Natural Raw Pet Food Diets for Cats and Dogs

Our raw pet food is selected and designed for health and nutrition. Our food is all-natural, 100% pure.

Founded in 1979, Blue Ridge Beef manufactures raw pet food from its two facilities in North Carolina and Georgia. Products include raw beef (with and without organ meats), chicken with bone, duck with bone, and turkey. Owners Steve and Dean pride themselves on food safety, sourcing only US products from local suppliers. “We can monitor the quality of the products much more closely knowing where it comes from. We won’t put our name on it unless we know exactly what it is,” said Steve. Blue Ridge Beef differentiates itself from other raw food manufacturers
with strict adherence to grain-free food. Steve explains, “Some companies mix in kibble and other fillers. Our pet food is 100% pure and specific for each individual’s needs, with no preservatives or additives. This makes the educated consumer happy.”
Additionally, all products are manufactured as fresh as possible, flash-frozen overnight at -20° immediately after packaging. Blue Ridge Beef currently ships its products along the East Coast. 

However, as consumer demand for safe, all-natural pet food reaches new levels, Steve and Dean see an opportunity for growth. With the goal of growing market share to cover the entire United States, they recognized the need for a faster packaging line. 

Flexibility is Key
Blue Ridge Beef currently offers 13 recipes in 2 or 5 lb. chubs.
Catering to premium, quality-minded breeders and pet owners, they also respond to requests for new formulas. Therefore, the new line had to excel at handling many recipes. Flexibility in handling a variety of coarse and fine products was another consideration.
