Yes! Our Human-Grade Dog Food mix undergoes a gentle air-drying process that helps maintain both flavor and nutritional value. Sonny’s Dog Food is crafted with care, formulated by PhD-level veterinarians, USDA-certified, AAFCO-approved, and rigorously tested for common pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and Microorganisms (APCs).

Air drying strikes a perfect balance between cooked and raw food methods. It keeps more nutrients and flavor intact compared to traditional high-heat processing. While raw food and freeze-dried raw may lose nutrients and pose food safety risks, Sonny's unique air-drying method includes a crucial step to eliminate pathogens, ensuring safety without the handling concerns of raw diets.

This drying method keeps Sonny's food fresh for weeks after opening, and it has enough moisture to be enjoyed straight from the bag, no prep necessary.

If you prefer, you can always store Sonny’s in the fridge or freezer for extra freshness!

Gradually introducing Sonny’s to your dog’s diet will prevent tummy troubles. Follow the steps below for a smooth transition. It’s normal for your dog to experience some digestive changes during this process, so don't stress if their stool quality fluctuates.

Tip: If your pup’s hesitant about the new food, adding some warm water or sodium-free broth might make it more appealing.

Sonny’s recipes are proudly crafted in the USA, right in the heart of the Midwest. We make everything in USDA-monitored, human-grade facilities dedicated to jerky production. To maintain the highest standards, we ensure that all our proteins are kept separate during processing.

Sonny’s pieces have a soft, jerky-like texture that’s perfect for your dog. Since each piece is handmade, sizes may vary slightly.

Dogs with sensitive mouths, dental issues, or fewer teeth may prefer their Sonny’s softened in warm water or low-sodium broth to make it easier to chew.

Sonny’s is measured by weight, not volume, so "a cup" isn’t the same as a standard kitchen cup. One full cup of Sonny’s weighs about 4.6 oz or 93 grams, which provides roughly 550 calories.

Here’s a breakdown of different portions:
1 Full Cup = 4.6 oz
1 Scant Cup = 4 oz
¾ Cup = 3.5 oz
½ Cup = 2.3 oz
¼ Cup = 1.15 oz
