Raw Nutrition. Kibble Convenience. Zero Compromise.
We hear it all the time: “I want to feed raw, but I don’t know where to start.” Between the prep, the freezer space, and the research, raw feeding can feel like a big commitment. But what if you could give your pup all the benefits of a raw diet without all the complexity? That’s exactly what Smack Pet Food delivers. And we are beyond excited to bring it to Barkfield Road.
Smack is a Canadian-born, family-owned brand founded in 2007 with one mission: make the world’s best pet food from whole, real ingredients. They didn’t want to compromise nutrition for convenience, so they engineered a dehydration process that gives you both. The result is a food that sits on a shelf like kibble but nourishes your dog like raw food. It is truly one of a kind and once you understand how it’s made, you’ll understand why we’re so excited about it.
THE DEHYDRATION DIFFERENCE
Here’s something most pet parents don’t know: dehydrated, freeze-dried, and air-dried are not the same thing – and the differences matter. Most premium shelf-stable raw foods on the market are freeze-dried, a process that uses flash-freezing that removes almost all of the moisture, requiring re-hydration. Air-dried foods remove moisture through evaporation, but without the precision to guarantee both safety and full nutrient preservation.
Smack Pet Food does it differently. Their proprietary process runs low enough to protect heat-sensitive vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants, but thorough enough to eliminate all pathogens. This gentle, low-temperature dehydration keeps the natural, beneficial bacteria your dog’s gut thrives on intact. The food is shelf-stable, easy to store, and simple to serve — no freezer, no thawing, no mess.
And here’s the bonus: Smack delivers this level of nutrition at a lower price point than most freeze-dried foods. More nutrients, less cost. Win, win!
REAL INGREDIENTS. NO FILLERS. EVER.
Smack Pet Food’s ingredient list is refreshingly short and every item earns its place. Their recipes are built on single, high-quality animal proteins: antibiotic-free chicken, wild-caught Pacific salmon, and pasture-raised pork, sourced from ethical farms. Paired with organic, non-GMO superfoods — Canadian-grown blueberries, spinach, mango, turmeric, and more — each recipe delivers a complete, biologically appropriate nutritional profile.
What you will never find in Smack:
❌ No legumes, lentils, or peas
❌ No soy, corn, or wheat
❌ No gluten or grain
❌ No synthetic vitamins or minerals
❌ No fillers of any kind
Every nutrient comes from whole food. That means no synthetic vitamins or minerals for the highest nutrient absorption.
THE SMACK PET FOOD LINEUP
We’re carrying the full Smack Pet Food dog food lineup — all five flavors, each built around a single premium protein:
🫐 Very Berry Chicken — Antibiotic-free chicken paired with organic blueberries for a powerful antioxidant boost. Great for everyday feeding and dogs with sensitive stomachs.
🏝️ Caribbean-Salmon Fusion — Wild-caught Pacific salmon rich in Omega-3 fatty acids for skin, coat, and joint health. A top pick for dogs with chicken sensitivities.
