At Wag Worthy Meals, we believe every dog deserves real, nutritious food—without the mess, hassle, or mystery ingredients. Our journey started right here in Reno, Nevada, with Shaggy, our 10-year-old Maltese Poodle. Shaggy may be missing half his teeth, but he has a full appetite for life!
Why We Started
After a dental issue left Shaggy needing soft food, we struggled to find a healthy, high-quality dog food that met his needs. The options were disappointing:
🐾 Wet food smelled awful—our house constantly reeked of mystery meat.
🐾 Frozen food took up too much space—with kids in the house, freezer space is precious!
🐾 Most dog food was full of fillers and preservatives—we wanted real ingredients we’d eat ourselves.
That’s when we used our background in manufacturing and lyophilization (freeze-drying) to create a better solution: a shelf-stable, high-quality pet food with a 10+ year shelf life—no preservatives, no stink, just real, fresh food.
