New to feeding raw? Want to learn how to properly and easily prepare your dog's meals at home for FREE? Learn "one-on-one" from an experienced mentor with our ongoing Mentoring & Apprenticeship Program. Read more about it on our blog. This is a great opportunity for those SFRAW Members just getting started or new to feeding raw. To sign-up to participate as an apprentice, contact us ASAP via email: sfraw@sfraw.com. Sessions typically take place about twice a month on either Saturday or Sunday.

Here's what one participant had to say about her experience, "THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing this space and promoting this type of mentorship. I am super grateful I received your email and was able to attend. It was so helpful and I had such a great time. Cab is awesome/great! Gaining that knowledge helped alleviate some angst and anxiety I didn't even know I was feeling. I made their food last night, exactly how Cabernet showed me, and it was so much easier than what I was doing! And tonight, they get to the RMB for dinner. :) "

We have free Mentoring sessions available every few weeks! To sign-up to participate as an apprentice, contact us ASAP!

Bay Woof Article - Twilight Dining: Senior Dog Nutrition

BAY WOOF SEPTEMBER FOOD ISSUE'S FEATURED ARTICLE TWILIGHT DINING: SENIOR DOG NUTRITION BY KASIE MAXWELL
Pleased to see the article I wrote for Bay Woof's September food issue is listed as one of the Featured Articles! This issue has some great information and is a joy to read! Please be sure to pick one up. Although we're currently in puppy mode at home with Easy right now, most of you know that my specialty for many years has been rescue senior, hospice, and end of life care for many animals; this is a subject I have a lot of experience and knowledge about. I was very excited to write this article (the original was over 3,000 words, and they edited it down considerably!) I plan to also write a blog post soon that will be a nice accompaniment to this piece with more practical recipes for the "Twilight Set" - Enjoy & Share!

NEW SFRAW MEMBERSHIP REFERRAL CARDS!
We now have business/membership referral cards available! We wanted our new cards to not just have our basic business information on them, but to serve and benefit our members, too. Members: simply write your name on the space provided on the card, give them to friends as an invitation to shop at SFRAW for a one-time 30% off discount. When we get the card from your referral at the point of purchase, we will enter your member card into a monthly drawing for a **$100 credit** to shop at SFRAW!

Many of you have dogs/cats that are incredible ambassadors of raw feeding & living endorsements of the power of raw feeding – this prompts conversation about raw feeding or SFRAW with friends and acquaintances. To support this, we decided to also include a listing of the “Benefits of Raw Feeding” on the back of the card.

Thank you for spreading the word about raw feeding, helping animals to get healthier by eating whole, fresh, REAL foods, and supporting SFRAW!

NEW: WHOLE ANCHOVIES
When sardine season closed, we began to look at other small whole fish options. Anchovies are now available and everyone has loved them so far -- we even put them into our Prey Model Packs! Good for dogs & cats of every age and every size -- these little fish and a great way to include whole fish in your animal's diet.

RETURN OF BELOVED WHITE FISH/SALMON WITH JAPANESE SWEET POTATO FORMULA
We have been working diligently with Royal Hawaiian Seafood to procure an excellent source of sustainable, high quality, yet affordable white fish to make our popular White Fish/Salmon Formula with after our supply of the halibut we were using became cost prohibitive to use. We are pleased to announce that we finally found a great source for a beautiful boneless fillet of Arrowtooth Flounder coming from a fishery in Oregon that the Sustainability Manager at Royal Hawaiian really likes and speaks highly of. Arrowtooth is a delicate white fish with a mild, sweet flavor. It’s commonly marketed for engawa, a type of sushi, and as fillets. We are excited by the beautiful samples we got in this week to make a small batch of this popular and affordable formula again. Rejoice and enjoy with this most excellent finding!

Raw Diets vs. Canned/Kibbled Pet Food by Dr. Gwen deBaere DVM

Thank you, Brian Castellani & Gwen deBaere for this great little video clip (c. 2012). Dr. deBaere continues to be an active SFRAW member and many of our members work with her and her husband, George McKay. They are an amazing resource for exceptional veterinary care and we enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend their Mt Madonna Veterinary practice in Watsonville (worth the drive!) Please note hours listed at the end of this clip are not current -- we have been OPEN 7 DAYS/WEEK since the end of 2014!

Stunning new member Mia came all the way from Santa Cruz to get started on raw!
