We Feed Raw's frozen patties are high pressure processed (HPP) to cut pathogens, formulated for all life stages, and shipped free to the 48 contiguous states. It is a legitimate Charleston, South Carolina raw dog food company with strong customer reviews (4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot across about 2,200 reviews) and only five BBB complaints in three years. The tradeoffs are price (plans start at $8.89 a pound and a one-time Classic Box is $199), the freezer space you need, and the general risks of raw feeding that the FDA warns about, so talk to your vet first, especially if anyone in your home is very young, older or immunocompromised.

We Feed Raw, step by step
Build a meal plan
Enter your dog's age, weight and activity level and pick recipes. We Feed Raw calculates daily portions, which you can see in your account.
Starter box and transition
Your first box includes a starter guide. Even dogs already eating raw are switched over about 9 days by mixing old and new food.
Frozen delivery
Orders ship 2 to 5 days after billing in a compostable cooler with dry ice. Thaw patties in the fridge for about 12 hours.
Billing reminders
You get an email 2 days before each billing date and can skip, delay, change portions or recipes in your account.
Cancel
Cancel anytime online, by 11:59 p.m. ET the day before your billing date. After you're charged, orders are final because the food is perishable.
We Feed Raw legitimacy and licensing
Yes. We Feed Raw is a family-run company in Charleston, South Carolina, rated A+ by the BBB (not accredited) with five complaints in three years. Trustpilot shows 4.7 out of 5 across 2,207 reviews, and the company replies to most negative reviews.
We found no We Feed Raw recall on FDA’s animal and veterinary recall page or in a search of fda.gov as of October 12, 2026. That is not a guarantee of future safety, and you can check FDA’s recall page yourself before each order.
We Feed Raw cost
Meal plans start at $8.89 a pound for beef, chicken and turkey and $9.89 a pound for lamb and duck. Your weekly cost depends on your dog’s calorie needs, so a large, active dog costs much more than a small one. Recipe pages show a discounted first box, for example $9.66 a week instead of $16.10 for the smallest beef plan.
If you don’t want a subscription, the Classic Box is $199 for 18 one pound patties, or about $11.06 a pound. Shipping is free to the 48 contiguous states.
What's in the food
Frozen recipes are roughly 80% muscle meat, 10% organ and 10% edible bone, plus a vitamin and mineral mix. The beef recipe lists beef, beef liver, beef kidney, beef bone, flaxseed, kelp, salt and added vitamins and minerals. Lamb comes from New Zealand. We Feed Raw says the frozen patties meet AAFCO profiles for all life stages and were formulated by a PhD animal nutritionist.
The freeze-dried line comes in beef and chicken, is 85% meat and organ plus 15% fruits and vegetables, and is formulated for adult dogs only.

raw dog food safety and legitimacy
We Feed Raw runs all frozen meals through high pressure processing (HPP), which uses cold water pressure to reduce bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli. HPP lowers risk but doesn’t make raw food risk free.
The FDA warns that raw pet food can carry Salmonella and Listeria that can sicken pets and people. Thaw patties in the fridge, keep them away from human food, wash bowls and surfaces, and wash your hands for 20 seconds after handling. Talk to your vet before switching, and stop and call your vet if your dog has vomiting, diarrhea or lethargy.
We Feed Raw complaints
Negative reviews are a small share, but the same few issues come up: newer packaging that arrives misshaped and stacks poorly, late evening deliveries, and a website that makes it hard to change orders outside the standard plan. Price is the other common concern.
To avoid surprises, watch for the email 2 days before each billing date, since orders can’t be changed once charged. If a box arrives thawed, We Feed Raw says partially thawed food that is still fridge cold is fine to refreeze; contact support right away if it arrives warm.
Cancellation and refunds
You can cancel a subscription anytime in your account. To change or cancel an upcoming order, do it by 11:59 p.m. ET the day before billing (Thursday for Friday billing, Sunday for Monday billing). After you’re charged, sales are final because the food is perishable.
New meal plan subscribers get a 30 day Happiness Guarantee on the Starter Box, and first-time freeze-dried buyers get the same window. Email support within 30 days if your dog won’t eat it.
