Solution-based feeding is the focus for all Grandma Lucy’s recipes. Each nutritious freeze-dried formula is made using only wholesome, minimally processed ingredients.
Ingredients with a Purpose
It takes high-quality ingredients to produce high-quality food. That’s why Grandma Lucy’s uses only the highest quality ingredients from trusted suppliers and farms. Pureformance recipes are perfect for all breeds and life stages—feed them as a main meal, topper or as an addition to any homemade treat!
Family Values
Grandma Lucy’s is a company that cares. They care about pets, they care about nutrition, and they care about ingredients. They also care about giving, and they care about getting it all done right.
How Freeze-Drying Works
The freeze-drying process used by Grandma Lucy’s removes 92% of the water in the ingredients, leaving a food that is lightweight, compact, shelf-stable and preservative-free. Compared to other drying processes like dehydration or air drying, freeze-drying is better at retaining the characteristics of raw food. It preserves more flavor and keeps much of the food’s original texture after reconstitution.

About Grandma Lucy’s
Grandma Lucy’s began when founders Breann & Eric Shook started their quest for safe, healthy dog treats. Their 11-year old English Cocker Spaniel, Lucy, had developed food allergies that prevented her from eating most treats, and as they learned what was in pet food, they were surprised at the inferior ingredient quality. After consulting with vets and nutritionists, they started home cooking Lucy’s meals and treats, and what resulted was the basis for the healthy pet foods they make today.
There are approximately 4 cups per 1 pound of food. The 10 pound bag would have about 40 cups and the 3 pound bag would have about 12 cups of food.
Is the meat in Grandma Lucy’s raw or cooked when it is freeze dried?
Answer by • Oct 11, 2022
The ingredients are raw when freeze dried. Grandma Lucy's gentle freeze-drying process removes 92% of the water contained in their ingredients leaving a food that is lightweight, compact, shelf-stable without the use of refrigeration and preservative-free. Freeze-drying, as compared to other drying processes such as dehydrating or air drying, is better at retaining the characteristics of the raw food. It is well known that the process retains more flavor components and results in reconstituted textures that most closely resemble the original meats and vegetables.

Smells good but was very crumbly
The food smelled very good but was in large crumbs almost like coarse flour. Smells good but didn't appeal to my dog. Wish there was a trial pack for such situations. Will be donating the remainder of the food away.

Dogo allergies
Our Dogo Argentino is allergic to many of the binders found in regular dog food. We moved her to a 100% raw diet, but it was too much work for our busy lifestyle. Also our dog can only eat lamb and rabbit, which are not easy to come by in our metro area. A local high end pet food shop recommended using this food to supplement our girl's raw diet, and she loves it. Her coat is shiny and all of her allergy issues are resolved. The dehydrated food takes a lot of water and takes a few minutes to prepare. Don't rush it, your dog will not like it if not prepared properly. We have noticed that our dog doesn't drink much water on this diet mix. I would definitely recommend this as an option for food sensitive dogs and to use with raw food.

Good ingredients
I use this as a supplement to raw food. I'm not a huge fan of veggies and fruit in a dog's diet but this does help the raw food last longer, especially considering the supply lines might be affected. The Pureformance recipe does not contain a ton of unnecessary ingredients, like potatoes and grains, so I appreciate that immensely. My dogs love it ! And even the cats have tried a little (but I do not do this on a regular basis because cats are carnivores not omnivores). I will definitely purchase this brand again because the ingredients are actually identifiable before, and after, reconstituting it. Not a complete substitute for raw food, but definitely a good supplement to raw food.

Dog Won’t Eat It
My dog loves the less healthy Grandma Lucy “Artisan” line but it’s been difficult getting him to eat the “Performance” line. He’ll eat it if I mix in a significant amount of canned pumpkin, but if I serve it as it’s supposed to be served, he isn’t interested. Dog food that a dog won’t eat is essentially useless.
