Penny for your thoughts

We started Shepherd Boy Farms with one goal: to create food we’d feel confident giving our own dogs.
Seeing our recipes included on Susan Thixton’s annual list of pet foods she personally trusts for her own pets is a moment we’re incredibly proud of.

She holds brands to extremely high standards of safety, transparency, and ingredient quality — values we live by every day.

To our community, thank you for supporting a small, family-run brand committed to doing things the right way.

And thank you, Susan, for recognizing that commitment.

Here’s to an amazing 2026 ahead.

Last year, one of my clients switched their pups from "prescription" to Steve's! Proud moment for me. ❤️

Steve's Real Food is honored to be included in Susan Thixton's 2026 List of trusted pet foods for the fifth year in a row! 💙🐾

The nontransparent nature of pet food regulation and ingredient sourcing presents a constant challenge for pet owners seeking to provide optimal nutrition for their pets. This annual List offers the information needed to make a quality pet food decision, after thoroughly vetting manufacturers and verifying ingredient quality.

We take great pride in our sourcing of quality ingredients and our strict manufacturing standards that ensure a safe product. We never take shortcuts or cut costs with inferior ingredients, and happily provide sourcing information for each ingredient on our website.

Thank you for trusting Steve's Real Food for your pets!

Today we’re celebrating something special... Tucker’s has been included on Susan Thixton’s 2026 List for both dog and cat foods, again! 🎉

This review is one of the few in the industry that digs deeper than the label. Susan personally verifies ingredient quality, human-grade sourcing, safety practices, humane conditions, and manufacturing standards. No shortcuts. No fees. No buy-ins.

For our family owned and operated brand in Wisconsin, this recognition means a lot. We’ve always believed that if it wouldn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t belong in your pet’s bowl.

Thank you for trusting us with your pet’s nutrition. Because Pets Are Worth It!

HONEST AGRICULTURE. TRUE NUTRITION. 👩‍🌾 🌱 🐾
Solutions is a part of the prestigious Susan Thixton’s THE 2026 LIST ~ Truth About Pet Food!

🏅 MOST TRUSTED CAT FOOD
🏅 MOST TRUSTED DOG FOOD

Our deepest gratitude belongs to our tireless pet advocates, farm families, food artisans, scientists, pet parents, and veterinarians who help shape every bowl we serve.

This is not a paid seal or a marketing badge. No company can purchase a place on The List.

To be considered, we open our books and our barns.

🔎 We provide proof of:
• how our ingredients are grown and raised
• how our animals are treated
• how our recipes are crafted and tested
• how we protect the land that feeds them

The criteria are simple in words yet demanding in practice: quality, integrity, transparency.

🌱 Sustainability is not an add-on, it is our starting point.
🐄 We prioritise humane, responsible agriculture that leaves the land more alive than we found it.
👩‍⚕️ Our diets are recommended by veterinarians and specially formulated in feeding pets fresh, raw, fermented wholefoods.

When the land is honored, the ingredients carry a different kind of life into the bowl. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, every day.

From Living Soil to Living Food.
