Gifts for the Pet Lover

Marin Raw offers premium raw pet food and trustworthy treats

When purchasing a gift for a pet lover, the question looms—is the gift actually for the pet or its owner? This is a chicken-and-egg style quandary since the owner will likely be the one who receives, unwraps and expresses gratitude for the gift, but it’s the pet who will enjoy it. As with most issues in life, our philosophy is to “go low.” If you please the pet, you please the owner.

Among the local enterprises facilitating pet-themed gift-giving this season is Marin Raw, the brainchild of Elizabeth Davis. The San Anselmo shop is making tails wag with its commitment to revolutionizing pet nutrition. Inspired by her dog’s cancer diagnosis, Davis delved into raw feeding, sourcing fresh ingredients from local farmers’ markets. The results were transformative—and so was her journey. Armed with a certificate in canine nutrition and a pet food processing license, she launched Marin Raw, a company dedicated to species-appropriate, wholesome pet diets.

From a rented church kitchen to a bustling retail shop in San Anselmo, Marin Raw has become a haven for pet parents seeking high-quality, USDA-certified, human-grade ingredients. Davis’ products are rigorously inspected daily and free from chemicals, preservatives and high-pressure processing (HPP), ensuring every bite is as natural as it is nutritious.

Marin Raw offers an array of proteins—think chicken, duck, rabbit and more—alongside Grab-and-Go Discounted Boxes for convenience and savings. For the holidays, don’t miss bundles offering 40% off, a perfect gift for your furry friends.

Davis also provides free nutrition consultations so one can shop with confidence and see your pets thrive. Marin Raw isn’t just pet food—it’s a labor of love, making every meal a step toward better health.
