Red Dog Blue Kat (RDBK) is a Canadian pet food manufacturer based in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Founded in 2004, the company specializes in raw pet food and minimally processed diets for dogs and cats, producing frozen raw dog and cat food as well as shelf-stable, gently dried raw products distributed through pet specialty retailers in Canada.[1][2]
History
Red Dog Blue Kat began producing raw dog and cat food in Metro Vancouver in 2004.[1] Canadian business and trade coverage has discussed the company’s early growth and subsequent expansion of production facilities.[3][4]
Products and innovation
RDBK produces frozen raw pet food and a line of gently dried, shelf-stable raw pet food marketed as Everyday Raw Anywhere. Introduced in April 2025, the shelf-stable products use a process referred to as GentleDry. Industry publications reported company claims that the process retains 95% of nutrients and reduces carbon emissions compared to freeze-drying.[5][6] Trend coverage has also discussed the shelf-stable raw launch and process.[7]
Manufacturing and food safety
Trade coverage has described the company operating a facility in British Columbia with a focus on food-safety programs, including a CFIA-inspected and HACCP-verified operation.[6] A Canadian packaging industry profile reported the company’s move into a 12,000-square-foot production site serving pet specialty retailers.[8]
Distribution and market
Business coverage has noted that Red Dog Blue Kat’s raw pet food is sold in pet stores across Canada, with distribution through independent and specialty retailers.[1][2]
Industry recognition and media coverage
The brand and its raw pet food product launches have been covered by Canadian trade and industry sources, including Food in Canada, Business in Vancouver, and Pet Food Processing, as well as an industry association outlet, Pets Canada.[2][1][5][9]
