About Shepherd Boy Farms
The Shepherd Boy Farms Story, How It All Began
Years of Farming Experience
Shepherd Boy Farms has long been a high-quality supplier for some of the best meat in the US. For years we raised and sold meat all over the country.
From Farm to Table
However, one day we brought home our sweet dog and realized that there just weren’t companies out there for pets that had the same quality we hold for ourselves as a farm. How could we feed our dog anything less than the best? That is when we decided to put our farm practice, knowledge and skills to work for all dogs and cats around the world.
From there we set out to raise the bar for pet manufactures with our high-quality products! Our commitment to quality is reflected in every product we create.

Our Process
01 Flash Freeze
02 Vacuum Chamber
To kick off the long, slow process, food and treats are flash-frozen setting the course to locking in the fresh and intense flavors that our pets love!
Next, they are placed on trays and put into a vacuum chamber at sub-zero temperatures (usually ranging from -30 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit). The vacuum chamber gently extracts moisture without the loss of nutrients that happens when food is cooked, baked, or extruded.
03 Sublimation
04 Freeze Dried
In a process called sublimation, low, radiant heat is applied to the trays, which slowly pulls out moisture without cooking to retain nutrients. Coils or cold plates act as magnets to attract the water vapor and turn it into ice.
Since only water is removed, the food retains the characteristics and natural nutrition of fresh, raw food.
