About Primal Pooch
Born from one dog and a whole lot of questions, Primal Pooch is here to make raw feeding and natural living easier for everyday dog parents.
If you’re all about clean eating, natural wellness, and a non-toxic lifestyle, it only makes sense you’d want the same for your dog. That’s what Primal Pooch is all about—helping you extend a similar lifestyle to your dog with fresh food diets (raw is our favorite!), natural healthcare, and clean, non-toxic products.
Rooted in the idea of ancestral health, we believe that a back-to-basics approach helps dogs thrive. If that sounds like your kind of pack—you’re in the right place. Welcome home!

That loss sparked a mission: to find a more natural way to raise dogs. I dove headfirst into raw feeding, canine wellness, and cleaner living with my next dog, Ronnie (the heart and soul of this blog). In 2012, Primal Pooch was born.
I’m not a vet or a canine nutritionist. I’m a modern dog owner from the suburbs — just like you — trying to raise a healthier dog with back-to-nature principles in today’s world. Over the last decade, I’ve done the research, made the mistakes, and kept learning. I created Primal Pooch to be the resource I wish I had when I started: real food guidance, practical tips, and trusted products to help your dog thrive.
This isn’t just about raw diets — it’s about making smarter choices across the board. Whether you're brand new to raw or years in, I’m here to help you cut through the noise and raise a healthier dog, naturally.
Thanks for being here — your dog is lucky to have you.

One curious dog lover, ten+ years of research, and a passion for helping others skip the guesswork.
I’m so glad you’re here — because it means you care deeply about your dog’s health and you’re ready to explore a better way to feed and care for them.
I didn’t grow up feeding raw or thinking about toxins. My first dog, Bear, lived on cheap kibble, was over-vaccinated, and exposed to a high toxic load — the norm back then (and still today). We didn’t know better — we just loved him. But his slow decline and eventual passing became the wake-up call that changed everything.
