Red Dog Blue Kat (RDBK), a Canadian raw pet food manufacturer, has launched Everyday Raw Anywhere, a shelf-stable raw pet food that the company said retains 95% of its nutrients while reducing carbon emissions by 75% compared to freeze-dried alternatives.

The product uses GentleDry technology, a drying process designed to preserve essential nutrients without the need for freezing or refrigeration. According to RDBK, unlike traditional air-dried or dehydrated pet foods, which can lose up to 30% of their nutrients, the GentleDry process locks in freshness and bioavailable nutrition.

“Innovation is at the heart of RDBK,” said Inna Shekhtman, founder of RDBK. “We discovered a game-changing technology developed by a group of food scientists and engineers — originally for the cannabis industry to protect delicate compounds — and adapted it for raw pet food.”

The company emphasizes the product’s environmental benefits, highlighting its lower energy consumption and reduced carbon footprint. Compared to freeze-dried alternatives, Everyday Raw Anywhere produces 75% fewer emissions, requires just three hours to dry while preserving nutrients, and sources ingredients from Canadian farms to support local agriculture.

Everyday Raw Anywhere can be served as a complete and balanced meal by simply adding water, used as a nutrient-rich topper for kibble, canned, or raw diets, or given dry as a protein-packed treat. RDBK said the medallion shape was developed for easy portioning and feeding, providing a flexible option for pet owners looking to incorporate raw nutrition into their pet’s diet without the hassle of refrigeration or freezing.

Everyday Raw Anywhere will be available in select pet retailers starting in Spring 2025.

Founded in 2004, Red Dog Blue Kat is a Canadian manufacturer of high-quality raw pet food committed to transparency, ethical sourcing, and food safety. Operating from a CFIA-inspected and HACCP-verified facility in British Columbia, RDBK prioritizes sustainable, whole-food nutrition for pets.
