 recommended raw diet for puppies

Ask a vet: what age can I feed my puppy raw food?

The team at Verm-X are all passionate about feeding our animals the most natural and healthy food possible.

Many of us choose to feed our cats and dogs Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF), a diet that's close to what their ancestors would have eaten in the wild,  starting from when they're small.
