For pet parents who want to support a locally made raw food brand, Northwest Naturals is a standout option. Founded in Oregon, this PNW-based company has been crafting raw diets for dogs and cats with a focus on high-quality ingredients and responsible sourcing.

At Sam’s Cats and Dogs in Redmond, Monroe, and Everett WA, many families exploring raw feeding ask about Northwest Naturals, especially if they’re looking for a brand with regional roots and a reputation for reliability.

Why Some Pet Parents Choose Northwest Naturals

Northwest Naturals offers a range of raw options designed to meet different pet needs:

  • Frozen raw patties & nuggets – convenient, complete meals.
  • Freeze-dried raw formulas – shelf-stable and easy to portion.
  • Raw toppers & mixers – great for introducing raw into a pet’s current diet.

Pet owners appreciate that the ingredients are sourced from Northwest farms and trusted suppliers, with transparency about protein sources and limited fillers.

Some potential benefits observed by families include:

  • Improved digestion and energy levels.
  • Leaner, healthier body condition for active pets.
  • High palatability for picky eaters.

As with any raw diet, results vary per pet. Consulting your veterinarian and monitoring your pet’s response is recommended when switching foods.

Local Advantage: Why PNW Brands Matter

Choosing a local Pacific Northwest brand like Northwest Naturals can offer additional benefits:

  • Regional supply chains → fresher ingredients, lower shipping impact.
  • Support for local businesses → keeping money in the community.
  • Easier access to customer service → brand representatives closer to home.

For pet parents in Redmond, Everett, and Monroe, shopping local also means quicker availability and support from retailers who know the product well.

Balanced Perspective

While Northwest Naturals is a strong local option, some families may prefer a national brand like Primal or a premium option like Stella & Chewy’s depending on their pet’s preferences, budget, and lifestyle.

Exploring multiple brands and formats — frozen, freeze-dried, or toppers — can help you find the best fit for your dog or cat.
