Best Raw Dog Food in Victoria, BC — A Local Guide

Raw feeding has taken off across Vancouver Island, and Victoria is no exception. More dog owners are making the switch to raw diets — and for good reason. Raw food is minimally processed, made with whole proteins, organs, and bones, and many dogs thrive on it with better digestion, healthier coats, and more energy.

But with so many options, how do you choose? As a locally owned pet store with 11 locations across Vancouver Island, we've spent years working with these brands and helping customers find the right fit. Here's what we carry and why.

Top Raw Dog Food Brands Available in Victoria

Buddies Natural Pet Food

Made right here on Vancouver Island, Buddies is one of our most popular raw brands. They offer single-protein options like beef, chicken, turkey, pork, lamb, and salmon, plus premium blends with added fruits and vegetables. Their recipes are straightforward — real meat, no fillers. If you want to support a truly local company, Buddies is the way to go.

Iron Will Raw

Iron Will is a Canadian brand known for its high meat-to-bone ratios and clean ingredient lists. Their Complete dinners come in a wide variety of proteins including chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, duck, and rabbit. They also make a Puppylicious line formulated specifically for growing dogs. A solid choice for owners who want variety and quality.

Big Country Raw

Big Country Raw offers everything from complete dinners to individual proteins, bones, and Grab N Go variety packs. Their product range is huge — great for owners who like to rotate proteins or build custom meals. They also carry a Fare Game line for cats.

Healthy Paws

Healthy Paws keeps it simple with complete dinner blends and single proteins. Their variety packs are a convenient way to rotate between chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, and salmon without committing to a full box of one protein. Good value and easy to feed.

Pets Go Raw

Another Canadian brand with a loyal following. Pets Go Raw offers full meal options in proteins like chicken, beef, turkey, and salmon. Their recipes include ground bone and organ meat for a balanced diet without needing supplements.

How to Choose the Right Raw Food

Every dog is different. Here are a few things to think about:

• Allergies or sensitivities? Start with a single-protein option like Buddies Lamb or Iron Will Rabbit to isolate what works.
• Puppy? Look for formulas designed for growth, like Iron Will Puppylicious or ACANA Puppy.
• Budget? Chicken and turkey proteins tend to be the most affordable. Buddies Chicken Pure and Healthy Paws Chicken are both great starting points.
• Not sure where to start? Come into one of our Victoria stores and talk to our staff. We help people switch to raw every day.
