About the Author

After his beloved dog Jackson was diagnosed with cancer and given a year to live, Rick Woodford began his dog food journey. Using his professional research skills gained from over twenty years in data analytics, certified veterinary guidance and testing, and love for his furry best friend, Rick opened Dog Stew, a company that produced nutritional, homemade dog food for dogs in the Pacific Northwest. With the original intention to send Jackson out in style by cooking food usually reserved for humans, Rick found the transition from "dog" food to "human" food helped Jackson to live four more years, cancer free.
