TRUE QUALITY STARTS AT THE FARM - GRASS FED MEATS

True quality starts at the farm

Grass-Fed Meats are the basis for our delicious, mouth-watering, natural raw chubs.

All of our meats are 100% British, human grade, and are locally sourced.

We blend the meats with vegetables and then our other Superfood ingredients.

Lets explore more about the benefits of grass-fed meat.

Grass-fed and pasture-raised raw dog food is big news in the raw dog food arena, with more consideration being given to ethical farming methods, animal welfare and soil regeneration.

Choosing meat from grass-fed and pasture-raised animals is the optimal choice if those factors are a consideration for you and your four-legged friend.

Not only are grass-fed products better for the animals and the planet, but have been shown to carry better nutrition too; your dog will receive a higher level of nutrients such as vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin A, the antioxidant glutathione, and vital omega-3 fatty acids are widely discussed and reviewed as being much higher in grass-fed as opposed to grain-fed cattle.

Another important nutrient recognised as up to three times higher in grass-fed than in grain-fed animals is a fatty acid known as CLA (conjugated acid).  CLA is an omega-6 fatty acid and in this case, as it is delivered in its natural form, it is a very useful one.  It has been linked to increased muscle mass, a reduction in obesity, diabetes and even cancers. 

If you already feed raw dog food, or are looking to support a raw-fed dog suffering from skin problems, a switch to feeding minces and raw meaty bones from grass-fed or wild cattle is a huge step in the right direction. 

What do the terms ‘grass-fed’ or ‘pasture-raised’ mean?

Undoubtedly grass-fed, pasture-raised food is healthier for your dog.  Let us explain what the terms mean for you.  An animal could at times be fed grass whilst living away from a pasture field so the meat would be a grass-fed product but could not be classed as pasture raised.  Ideally you would look for a company with products which can be labelled as both, which Basil’s can.

Here at Basil’s, we are proud that our Beef and Lamb products can carry both accolades, even being grass-finished too, while our wild-caught local Venison achieves all three labels naturally.  Occasionally, during extreme weather conditions, our grass-fed, pasture-raised animals may be housed inside for their protection.
