a boy and his dog
Our story begins like so many others: with a boy who loved his dog. Rudy adored his dog, Lady, and fed her only best-selling household food brands. In spite of this, she always seemed plagued with illness and discomfort. She sadly passed away earlier than expected due to tainted dog food. This loss left an indelible mark.
a new chapter…and old signs
When Rudy was a much taller boy with many more responsibilities, a new furry friend came into his life. Determined not to repeat the same tragedy, Rudy invested in a popular “human-grade” dog food. Despite this, he began noticing the skin and digestive issues associated with poor quality foods. When he began investigating the label’s ingredients, he saw many additional synthetic supplements were added to counter the poor nutrient amounts in the low-quality ingredients.
fed up
An engineer and lifelong-learner, Rudy decided to take matters into his own hands. He threw himself into a world of scientific studies, articles, journals, and reports on canine health. This obsession and his startling findings around the correlation between nutrition and quality of life and life expectancy led to creating fresh recipes at home. While he saw major improvements in his doggo’s overall health, he was ready to make his dog meals a 5-star experience.
engineered with love
At the intersection of dog nutrition and technology, magic began to happen. After joining forces with a data scientist and doctor, Rudy used his problem solving coding skills to pioneer a first-of-its-kind AI to generate the most perfectly balanced diet for doggos. The Drooler AI generated 5 recipes every second for a year. At the end of this time period, one winning combination reigned supreme: The Golden Recipe, which remains Drooly’s flagship meal.

Our unique formula, the Golden Recipe, is what differentiates Drooly from all others. We began with a simple purpose: create dog food that would nourish and delight. Rudy partnered with a Data Scientist to create an AI that generated hundreds of thousands of recipes until the Golden Recipe was crafted. This single recipe met all the nutritional requirements, not only to sustain, but to allow dogs to savor mealtime and flourish.
