Ruffey Australian Pasture Raised Lamb & Tasmanian Salmon Gently Air Dried Dog Food For our best friends, "good enough" isn't enough; they deserve the foundation for a long and vibrant life powered by a diet that respects their biological roots. Based in Melbourne, Ruffey is a family owned Australian leader in pet wellness, bridging the gap between ancestral wisdom and clinical precision. Our journey led us back to the land, where the Australian Outback has held the secret to perfect preservation for thousands of years through natural air drying. In our state of the art 5,000sqm facility, we’ve traded high heat ovens for proprietary precision machinery that replicates the gentle, nutrient dense power of the Outback wind to lock in the living nutrition that industrial cooking destroys. Nutritional Excellence and Key Benefits 95% Real Australian Animal Meat Proteins and NZ Green Lipped Mussels: Meticulously created by our in house Veterinary and PhD pet nutrition experts, our formula contains 95% real animal proteins featuring Pasture Raised Lamb, Tasmanian Salmon, and NZ Green Lipped Mussels. Skeletal Support: Enriched with Hempseed a natural source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin that works alongside NZ Green Lipped Mussels for healthy movement and skeletal strength. Pantry Stable: Ancestral raw nutrition with the convenience of a dry food; no refrigeration required. Why Choose Ruffey Air Dried Nutrition? Most commercial pet foods are subjected to extreme heat and pressure during the "extrusion" process (used to make standard kibble). This high heat method breaks down the delicate proteins, destroys essential enzymes, and diminishes the bioavailability of vital vitamins. Ruffey bridges the gap between raw food benefits and dry food convenience. Preserving Raw Vitality: Our proprietary air drying process operates at low temperatures, gently evaporating moisture to lock in the "living" nutrition found in raw ingredients. We preserve 95% of the nutrient density, ensuring your dog receives the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids exactly as nature intended. No "Meat Meals" or Powders: While other brands rely on high temperature "meat meals" which are essentially processed, powdered by products Ruffey uses real, whole Australian animal meat proteins. You are feeding your dog exactly what they were evolved to eat, with zero hidden fillers. Ancestral Integrity: By replicating the natural drying winds of the Australian Outback, we create a nutrient dense, shelf stable meal that supports digestion, promotes a lustrous coat, and fuels sustained energy levels. The Clinical Advantage: Every recipe is formulated in house by our own Veterinary and PhD nutrition team. We don't just "make food"; we engineer biological wellness, ensuring every morsel is perfectly balanced, human grade, and held to the highest safety standards in Australia. Total Quality Assurance: While science drives our recipes, precision drives our production. Every single batch is strictly monitored by our QA and Production Manager in our Melbourne facility to ensure it meets the highest Australian quality benchmarks.
