Where to Buy Dog Food (including Raw Diet)

If you are visiting this page, you most likely feed your dog a top-quality dog food, homemade meals, or raw meaty bones.  You’ve come to the right place!  Here’s a list of stores that carry what you are looking for plus how to read dog food ingredient labels.

Pawniolo Pets – The meat they use in their all-natural prey model raw dog food comes from 100% grassfed beef raised on their family ranch in Waimea, Hawaii. They sell their raw dog food and treats and chews at Waimea Midweek Farmers Market (dog-friendly!), Aloha Pawz, The Public Pet (Honolulu), Kihei Pet Supply (Maui), and direct pick-up from their ranch that is located between Waimea and Honokaa.  Call them at 808-389-3789 to schedule pick-up or with any questions.

Meats come from animals raised in Hawaii with no antibiotics, ever, and no added hormones. WBS only partners with farmers and ranchers who follow strict standards for animal welfare.  Their goal is to bring our community great-tasting beef, pork, lamb, and poultry that is environmentally and agriculturally sustainable.  They currently sell chicken liver and feet (look in the freezer), “Dog Treats” (beef jerky) and bone dust (perfect for those who make homecooked meals for their pets) as well as prepared dog food (Big Island grassfed ground beef, poi, rice or oatmeal, and omega oils).  They will be selling bones specifically for pets, and you can also request any part of the animal for custom order.

As of September 2019, Hawaii Beef Producers has decided to no longer cut or grind and wrap meat due to such a high demand for Big Island grass fed beef.

Protect Your Pooch, Read Pet Food Labels

Purchasing food for your beloved pooch is one of the major expenses you have within your household budget. But, have you ever wondered what is actually inside the pet food that you toss in your grocery cart? From wet to dry food, there are many different types of grub that your animals eat. They might not know what they are consuming, but it is your responsibility to read labels and know exactly what is put inside the food products that you serve.

With increasingly busy schedules, there is hardly enough time to run errands or take your time shopping for pet food. Yet, the sad news is that there might be ingredients in store-bought pet food that are actually harmful to Fido.
