    Why Denver-area households ask about raw

    Altitude and cold chain

    Front-Range temperature swings are hard on shipped dry ice. The plan is a local refrigerated route, not multi-day parcel freight.

    Apartment-friendly portions

    Cat boxes and toy-dog boxes are sized so a typical apartment freezer can hold two weeks at a time.

    Trail dogs

    The quiz lets you mark active or working dogs so the portion estimate can reflect a real Saturday on the trail. Estimates are not a veterinary feeding prescription.

    Planned Denver-metro coverage

    Exact coverage is still being mapped. Add your ZIP to the waitlist and we'll confirm whether we can reach you before ordering opens.

    FAQs — raw pet food in Denver

    What is PurePawRaw planning for Denver?

    A refrigerated raw food service for Denver-area cats and dogs, with boxes sized by weight. Deliveries are planned every two weeks on Fridays. Joining the waitlist is free. No payment, no card, and no subscription starts — we'll email you when ordering opens in your area.

    Do you serve cats too, or just dogs?

    Both. Cat boxes are sized for one or two indoor cats. Dogs have toy, small, and medium boxes plus a large-dog add-on. Multi-pet households will share one delivery once ordering opens.

    Is the food human-grade and AAFCO complete?

    We buy human-grade meat, organ, and bone from suppliers we choose ourselves, and we'll publish supplier details as we finalize them. Recipes are formulated toward AAFCO nutrient profiles for their intended species and life stage. Final nutritional adequacy statements will be published on every label before ordering opens. AAFCO does not certify products, and we have not completed a veterinary-nutritionist review yet. AAFCO does not certify or stamp pet food.

    Which areas are you planning to cover?

    Denver-area communities within about 50 driving miles of Aurora, including mapped ZIPs in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Centennial, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Boulder, Golden, Wheat Ridge. Exact coverage is still being mapped. Add your ZIP to the waitlist and we'll confirm whether we can reach you before ordering opens. Or call (303) 957-8411.

    Can I rotate proteins?

    The planned catalog is chicken, turkey, beef, duck, and lamb. Protein swaps will be available from your account once ordering opens — joining the waitlist does not lock a protein or a price.

    What if a delivery is missed or arrives damaged?

    If we miss a delivery, we refund it to the original payment method. If an order arrives damaged or thawed, send a photo to owners@purepawraw.com within 24 hours of delivery and we refund it to the original payment method. Pause or cancel before the Wednesday midnight Mountain Time cutoff. Counsel should still review the published terms on /terms#refunds.
