Founder and CEO Karen Scoggins reveals that with the massive pet food recall of 2007 and the loss of her dog, she was driven to develop a dog food that used only safe, fresh, all-natural ingredients. “Work- ing with nutritionists and veterinarians, we created a restaurant-quality blend that provides maximum nutrition with the least processing, and no harmful preservatives,” says Scoggins.

Investing in healthier nutrition throughout your dog’s life eliminates a variety of health related issues and lowers health care costs—and a longer, healthier life is the best gift a pet parent can give.
