Our Story

Established in 2021, RawsomePaw Co. was born out of a deeply personal experience—the tragic loss of my sister’s husky, Rocky. Despite exhausting all possible treatments and sparing no expense, Rocky succumbed to an inoperable malignant tumor at a tragically young age. This heartbreaking event made us realize the potential role of his lifelong consumption of overly processed food in exacerbating his condition.

This heartbreaking loss sparked a determination within me to prevent similar stories from unfolding in the lives of other cherished pets. Driven by this mission, I delved into extensive research and obtained certification in pet nutrition. The culmination of this effort is Rawsome Paw Co., where we proudly offer pet food products that are not only Research-driven but also Affordable and Wholesome (RAW) — the essence of our brand.

We take immense pleasure in providing these meticulously crafted products, and it is our sincerest hope that you find joy in feeding them to your furry companions. Your satisfaction means the world to us, and we encourage you to reach out with any questions or feedback you may have. Together, let us embark on a journey toward nourishing our beloved pets with the best possible care.

Warm regards,
Darcy Pritchett, Founder
Rawsome Paw Co.
