American Legion Auxiliary members now have an amazing opportunity to care for their fluffy best friends and support a veteran-owned small business in a new member benefit partnership.
The ALA is partnering with 3 Raw Hounds, a family-owned, veteran-founded pet nutrition business dedicated to providing high-quality, human-grade raw food and treats for dogs.
ALA members receive 10% off purchases from 3 Raw Hounds as part of our commitment to support veterans and their families while also offering meaningful benefits to our members.
U.S. Marine Corps veteran Mike and his wife, Julie, started their business after their dogs experienced multiple recalls from commercial kibble. Determined to provide a better option, the family transitioned their dogs to a raw diet and saw immediate, lasting improvements in overall health, energy, and digestion. That experience led to the creation of 3 Raw Hounds, with a mission centered on improving dogs’ quality of life through nourishing, wholesome food.
3 Raw Hounds now offers affordable, human-grade raw dog food and all-natural treats made with USDA-inspected ingredients that buyers can lavish their four-legged friend.
Inspired by their own three beloved dogs, 3 Raw Hounds is committed to transparency, quality, and long-term pet wellness.
“This partnership reflects what the American Legion Auxiliary stands for — supporting veteran families, strengthening our communities, and creating value for our members,” said ALA National Headquarters’ Development Assistant Amanda Freeman. “We are excited to offer a benefit that aligns with those values while helping members care for their four-legged family members.”
The partnership not only aligns with the ALA’s values and mission but 3 Raw Hounds’ purpose as well, which makes it a perfect opportunity.
“Partnering with the American Legion Auxiliary is incredibly meaningful to us as a veteran-owned business,” Mike said. “We believe in supporting the community that has supported us, and this partnership allows us to do so while continuing our mission to improve the lives of dogs through wholesome, high-quality nutrition.”
