We know the first question most raw feeders ask before ordering is simple: will it actually arrive frozen? The answer is yes — and here's exactly how we make that happen.
Every order ships directly from our production facility in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, where our team makes, packs, and quality-checks every product before it leaves our hands. We've built our entire shipping process around keeping your dog's raw food safe, cold, and fresh from our door to yours.
How We Ship Frozen Raw Dog Food
All frozen raw dog food orders are packed in biodegradable and/or recyclable insulated coolers with dry ice to maintain safe temperatures throughout transit. We ship via UPS — either Ground or 2-Day Air depending on your location — and every shipment is timed to arrive within 2 days to protect product integrity.
Frozen food ships separately from dehydrated items.

What to Expect When Your Frozen Raw Dog Food Arrives
Your order should arrive frozen solid. That's our standard, and it's what we pack for.
Because we use dry ice and insulated packaging, it's normal for the dry ice to be fully sublimated (gone) by the time your package arrives. As long as the patties are still frozen or very cold and firm to the touch, your product is safe and in excellent condition.
Occasionally, the outer surface of patties may feel slightly soft while the interior remains frozen solid — this is normal and safe.
We recommend bringing your shipment inside promptly and placing items in the freezer right away.
If your order arrives warm, fully thawed, or the patties feel soft throughout, please contact us within 24 hours of delivery with your order number and photos of the product and packaging. We'll make it right.
