Heritage & History
Tucker's was founded in 2009 by Jeff Kalish in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, with a mission to make raw feeding simple and accessible for dog owners who wanted the nutritional benefits of a raw diet without the complexity of preparing it themselves. Kalish's answer was freeze-dried raw dog food — complete, balanced, and ready to serve — produced in the same USDA-inspected facility where food for schools, retail stores, and restaurants is made.
That choice of facility reflects Tucker's core commitment: if it's good enough for human food, it's good enough for dogs. The Pleasant Prairie facility operates under strict USDA oversight on a production floor shared with human food products, a standard that most pet food manufacturers don't come close to meeting. Every meat ingredient is USA-sourced, with suppliers in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin providing pork, chicken, beef, bison, duck, salmon, and lamb.
Made in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin
Tucker's freeze-dried formulas are handmade and hand-packed in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, with the same workforce and facility producing every batch. The formulas follow a straightforward philosophy: 95% meat, organ, bone, and marrow, with 5% pumpkin as a low-glycemic fiber source. No fillers, no artificial preservatives, no grains — just whole food ingredients in complete, balanced ratios.
The Tucker's domino shape is practical innovation: the unique flat square makes each piece easy to break into training treats or serve whole as a meal or topper. This versatility — Tucker's works as a complete diet, a meal topper for kibble, or a high-value training treat — is part of what made the brand successful with both raw-feeding enthusiasts and conventional kibble feeders looking to add real food to their dogs' diets. All formulas are team-reviewed by PhD Zoological Nutritionists with expertise in carnivore nutrition.
