Unsafe food handling
Unsafe food handling, broken promises, and deeply hostile customer service.
I prefer to support local businesses, but the appalling treatment and total lack of professionalism from 808 Raw Pet Food cannot go unaddressed. What started as a promising local source for my dogs quickly devolved into health hazards, failed orders, and unhinged hostility from management.
1. Food Safety & Delivery Failure:
Our first delivery arrived 3/4 thawed in a plain cardboard box—leaking blood and dangerously warm. When we raised legitimate safety concerns about raw meat sitting uninsulated in traffic, the response was a dismissive, "Sorry, traffic was crazy." They offered a partial refund for the ruined food and told us to just pick up in-store from then on. That was September 9th. The refund was never issued.
2. Complete Breakdown in Communication:
On September 14th, we placed an in-store pickup order for 22 lbs of raw food. The automated confirmation promised, "We'll be in touch with updates about your order." After hearing nothing for two days, I reached out on the 15th and 16th asking to cancel and request a refund due to zero communication. Two days after that, I finally received a text claiming pickup is "anytime"—a policy stated nowhere during checkout. On September 16th, I was promised a full refund within 1–3 days.
3. Hostility and Unprofessionalism:
By September 23rd—still having received no refund for either incident—I sent a direct, private message addressing the lack of follow-through. Rather than blasting them publicly, I attempted to resolve it privately.
The owner's response was the most childish, vile, and aggressive interaction I have ever experienced with a business owner. Instead of taking accountability for failed deliveries, missing refunds, and ghosting customers, he launched into an unprovoked, hostile tirade for daring to question his customer service.
The Bottom Line:
While the product itself exists, the operations behind it are a hazard. Deliveries arrive thawed and messy, order fulfillment is a guessing game, promised refunds are ignored, and any polite customer feedback is met with explosive, entitled anger. If you value food safety, basic respect, and honest business practices, take your money elsewhere.
