What is a Raw Dog Food Co-Op?
A raw food co-op is an organization that facilitates bulk purchases of raw pet food for local raw feeders. Over the years, I've noticed that many raw food co-ops have the following characteristics:
- A couple of people manage the business.
- An annual membership fee can range from $40 up to $300.
- An ordering calendar; a co-op doesn't often allow you to place on-demand orders; instead, you have to wait for an “order” to open when you need food or product.
- Designated pick-up areas; many co-ops aren't brick-and-mortar stores. Instead, a delivery driver will drop off orders in areas on specific dates at specific times.
- A website and/or Facebook page to share details of the co-op, orders, and communicate with fellow members.
Benefits of a Raw Food Co-Op
- A co-op may help you cut your monthly raw food budget in half or more.
- Some co-ops are like shopping at a local pet store, but everything is discounted.
- I can partner with another raw feeder if I don't need a bulk order.
- I'm automatically connected to a community of local raw feeders.
- The people who manage our co-op are always looking for the best deals and new products to offer.
- We can get the best quality meat from confirmed humane/organic farms.
- My pick-up location is 10 minutes from my house.
- I can buy nearly everything I need for my dogs and cat through our local co-op.
How to Find Raw Food Co-Ops Near You
The following is a list of raw food co-ops I've found through online research and fellow raw feeders. I have not vetted these co-ops for quality, service, fees, or policy. I do not know the people who manage these co-ops. If you have questions, please direct them to the co-op of your choice. The only co-op I have experience with is Wazzuor, which serves parts of Washington and Oregon.
This list is organized by state, and there is one listing for Canada. To find your state, hit Ctrl-F on a PC or Command-F on a Mac and enter your state's name in the search bar that opens. For Canada, search for “Canada.”

Need Help with Recipes?
I do DIY raw feeding, which is easier and less expensive than commercial raw. I'm raising five dogs on a raw food diet and find that ordering in bulk and bulk meal prep is best for me, and I share my raw dog food recipes on my blog.
If you want someone to create a meal for you, that is an option. I recommend Scott Marshall of Raw Feeding 101. You can also check out online raw feeding courses.
