Giving your puppy the best start in life begins with proper nutrition. Joey’s Raw provides a balanced, nutrient-rich diet packed with essential vitamins and minerals to support healthy growth and development.

Why Raw Nutrition Matters for Puppies

A raw diet closely mimics what dogs would eat in nature, offering high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense produce that promote strong bones, a robust immune system, and sustained energy levels.

Joey’s Raw meals contain lean proteins like beef, chicken, lamb, and salmon, ensuring your puppy gets the essential amino acids needed for muscle growth and overall vitality. Organ meats such as liver, kidney, and gizzard provide crucial nutrients like iron and B vitamins for brain development and heart health.

Key Ingredients for Puppy Health

  • Carrots and apples – Provide fiber for digestion and essential vitamins for eye health.

  • Spinach and broccoli – Offer vital minerals like calcium and potassium for bone strength.

  • Eggshell powder – A natural source of calcium for strong teeth and skeletal development.
