Wolves & Wildcats
Even the prettiest pooches and floofiest felines are descended from ancient wolves and wildcats, and while they may look very different now, they still share many of the dietary needs of their wild ancestors.
That's why dried kibble, frozen mystery meat and other super-processed pet foods shouldn't cut the mustard for our furry friends!
At Once Were Wolves, we produce fresh, raw pet food that gives your pet the best nutrition nature can offer.
The way nature intended
Our pet diets follow the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF) guidelines, ensuring your furry friends receive a balanced, natural diet consisting of lean meat, bone, offal, and vegetables in the proportions that nature intended for their species and their size.
We stay up to date with the latest research to ensure our recipes optimise nutrition and health for your pets!
Human Grade Ingredients
Our BARF recipes use only human-grade ingredients, meaning your pets receive the same nutrition and safety standards you expect for your own diet!
Daily portions based on your pet's needs
Our meals are conveniently portioned into daily servings based on your pet's weight, and they're kept fresh for longer in vacuum-sealed bags.
Here's why our raw pet food is the best thing for your furry friends...
Fresh is naturally better
Our pet food utilizes Australian-grown ingredients, predominantly sourced from South East Queensland, ensuring the freshest, highest-quality produce and meats. All ingredients are 100% natural and our food contains no fillers, meat by-products, artificial additives, rendered fats, or added sugars, ensuring pure, wholesome nutrition for your pets.
Health and happiness in every bite
Our BARF food diet has been proven to promote improved digestion and nutrient absorption, a shinier coat and healthier skin, optimal weight maintenance and strong, healthy teeth and gums. By mimicking their ancestral diet, BARF also boosts energy levels and enhances immune function, contributing to overall vitality and happiness.
Cost Savings
Our subscription service eliminates delivery fees and provides a permanent discount on our pet food products. For all of our raw pet food products, we're able to keep our product prices below market rates thanks to our butchers' ability to source ingredients more cost-effectively.
Simplicity & Convenience
Our meals are delivered fresh, not frozen, making them easy to serve without any preparation. Our subscription and delivery service means you never need to run out of pet food again! We deliver to all major cities in South East Queensland, at least once per week.
A Butcher's quality guarantee
Our production facility moonlights as a butchery, so it operates under the strictest health and safety protocols, typically reserved for human food preparation. This means our production processes adhere to rigorous cleanliness and sanitation standards, ensuring a contaminant-free environment, and every batch is meticulously inspected to meet human-grade quality benchmarks.
