From NFL linebacker to raw feeding advocate.

In this episode, we sit down with Nathan Gerry, former linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles and founder of Rawly Raw Pet Food in South Dakota, to talk about how one dog changed everything.

Nathan shares how raw feeding transformed his dog’s life, what it’s like advocating for fresh food in a kibble-heavy world, and why whole-food nutrition matters for dogs, working dogs, athletes, and pet parents who want to do better.

We also talk about the origin story of Rawly, the dogs who inspired the mission, and how this company is supporting canine health beyond the bowl.

Whether you’re raw curious, already feeding fresh, or just love hearing from dog dads who went all in for their dogs, this is a great conversation.
