Product Description
Grandma Lucy's Artisan Venison is a premium freeze-dried formula built around USDA venison — one of the most nutrient-dense proteins available for dogs. Naturally lean, low in fat compared to other red meats, and an excellent source of iron, B vitamins, and zinc, venison provides the complete amino acid profile dogs need to thrive, with a rich, gamey flavor that even the pickiest eaters find irresistible. Paired with sweet potatoes, pumpkin, bananas, and a vibrant blend of superfood fruits and vegetables, this recipe delivers complex carbohydrates, natural antioxidants, and digestive fiber in a gently cooked, freeze-dried format.

Why We Love It
Grandma Lucy's has been a family-owned California company since 1999, founded by Eric and Breann Shook after their English Cocker Spaniel Lucy inspired them to create better pet food. Every Artisan recipe is prepared in small batches at their family facility using human-grade USDA-sourced proteins, whole fruits, and vegetables — no fillers, by-products, GMOs, or artificial preservatives. The freeze-drying process removes moisture while locking in nutrition, flavor, and texture, producing a shelf-stable food that rehydrates in minutes. Grandma Lucy's is also committed to supporting service dog organizations, donating meals with every purchase to help working dogs live healthier lives.
