If there is one name Canadian raw feeders recognize without hesitation, it is Big Country Raw. Born in Ontario and built around fresh, traceable Canadian ingredients, BCR has spent more than a decade quietly becoming the backbone of the Canadian raw-feeding movement.

A truly Canadian brand

BCR sources from Canadian farms, manufactures in Canada, and ships through a tightly managed cold chain to independent Canadian retailers. For breeders north of the border, that matters: short supply chains mean fresher product, fewer recalls, and a brand that answers the phone when you call.

You will find BCR bowls in the kitchens of some of Canada's most respected national sponsoring breeders — Mastiffs, Goldens, Bernese, Dobermans, Australian Shepherds, working line Shepherds and more — feeding pregnant dams, weaning litters, and senior champions alike.

Why breeders trust the formulas

• Pure formulas — single-protein, single-ingredient options for elimination diets, allergy work-ups and rotational feeding.
• Dinner blends — 80/10/10 balanced meals built on whole muscle, organ and bone, with seasonal Canadian produce.
• Puppy & performance — higher-fat, higher-calorie blends designed for growing puppies and hard-working sport dogs.
• Bones & chews — recreational beef and bison bones, trachea, gullet, and the BCR marrow bone that Paw Privileges members reach for first.

How we recommend BCR inside Paw Privileges

BCR is one of our founding national sponsors. When the Plan Next Adventure engine builds a day around your dog, BCR shows up where it genuinely fits — a marrow bone after a hike, a Pure single-protein dinner during a sensitivity reset, a puppy blend for a weaning litter from a sponsoring breeder. We never push it where it does not belong; we let the dog and the day decide.

Finding BCR near you

BCR is sold through independent Canadian pet retailers, not the big-box chains. Use the store locator at bigcountryraw.com to find your nearest freezer, or ask your breeder where they pick up — most of our sponsoring breeders have a trusted local BCR retailer they have worked with for years.

Always discuss any diet change — including a move to raw — with your veterinarian and your breeder. Transitions should be slow, intentional, and matched to your dog's life stage.
