The Healthy Dogma Story

Healthy Dogma’s flagship product PetMix was created in the farmhouse kitchen of our founders, Tom and Mary Beth Peters. Their dog Rocky had just been diagnosed with cancer, pushing them to action for the love of their four-legged companion.

When they couldn’t find any suitable food for dogs battling serious illness on the market, they personally made the best food possible for their beloved pet, allowing Rocky to defy the odds and enjoy a healthy life for several years beyond his prognosis. The Healthy Dogma, clean ingredient, approach to caring for dogs was born, and the promise of wholesome nutrition for every dog has continued for more than 15 years.

The Healthy Dogma family helps pet owners across the United States find the best, real ingredient, nutrition and supplements for their favorite pet. Not only have dogs struggling with serious illness gained additional months or years of life, pets with common issues like hot spots, poor digestion, allergies, arthritis and more have been helped by Healthy Dogma and our wholesome dog food, supplements and treats.

Healthy Dogma is a family owned and operated business, in complete control of our products and their ingredients, insuring consistency and quality with every bag. Nearly all of the ingredients that go into our dog food and supplements are sourced in the USA and every product is packaged in our Michigan facility, just outside of the Motor City.

High-Quality Ingredients

Quality ingredients are vital for the effectiveness of every product we make. We ensure they are of the highest quality. This ensures that each product we send to your home is safe and effective for your dog. If you compare a Healthy Dogma label to a store-bought bag you will immediately understand the importance of real-food ingredients and how “natural” doesn’t mean healthy. If you can’t pronounce the ingredients, it’s probably hurting your dog. Learn more about why “natural” doesn’t mean what you think it does!

Did you know we avoid using fillers or artificial ingredients? This means that your pet will
receive the maximum benefits from the supplements, food, or chews we offer. If you’re

Transparent Manufacturing Processes

Of all types of dog food, dehydrated dog food is one of the safest options available. The dehydration process removes moisture from the ingredients helping it to last longer, especially in comparison to raw food. This means it can come home to your pantry without the need for a plethora of preservatives that are found in kibble. Couple the long shelf life with healthier and real ingredients, and you’ve got a food that is extremely safe and more palatable for your dog. Every ingredient in our PetMix can be found in your grocery store.

You wouldn’t feed your family junk food every day, so why the kibble every day? That big-bag of kibble is junk food, made by combining wet and dry fillers into a dough, super heating it, molding it into pellets and then sucking all the moisture out, and along with all the benefits. A hard, over-cooked nugget, filled with corn, gluten, preservatives and chemicals.

Dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, ages, and activity level will see a marked improvement by switching to PetMix. The process of making our ingredients allows the food to retain important enzymes, nutrients and vitamins that are simply cooked out of most kibble brands. Senior dogs love the amount of retained vitamins in our PetMix and dogs with slowing steps find themselves jumping again, just like us owners do when we lay off the junk food.

If you visit, you may just find our founders hand mixing another batch of PetMix, or creating a new critical care supplement, as the journey to provide the healthiest products to your dog, is our journey, everyday.
