Our why
Mission Statement
Veteran-owned, purpose-driven, and built for dogs that deserve better.
At Berserkergang Bones and Raw, our mission is to forge elite canine nutrition while standing shoulder to shoulder with those who have served. As a veteran-owned and operated company, we are committed to hiring and supporting U.S. veterans, giving them purpose, opportunity, and a continued path forward. Every product we create is built with discipline, pride, and the warrior mindset—because when you support us, you support a veteran family long after the battle is over.
About Us
Forged by Service. Built by Experience. Driven by the Pack.
From the age of 15, animals were never just an interest. They were a calling.
I began my journey working as a veterinary assistant, where I spent three years gaining hands-on experience in animal care and behavior to include working with wolves at a local zoo. Then I answered a greater call to serve in the United States Marine Corps. After serving in the Iraq War, I returned home with the same warrior mindset that would later shape everything behind Berserkergang Bones and Raw.
Like many veterans, the road after service was not a straight one. I worked job to job, learning, building, and grinding until opening Dutch Hill Farm in 2018. There, Cane Corsos were used as livestock guardian dogs, and the foundation for a deeper understanding of canine instinct, structure, drive, and nutrition was forged through daily life with powerful working dogs. Though Dutch Hill Farm closed in 2023, the mission did not end. It evolved.
Today, we live with nine dogs, each serving a purpose within our pack, from protection work to emotional support. We are actively developing our Bullherder and Bandog breeding lines, and every part of what we do is built on real-world experience with strong, driven, working canines.
Needless to say, we know dogs.
With more than 25 years of breeding, training, raising, and living alongside large powerful breeds, we created Berserkergang Bones and Raw with one goal: to provide nutrition worthy of the animals we ask to guard, protect, work, and stand beside us.
Our products are built around what we believe dogs were meant to eat — real food, honest ingredients, and functional nutrition. From dehydrated treats to smoked chews, freeze-dried products, and raw feeding programs, everything we make is designed with the mindset of strength, health, and performance.
This is not mass-produced pet food made in a boardroom.
This is nutrition forged by experience, tested by the pack, and built for dogs that deserve better.
At Berserkergang, we believe every dog carries the spirit of an ancient warrior — loyal, fearless, instinct-driven, and born for more than weakness and filler-fed living. Our mission is to feed that spirit with products that honor the nature of the canine.
Whether your dog is a working protector, a loyal guardian, or a beloved member of the family, we hope you trust us with their nutritional needs.
Semper Fi,

Why we exist
A better chew, with butcher-shop roots
Built around a simple idea: keep ingredients clean, keep flavor real, and make chews that dogs actually want to work on.
The short version
We cold-smoke bones and poultry parts low & slow in New Jersey using USA-sourced ingredients. No fillers. No preservatives. No weird junk.
Our butcher-shop advantage means we can focus on quality and value — using the best parts and minimizing waste. That’s how we can offer marrow bones plus poultry chews like chicken feet & necks — and duck feet, duck necks, and duck heads.

How it’s made
Our Process
Clear steps. Click to expand. A great experience everywhere.
We start with what matters most: clean inputs. USA-sourced beef bones and poultry parts — selected for quality and consistency, including chicken and duck options.
Single-ingredient chews only (bones + poultry parts).
USA-sourced beef bones (marrow bones) and poultry chews.
Poultry includes chicken feet/necks and duck feet/necks/heads.
Why it matters
If the ingredients aren’t right, nothing else matters. Clean inputs are how you get real flavor and a chew you can trust.

Safety note
Always supervise chewing and discard chews that become small enough to swallow or develop sharp edges. For seniors or sensitive teeth, consider gentler poultry chews like chicken feet, duck feet, duck heads, or duck necks.
