Why the name Dee Dee?

The name Dee Dee’s Raw comes from a sweet moment that stuck.

Years ago, a little girl named Faith couldn’t quite pronounce “Darren,” so she called me “Dee Dee.”

The nickname felt natural and genuine — and it captured the simple, personal touch I wanted this business to carry.

It also reflects what Dee Dee’s Raw stands for: love, trust, and keeping things real.

After several years of helping run a dog shelter and managing a raw pet food company, I felt led — by faith — to start something of my own. A local, honest brand that puts your pets’ health first and treats every customer like family.

At Dee Dee’s Raw, we make feeding raw simple, natural, and full of heart — because when it comes to your furry companions, nothing less than the best will do. 🐾❤️

I didn’t start Dee Dee’s Raw to be the biggest — I started it to be honest.
To feed pets the way I believe they were meant to be fed, and to serve people the way I’d want to be treated.

If you’re here, it tells me you care deeply about your pets — and that already means we have something in common. 🐾
