Like us, your dog doesn’t want a processed diet.
What they need is protein.
All that high temperature processing that other pet food manufacturers use reduces vital amino acids (which are needed to turn protein into energy).
But raw meat protein is packed with these essential amino acids.
So we make it easy to give your dog the natural, raw protein he needs.
Animals Like Us is a unique blend of freeze-dried meat and natural organs sourced directly from ethical and sustainable farms.
Raw protein means more energy, better health and much better taste.
Raw offers more
Not all protein is the same.
Not all protein is the same.
It is scientifically proven that protein absorption from raw protein is significantly higher than processed protein found in cooked or canned diets.1
Combine this with naturally higher protein levels in raw diets and you have a supercharged effect.
More protein, working harder for your dog.
Our chunks of freeze-dried raw ingredients have been locked into these superprotein structures, delivering a powerful boost in every bowl.

It’s good news for healthy poops!
Conventional heat processing of pet food reduces the availability of protein and amino acids such as lysine.1 This makes it harder for your pet to digest and absorb.
In contrast, freeze-dried raw preserves these links and helps your friend digest more nutrition in his food. As they’ve absorbed more nutrition, there’s less on the other side.

Dogs crave raw meat.
Dogs are naturally drawn to foods that are high in protein and amino acids.1
They can taste the nutrition in food, which is why they crave raw meat and organ quality.
Our freeze-drying process locks in this natural nutrition and flavor, creating raw, lip-licking morsels with every bite.

A picky eaters delight!
Louie is known to be a picky eater.
We gradually introduced the new food into his diet and by the end of the bag he was gobbling it up!
Being grain free, the food was so gentle on her sensitive stomach.
Fussy Poodle Approved!
Bobby is a picky poodle eater!
After a bag of anything, he’ll turn up his nose and refuse, always making it difficult to buy kibble.
Animals Like Us has completely changed that, he will continue to happily eat this brand of food!
We received our bag of goodies and love that we didn’t have to worry about touching or defrosting raw.
Chewy loves it too, as he takes pieces to his den to eat privately.
I love the fact that we can pick it up at the grocery store.
Leif loves it!

Made in New Zealand
Animals Like Us was born and made in New Zealand.
It’s a great place to make food for your animals because it’s grown on clean, pristine land.
About a third of our country is national parkland and more than two-thirds of our electricity is clean hydroelectric or wind.
We are careful to source our meats and vegetables and only work with ethical farms that meet our high standards.
A little smelly, as they like it.
We source nutritious grass-fed meat, organs and fish from New Zealand farms and oceans.
Since they’re safely freeze-dried raw, it’s a little stinky – just how they like it.
We’re sorry you missed it.
But it’s not all bad news, our cat food is now available at New World, online and at specialty pet stores!
