Raw Dog Food Co-ops and Local Groups
Local co-ops and buying groups can be a great way to get good prices and access to foods you may not be able to find in grocery stores, ethnic markets, and butcher shops.
Groups are listed alphabetically by the state they are centered in, but some serve surrounding states as well. Also see groups in Canada and Europe at the bottom. Some groups are inactive, but there may still be useful information in the archives, links or files sections.
If you don't see a group listed in your area, you can join the CarnivoreFeed-Supplier or CanadianRawPetSupply groups to ask if there are any co-ops or suppliers in your area.
