Your Dog Will Eat Better Than You At This Food Truck Selling Healthy Snacks To Pets in Long Beach

Ray Anderson's healthy pet food trailer has all kinds of goodies, like doggie beers in flavors such as Beef Brown Ale, Cock-o-Doodle Brew, and Porky Pug Porter. They're free of alcohol, but contain a savory broth that includes glucosamine to support dogs' joint health.

Woof It Up, a food truck catering only to pets, sits a few steps away from Rosie's Dog Beach in Long Beach, just like a good boy.

“It’s an all-doggy food truck with a touch of meow,” Ray Anderson, Woof It Up's owner, tells L.A. TACO. “The reason I call it a 'touch of meow' is because I have a few options for cats, too.”

The food truck is fairly new to Long Beach. Anderson has been open for exactly four months. But even in this short time, Anderson has already garnered the attention of local pups and their owners.

Hooked onto a blue truck and powered by generators, the small food trailer is wrapped with a beachy background that bleeds into an aquamarine sea. The business name runs across the bottom, while a pooch in shades with a “cigar” is pasted on the side.

Walk around to the back of the truck, and you’ll find the real star of the show. A black pug named Frankie Bark Vader. That's Anderson’s dog.
