Why Four Roots Raw Pet Food?

As of now, our machinery is on a boat en route to our Red Deer Store. We are getting antsy to start producing our Four Roots line of raw pet food. In the meantime, here are some things you can expect when we start producing.

NRC Formulated Blends - NRC guidelines are the ones used by AAFCO when regulating pet foods. We hope to offer "complete & balanced" blends from an NRC standpoint that goes beyond the typical 80/10/10 formulations.

Transparency! This is why following us online and through our newsletter will benefit you. We want to take you on the journey of preparing raw food meals. We want to include you in the process so you can see why certain decisions are made and gain your trust in our pet food blends.

Safety and Quality Control - does your raw pet food manufacturer have any recall processes? What routines are in place to ensure safety of pets and employees? Is there batch tracking in place? Is there WCB in place? Four Roots is dedicated to doing this and more.

Expert advice from people who have been in the industry for years and take the time to maintain their knowledge with certifications and research. Dog nutrition is always evolving and we will to evolve with it. The other week someone came in, not to buy but to chat and learn more about raw feeding - we want to be your go to for quality information and support.

We want Four Roots to be a community hub! A place to go learn, have fun, and connect with others and their pets. Dog yoga, nutrition seminars, guest speakers. We want to do it all! What type of events would you be interested in attending?

We can't wait to launch our raw food line! If you could have us make anything, what would be on your wish list?

Is your dog’s raw food priced drastically lower than what you pay for meat products at the grocery store? It might be time to take a closer look. 🥩

At Four Roots, we source our ingredients from Canadian-inspected facilities, utilizing components packaged for the human-grade food chain. (The single exception is our green tripe—because no human wants an unaltered tripe on their dinner plate, but our dogs thrive on it!)

Because we buy from the human-grade chain, our pricing is directly tied to real market costs and availability. To put it in perspective, the average cost of ground beef for consumers in Alberta hovers between $6 and $10 per pound.

If you are buying raw beef pet products that are priced drastically lower than regular market meat pricing, it’s a good time to have an open chat with your supplier about their sourcing and labelling standards and where that meat is actually coming from.

Is low pricing a red flag for you when buying raw dog food or do you look for other warning signs first? Sound off in the comments!

With Timber watching you, there's no other option than to make the best raw pet food in Alberta! 👀🐱🐶

In a market without regulation, we enforce rigorous, self-imposed standards every day for our raw pet food blends.

For example, if a batch comes off the line and we feel it is anything less than ideal for our clients, it gets thrown out. Period.

We have and will absorb the financial loss because your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are worth far more than a saved batch.

How many people can say they can walk into a pet store and actually talk to the people who made their dog food? If you’re in the Red Deer area, put your hands up! 🙋‍♀️🐾

Four Roots manufactures our raw pet food lines—Four Roots and The Complete K9—under the exact same roof where we welcome you and your pups.

We were founded with a passion to offer absolute transparency to the Alberta raw feeding market. But what does that actually mean for you and your dog when you shop with us?

No Sneaky Recipe Swaps 🚫 We don't play games with your recipes. No swapping proteins or using hidden ingredients to save money. If we ever make a intentional update, our email subscribers are notified and the website/labels are updated. No surprises.

Sourced from the Canadian Inspected Chain 🇨🇦 We source our ingredients from Canadian-inspected facilities, utilizing components packaged for the human-grade food chain (with the exception of green tripe, of course—because no human wants that on their dinner plate, but our dogs thrive on it!).

Formulated with Intention 🔬 Our Four Roots fruit and veggie blends are meticulously crafted to meet NRC standards, backed by a clear guaranteed analysis for every single blend, so you know exactly what is fueling your pet.

A Real, Clean Kitchen (With an Open Door) 🧼 We have an open-door policy. If you book ahead, we’ll happily show you where the magic happens. We aren’t a faceless corporate factory. When you visit, you’ll see a real production kitchen—machinery completely sanitized after every single batch, and a dedicated team in boots, gloves, and aprons handling real, raw food.

Local raw feeders are looking for options close to home that prioritize high-quality ingredients you can actually pronounce.

It’s time to connect with your pet’s food differently. Stop by our Red Deer retail counter, chat with our team, and shop straight from the makers!

Lauren wishes she could just walk away... 🏃‍♀️💨 😝 But in all seriousness, it’s been a hectic couple of weeks here at Four Roots!

With some of our team away on well-deserved vacations, our small-but-mighty crew has been feeling the hustle. When you run a tight ship, you notice every single missing set of hands on the production floor.

When someone needs to take a breath and recharge, everyone else steps up to fill the gaps. It’s a delicate balancing act, but a vital one to ensure our crew can show up as their best selves—both at work and at home (even if we dream about driving away sometimes!).

We want to hear from you: How was your week? Were you the one holding down the fort like the team in the garage, or were you ready to walk to your car like Lauren? 👇
👇 Wishing you all a wonderful weekend filled with experiences and people who fill your cup!
