About
The Raw Dog Barkery Difference!
All Raw Dog Barkery products are made from human grade Whole Foods sourced from USDA and FDA facilities. We use the same high-quality meats and produce that supermarkets and restaurants use and carefully hand-cut them to ensure attention to detail and quality.
Everything we sell, we made. We don't use copackers or contract manufacturers. We also own and personally operate a freeze-drying company in Wales, Wisconsin called Foodynamics.
At Raw Dog Barkery, our products don't look processed because there not!
We personally source and hand-make every batch of our products. Our philosophy is that dogs and cats deserve the same high-quality whole foods as humans, made from prime cuts of real whole foods and never from trimmings.
All of our ingredients are biologically and species-appropriate for cats and dogs, and founders Sean and Amy Jones have long been advocates of feeding biologically and species-appropriate whole foods to their own pets. You won't find starchy, sugary, or processed ingredients in our products - only the best for our furry friends.
Founders Sean & Amy
Amy and Sean, a dynamic duo, are the proud owners of two independent local pet stores, Whats In The Bowl Pet Shop, located in New Berlin and Brookfield, Wisconsin. They share a deep commitment to pet health and nutrition, transforming their passion into a successful business that caters to the needs of pet parents in their communities.
Sean, with a distinctive blend of expertise, combines his roles as a licensed psychotherapist, former chief healthcare executive, and a lifelong animal enthusiast, which have led him to gain certifications in pet nutrition, canine herbalism, and raw feeding. His academic accomplishments include two master's degrees, underscoring his enthusiasm for imparting knowledge on the benefits of biologically appropriate foods and supplements for pets. He shares his insights and advice through the "Exploring Cat and Nutrition" podcast and is also writing a book titled the same to further enlighten pet owners on this crucial subject.
Amy, a retired special education teacher, realized her lifelong ambition to open a neighborhood pet shop in 2016 after obtaining her certification in pet nutrition. Together, Amy and Sean have raised four children in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and their business ventures significantly contribute to the local community.
Their personal lives are deeply intertwined with their love for animals, as their home in Waukesha is shared with three golden retrievers, Bonnie, Clyde, and Stella, and two cats, Monica and Chandler. Through their stores, podcast, upcoming book, and their freeze-drying company called Foodynamics, Amy and Sean persist in advocating for pet health and wellness, offering guidance, expertise, and a personalized approach to pet parents in their community.
