Have a Question?
Being a dog companion and having burning questions go hand in hand. We're always around to lend a helping paw when in need.
Both freeze-dried raw and gently cooked fresh dog food are minimally processed options that can provide high-quality nutrition for dogs.
Fresh meals are often a great step up from traditional heavily processed foods because they use whole ingredients and gentle preparation methods.
Freeze-dried raw goes one step further.
By removing moisture at very low temperatures instead of cooking the food, freeze-drying helps preserve more of the natural nutrients and integrity of raw ingredients while still creating a convenient, shelf-stable meal.
At Get Joy, we offer both formats because they serve different needs.
• Gently cooked fresh meals provide soft, whole-food nutrition that many dogs love.
• Freeze-dried raw meals deliver highly concentrated, nutrient-dense nutrition with the convenience of a shelf-stable food.
Both are designed around our gut-first philosophy, supporting digestion, nutrient absorption, and whole-body wellness. Many dog parents start with fresh meals and add freeze-dried raw as a topper or transition to it over time for more concentrated functional nutrition.
Yes. Your dog will continue to receive the same recommended daily amount of food based on their age, weight, and activity level.
The only thing changing is the pack size—not the amount of food your dog receives.
Storage depends on the type of Get Joy food you’re serving.
Freeze-Dried Raw Food
Our freeze-dried raw recipes are shelf-stable. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. After opening, reseal the bag tightly to maintain freshness and nutrient integrity. Refrigeration or freezing is not required.
Gently Cooked Fresh Meals
Our gently cooked meals should be kept refrigerated and used by the date listed on the package. If you’re not planning to serve them right away, they can also be stored in the freezer and thawed in the refrigerator before feeding.
No matter which option you choose, proper storage helps maintain the quality of the ingredients and ensures your dog receives the full nutritional benefits in every meal.
Your dog’s portions are personalized based on several factors, including age, weight, breed size, activity level, and ideal body condition.
We use nutritional guidelines developed alongside veterinary nutrition expertise to estimate the calories your dog needs each day to support healthy digestion, steady energy, and overall wellness.
Because every dog is unique and metabolism can vary, portions may need small adjustments over time. You can easily update your feeding plan if your dog’s needs change.

Best thing for my companion
Ben had his annual checkup on Saturday and is in tip top shape. He has been on Get Joy almost 9 months and at 12 years old his coat is shiny, his teeth are white, his eyes sparkle with mischief, and he is at optimal weight. Thank you! He is my diabetes alert companion, who has saved me many times.

Healthy Gut Thanks To Get Joy
My 2 pups LOVE this food. They rarely have stomach issues (unless they get into something!) and their poops are excellent. I know they have a healthy gut and it's because of this food!
