All of our meat is human-grade and sourced as ethically and sustainably as possible. Put simply, we care where our meat comes from and the way in which it is procured for your dog’s bowl.

No, Bogey's Mix is a fresh, lightly cooked diet. Our meats and vegetables are prepared the same way we would cook our own food. Our seeds, oils, herbs, and other ingredients are added raw.
Cooking our ingredients provides several benefits. Some dogs may experience improved digestion with a cooked diet compared to raw, and cooked meals are often easier to store and handle. While there are many advocates for raw food, and it can work well for some dogs, we believe a lightly cooked approach offers a balance of nutrition, convenience, and gentleness on sensitive stomachs.
We are the best of all three worlds: complete and balanced meals made from clean ingredients, prepared in a way that’s easy to store and gentle on sensitive tummies.

Bogey's Mix Turkey Recipe includes only ancient grains and avoids high-glycemic-index carbohydrates like white potatoes, rice, and corn. These choices help us provide meals that are lower on the glycemic index, which can support balanced energy levels for dogs.
We also choose to avoid legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, and peas, focusing instead on vegetables and ancient grains. These ingredients provide a wide range of micronutrients and are included in moderate amounts in our recipes.
Our ancient grain of choice is quinoa, a gluten-free pseudo-seed rich in fiber and phytonutrients. The total carbohydrate content in our recipes is very low (a maximum of 6%) compared to other pet foods, such as kibble, which often contain up to 50% grains or legumes.
