BC’s Best Raw Pet Food

BC’s Best is a new, premium raw pet food that is built on the core values of pet health, local ingredients, sustainable agriculture and humane animal production standards. Beginning with man’s best friend, our team has formulated recipes using modern nutritional science guided by ancient wisdom and basic biological truths. Our pets are healthiest when eating the foods they were designed to eat. Cats and dogs have lived for thousands of years on this planet eating mostly meat. They ate it RAW and it varied seasonally and day to day. With this in mind, our fall/winter and spring/summer product lines evolve around the fruits, vegetables and herbs that are seasonally available within B.C.
