Paws up, it's time for RawFest! The main event you've all been waiting for is happening from August 13th-22nd and is filled with a furtastic selection of deals on all things Raw! Check out this week's blog to find out more about this year's Rawfest deals.
Paws up, it's time for RawFest. Join us for a celebration from August 13th-22nd for all things raw! It’s one of the best annual events at The Pet Beastro! Our store team members are huge fans of feeding fresh, raw food to help improve their pets. We each have personal journeys with our pets and how raw food has made improvements with our furkids. Each story is different but very rewarding.
The Pet Beastro Started With Raw Food
My journey started over two decades ago with our family Yorkie, Max, who fell ill at 10 years old with the dreaded cancer diagnosis. Max was my first childhood dog whom I begged for and was over the moon when I finally got approval from both of my parents. He was fun, energetic, feisty, hard-headed, and always ready for a new adventure. Until the day came that he wasn’t feeling well. This led my family on a path to finding natural healing, herbal remedies, and an out-of-the-box solution of raw feeding. Although raw feeding was a newer concept to our family dog, many canines, especially those who live the farm life, have fresh food in their bowl daily. Humans are advised to eat fresh food and less processed options as well to improve their health.
Raw Pet Food Increases Dog And Cat Health & Longevity
The stories I have from almost 25 years of feeding raw, to supporting those who want to feed raw, to those who turned to raw for their pets' health, become raving fans of the fresh food movement. You can visibly see your pet’s health change from improved skin & coat, healthier stools, decreased water gulping, lessened ear infections, reduced gas, increased energy, better digestion, improved breath, and healthier teeth plus so much more!
Each year, our favorite manufacturers support our RawFest event with discounts and savings for our furtastic pet parents! Below is the line-up of our in-store-only offerings for your cats and dogs! These discounts are only available from August 13th - 22nd, while supplies last. No rainchecks. Please read each special carefully.
