It all began in 2018 when a cute and loving mini bull terrier entered the lives of Jay and Carissa. As Poe continued to grow, so did her love for people and food! Poe is food driven however as much as Poe would love to eat whatever her heart desires her body did not agree. Poe had problems keeping her food down, ongoing ear infections, itchy skin, and many other health conditions. Poe’s pawrents began to do research and discovered the benefits of the raw food diet. Making the switch to the raw food diet opened the possibilities to a healthier life for Poe.

In 2019, Jay and Carissa began to connect with different people in the dog community and discovered they were not the only ones that have dogs that struggle with food allergies or want the best for their furry loved ones. Exchanging stories with fellow dog owners, Jay and Carissa discovered their passion to share their knowledge and ideas with others.

In 2020, Jay took a few courses and became certified as a Raw Dog Food Nutrition Specialist. Jay began to meal prep raw food meals to different people in the dog community. However, due to the COVID pandemic it became hard for many to financially keep up with their weekly meal preps. Jay and Carissa put a pause to the raw food meal prep and brainstormed ways to spread the word to the dog community that all dogs can eat healthy. Then one day, the idea came to Jay….single ingredient dehydrated dog treats!

With Jay and Carissa’s love for dogs and desire to share healthy single ingredient dehydrated treats, Poe’s Raw Kitchen was established.
