Inside Every Bag
What's inside the bag
No fillers. Ever.The Difference
Belly Biotics™, built into every bite
Most foods sprinkle probiotics on top, where heat and time kill them. We build the full live biotic system — a prebiotic (inulin), 5 live probiotic strains, and a postbiotic (yeast culture) — right into the recipe, so gut support survives the bowl.
The 5 live strains: Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus reuteri & Bifidobacterium animalis — fermentation products built into the food.
Prebiotics
Inulin fiber that nourishes beneficial bacteria already in the gut.
Probiotics
5 live strains that help populate and balance the gut microbiome.
Postbiotics
Yeast-culture postbiotics that promote a healthy gut microbiome and strengthen immune health.
What's already in every bowl
Your supplement cabinet, built into one bowl.
Get Joy is designed around gut health — the foundation of whole-body wellness — so one daily bowl supports the needs many owners chase with a shelf full of separate products.
One bowl, built to support it all. Joy starts from within.
Get Joy is a complete food designed to support everyday wellness through gut health. It is not a medicine and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease; it is not a substitute for veterinary care or prescribed supplements. Talk to your vet about your dog's specific needs.
The real cost of your dog's health
Your dog needs a lot. One bowl can support it all.
Many dog parents end up buying probiotics, oils, and supplements separately. Because gut health is the foundation of whole-body health, Get Joy is built to support those needs from one daily bowl.
Every category. One bowl. Better for them, never a bummer for you.
Supplement prices reflect average retail cost of leading branded products at standard dosages (Amazon, Chewy, brand-direct). Get Joy subscription reflects average recurring subscriber order value. Individual prices and needs vary; not intended as medical or treatment claims.

FAQs
Have a Question?
Is Freeze Dried right for my dog? How should I serve it? We're always around to lend a helping paw.
Freeze-dried raw is a way of preserving real, raw ingredients while protecting their natural nutrients.
The process gently removes moisture from raw food at very low temperatures. Because it avoids high heat, more of the original nutrients, enzymes, and flavor stay intact compared to many traditional processing methods. The result is raw nutrition that's shelf-stable, easy to store, and easy to serve.
At Get Joy, our freeze-dried raw recipes are paired with our proprietary Belly Biotics™ blend of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to support digestive balance and gut health in every bowl. Many dog parents choose freeze-dried raw because it delivers the benefits of raw nutrition with the convenience of a dry food.
How to feed freeze-dried raw (incl. as a topper) → · Shop Freeze-Dried Raw →
Belly Biotics™ is Get Joy's proprietary gut-health blend built structurally into every Freeze-Dried Raw Meal — not added as a separate supplement or sprinkled on after processing. It combines three components that work together as one complete system:
Prebiotics (Inulin)
Dietary fibers that feed the beneficial bacteria already living in your dog's gut. Without prebiotics, probiotics have limited fuel to establish and survive.
Probiotics (5 strains)
Live beneficial microorganisms including Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. reuteri, and Bifidobacterium animalis — replenishing and supporting a balanced gut microbiome. Get Joy retains 3 billion CFU per pound, one of the highest concentrations in pet food.
Postbiotics (Yeast Culture)
The bioactive compounds produced when probiotics ferment prebiotics — including short-chain fatty acids that nourish the gut lining and support immune regulation. Postbiotics are the functional output of a healthy gut. Most foods stop at probiotics. We go one step further.
All three depend on each other, which is why Belly Biotics™ was designed as a complete, integrated system rather than a single-ingredient supplement. This is what makes Get Joy function-led nutrition — not just food.
Pre, pro & postbiotics explained → · Shop Freeze-Dried Raw →
Freeze-Dried Raw Meals are shelf-stable — no refrigeration needed before or after opening.
Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. After opening, reseal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness and protect the live probiotics in Belly Biotics™. For best results, use within 30 days of opening. Unopened bags have a shelf life of 2 years from the manufacture date.
Yes! Our Fresh Freeze Dried Meals are great for all ages and retain 97% of the nutrients in the ingredients thanks to freeze drying technology, so you can rest assured that you're feeding your young one food that will help them grow up strong and healthy.
Unfortunately our Fresh Meals are not yet formulated for puppies, but stay tuned because we're cooking up a new recipe for that too!
We recommend transitioning gradually over 7–10 days to help your dog's digestive system adjust comfortably. Start by mixing a small amount of Get Joy with your dog's current food and slowly increase each day:
- Days 1–3: 25% Get Joy, 75% current food
- Days 4–6: 50% Get Joy, 50% current food
- Days 7–9: 75% Get Joy, 25% current food
- Day 10+: 100% Get Joy
A gradual transition helps your dog's gut microbiome adjust to the new nutrition, supporting smoother digestion and more consistent stools. If your dog has a particularly sensitive stomach, extend the transition a little longer. Consistency and patience usually lead to the best results.
