Gut health is at the heart of every compliment your dog will get.That’s why it’s at the heart of our recipe.
Here’s what most dog owners don’t realise: your dog’s gut is 70% of their immune system. It affects their energy, coat quality, even mental clarity.
While a lot of dog foods use cheap ingredients and processing that disrupt gut bacteria, raw feeding works with your dog’s biology. The uncooked proteins remain fully bioavailable, natural enzymes stay active and the gut microbiome thrives on wholefood nutrition.
When the belly’s happy, the body follows.
It’s why veterinary nutritionists and well-researched dog owners have quietly shifted to raw. They understand optimal gut health requires food in its most natural form. And when the microbiome is fed well, it can be the key to unlock:
Stamina
A high-protein diet with healthy fats is great for powering happy pups. Fresh whole protein means your dog will digest more of their food for a long lasting, even release of energy. With none of the spikes and lows you get from carby processed foods.
Growth & repair
More meat and oily fish means your pup will be loaded up with omegas and amino acids. Both in their part are responsible for the function of enzymes and hormones, growing glorious coats and caring for nails, skin, muscles and other tissues.
Nutrient absorption
So your dog gets the most out of their food. Keeping each ingredient as raw, fresh and natural as possible ensures the maximum nutrients are absorbed into those fuzzy bellies. Meaning better digestion and less waste (a.k.a. smelly poops for you to clean up).
Gut balance
Dogs on a raw diet have a more abundant and diverse population of intestinal microbiota. Better for gut barrier health and keeping those bad gut bugs at bay. We also boost your buddy’s belly with plenty of pre and probiotics, fibre and B-Vitamins.
Hydration
Because we don’t cook our ingredients (except for blanching our veg), Raw has a higher water content. This keeps your dog nice and quenched. Super important to keep your pup’s kidneys happy and healthy.
Weight control
Carby fillers lead to sugar spikes, increased fat storage and hungry, hungry hippos (dogs). That’s why we only include minimal, essential carbs. So we can focus on using better energy sources for longer lasting satiation and contented canines.
Lower inflammation
Natural anti-inflammatories for the win! We’ve packed this recipe with antioxidants, B-Vitamins, and omegas. Fewer carbs, fresher produce and less processing along with loads of polyphenols means less inflammation in the gut too.
Brain function
The ingredients we’ve chosen are picked to promote neurological & noggin health. They’re high in L-Carnitine, Omega 3 and Vitamin-E and -B. All critical for brain function or preventing cognitive decline to keep those old dogs nailing new tricks.
Heart health
Our recipe is good for your buddy’s ticker because we’ve loaded up on all the heart-friendly meats. Like beef muscle and organs, which are naturally high in taurine and thiamine. And salmon that’s rich in juicy Omega-3s.
“The new Scratch "Raw" is AMAZING - my 2-year-old just loves it. We had previously tried other Raw products; he was never interested and would turn his nose up and walk away.
With Scratch Raw, he literally runs in circles with excitement every time we are about to feed him.
Not to mention, as the human that is feeding him, the food looks amazing!”
– Dyanna

49% Beef muscle meat,
A protein hit that would make gym bros blush. Packed with all ten essential amino acids vital for whole pup health, tissue repair and hormone regulation. This meat is a lean mean fighting machine with its immunity-boosting vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc and B12.
10% Sweet potato,
A low-GI carb for fueling fido without the sugar spikes (and ensuing shoe chewing). Peeled and blanched to make this natural prebiotic easier to digest. Without losing all the good vitamin C, B6, iron, magnesium and antioxidants like beta carotene that protect against some cancers.
8% Atlantic salmon frames,
Packed to the gills with protein and omega-3 fatty acids to support your dog from the inside out. Good for brain development and immunity. Great for keeping your dog's coat looking silky, silky smooth.
5% Beef heart,
Low in calories. High in nutrients that help your pup’s own ticker, like taurine and thiamine. One of our heartier ingredients (pun absolutely intended) thanks to heaps of satiating protein with vitamins, iron and fatty acids for cell health and healing too.
4.5% Beef liver,
Dogs find liver irresistible (and we’re not about to yuck their yum). It’s one of the most nutrient-dense and digestible sources of vitamin A, B, folate, copper and iron. So basically, mother nature’s multi-vitamin for metabolic, enzyme, digestive, bone and immune health.
4% Beef spleen,
Sometimes good things come in strange purple packages. Spleen is a superfood for dogs. It’s an organ that’s good for their organs. Thanks to an insane amount of highly bioavailable and bioactive iron and vitamins. As well as selenium, an antioxidant essential for metabolic function.
3% Zucchini,
Served skin on for max antioxidants to protect your buddy’s bod from free radical damage. We also love this green as a source of both soluble and insoluble fibre for a balanced gut and primo poops. Plus a laundry list of nutrients: Vitamins A, C, B6, K, zinc, manganese, and copper.
2.6% Peanut butter,
Smooth with no added salt, sugar or sweeteners. Peanut butter contains protein and essential fatty acids. But let’s be real. We added it because we wanted to bind some of our less cubable ingredients with something natural that dogs froth over.
2.5% Green beans
Filled with fibre to keep your pup’s poops nice and regular. Gut and butt health aside, these beans are rich in the things that fuel your dog’s other essential functions too like magnesium, folate, thiamine and potassium.
2% Kale,
There’s a reason crunchy mums love it. Kale’s an all-rounder absolutely stuffed with vitamins and minerals that support vision, bone, immune, nervous system and hormone health. Plus a tonne of antioxidants, flavonoids, and polyphenols that protect from chronic diseases.
2% Blueberries,
Because blues are just as important as your greens. These sweet treats are bursting with natural gut-balancing fibre, an immune-boosting mix of Vitamins A, C and K and free-radical-fighting antioxidants like ellagic acid that’s been associated with tumour prevention.
Wheat germ,
Lassie-level locks here you come. Wheat germ is here to help make your dog even more pattable. With heaps of omega-3 fatty acids to support the growth of gloriously soft coats and help soothe skin inflammation.
Bone flour,
Yep. That’s exactly what it sounds like. Flour made from the ground bones and connective tissue of cows. We love it because it’s super high in calcium and collagen, plus it helps us offer the perfect ratio of Calcium and Phosphorus.
Cold pressed wheat germ oil,
Not that kind of germ. This is pure cold pressed oil extracted from kernels of wheat. A.K.A. the most concentrated natural source of vitamin E around. This antioxidant-rich vitamin helps protect cells from free radical damage and the associated diseases and cancers.
Aquamin,
Derived from red marine algae and seawater, Aquamin is awash with natural and easy-to-absorb minerals like magnesium, iron and calcium. Vital for keeping your best mate’s body and joints in top knick.
Salt,
Just enough to keep your pup’s electrolytes up (way less than you’ll find in kibbles). A little salt helps keep their bodily fluids in balance and their muscles happy to keep them in top possum-chasing shape.
Kelp,
If you wanna be fancy, ascophyllum nodosum. If you don’t, seaweed. Kelp is super high in fibre, protein and amino acids, which support digestion, thyroid function and tissue repair. It also contains bio-actives like fucoidans and polyphenols proven to reduce oral plaque while improving gum and teeth health. See ya later bad breath!
Fortified yeast,
Our four-legged mates don’t naturally produce zinc. So it’s got to come from their diet (like this enriched yeast). The mineral is important for all sorts of vital bodily functions like vision, cell creation and repair, skin health and keeping the immune system fighting fit.
Zinc yeast
Dogs don’t get toast with vegemite. So we include this enriched yeast to make sure they have all the Vitamin B needed for a healthy metabolism, digestive and immune system. It helps with the absorption of nutrients like iron, the breakdown of fat and protein, and even cognitive functioning.
