Healthy Dogma started, as most foods do, in the kitchen. When their beloved dog, Rocky, was diagnosed with cancer, Tom and Mary Beth went looking for dog food that could give Rocky all of the nutrition that he needed to stay as healthy as he could. Finding nothing on the market, they decided to make their own. With his new diet, Rocky was able to continue to live a normal life for many years. Seeing how a nutrient-rich diet kept Rocky happy and energetic, Tom and Mary Beth decided to help other pet owners who were on the same journey.
