all the time and had lost a good deal of weight. I worried we would lose her. The vet wanted to do more tests and put her on an IV along with medication. I opted for trying raw food instead. I had tried it a few years back but it was so difficult and time consuming. Your product changed that. Within two months her health totally turned around. She's now eating well, spunky, and bright eyed. The waxy black coating on her tummy is gone. (That was a sign of severe kidney problems). I believe this saved her life and will give her many more years with us. With much gratitude.

Hi there, Just wanted to share some pics of my boys.  Jake is the white dog, he is 5 years old and has eaten your food for 4 years. He is a very healthy and happy boy! The brown and black pup is Rocky. He is 7 months old and has eaten your food since I got him at 6 weeks old. His coat is so shinny and soft! Thanks for the great food!
Laura

Just wanted to say thank you for your dog food mix. My husband and I adopted a husky mix dog from Nunuvut last year, that would not eat anything we gave her. She was in a bad state of health, and would not eat dry/canned food at all. I tried her on total human food, which she loved, but I was afraid "Sasha" was not getting the nutrients that she needed. I found your web site last spring. Now Sasha waits eagerly every night for her food. Her coat is shinning and soft and the vet said she is in the best of health.
Thank you. Susan

I dog, a Chinese Shar Pei, is a very very finicky eater - needing to be tempted to her plate with things like cream cheese, etc. However, once I started using U-stew it is a easy to get her to eat - yesterday, after I called her for dinner, and was ignored as usual, I got busy and didn't go through the persuasion ritual - after a couple of minutes she went to her dish on her own - she couldn't resist.  Judy, Sam and Pistol

I received my first order of U-Stew this morning. I boiled a pot of whole chicken thighs, let it cooled and chopped it up. I mixed it with your product as directed and gave it to my 2 Cotons. They licked their bowls clean in about a minute and a half! They have never done that before. Of course I guess from their standpoint, I was simply giving them each a bowl of chopped chicken - why wouldn't they love it? I was concerned that they would not like the taste of the U-Stew, but that certainly was not the case. So Thank You so much for this product! I love the idea of giving them something they love and that is good for them. Some people would think it extravagant to cook chicken for your dog, but why shouldn't they look forward to and enjoy their meals as much as we enjoy ours?
Thanks Gayle.

Attached is Simon - he's the real reason we found you. He was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. Almost everything I've read draws back to their diets. I have to admit, with so many pets, it's been more about quantity than quality. Big lesson learned. He's a really special guy and we'd be honored to have him on your website!
Jessica

Hi there! I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that I finally recieved my U-Stew. I was worried that my little maltese/yorkie wouldnt eat it. She is pregnant and hasnt touched her kibble in weeks. I have had to feed her cooked chicken and scrambled eggs because that is all she would eat. I was getting concerned for her. I mixed up the u-stew with fresh chicken breast and held my breath as I put it in her bowl. By george, she ate it up. So, thank you. Now I can sleep well knowing she is getting the nutrients she needs! Sincerely, Jackie

Just a second to thank you guys for such a great product and awesome service. My two "boys" love this stuff. Merry Christmas to all of you. Thanks again.
Ruth, Ron and Killer and Sammy !!!!!

Thought you'd like to know... We have a young Jack Russell Terrier and very old Shelty, and although we originally began using My Master's Choice (now Better in the Raw) to give some internal relief to the JR after an injury (it worked!), we soon found that this mixture took a few years off the old Shelty as well. After a life time of being a finicky eater, she now gets very feisty before and after dinner time and never leaves a single morsel in her bowl. We continue to add her glucosamine powder to help with her achey joints, but we suspect it has become more effective now that she's on this diet. Thank you for offering a sound alternative to run of the mill dog food.
Laura, British Columbia

Our little guy is loving his new food. He is doing great! Thanks again for your help! Attached is a pic of Enzo :) Jennifer

I was real sceptical about feeding a dog raw meat, so I did cook it a bit. I bought black angus steak and had it ground. I like my steaks Medium Rare so, I cooked it about like that. I steamed veggies and mixed it all in my kitchen aide mixer. I put 3/4 cup on a plate and my 11 month old ate it up! She "never" eats the dog food I buy. I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find something she likes. I only bought natural dog food. My last purchase was a good quality kibble. And it sat there until she was so hungry she ate it. I have to daughters with dogs and I will be buying it for them as well. I have no idea how I ended up at your site, but...where have you been all our lives. Thanks a bunch.
Janet, Ohio

I am grateful to your company for making it easy and convenient to provide pets their best diet. I think we discussed this over the telephone once, but feeding my dogs their correct diet helped convince me to improve my diet.
Dawne, New York

Many thanks for your prompt and very informative reply. I am very impressed with your product and your level of customer service.
Best regards, Carol

I am writing to say Thank-you for providing a pet product of high quality without using animal testing. Thank-you and I will continue to use your product with pride.
