Our Values
- Heart for Pets & People: Driven by our passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, we lead with our heart for pets and their parents. Our goal is to reflect this level of care every day with our customers, but also internally within our team. Empathy guides our interactions, shaping how we listen, understand, and help people feel valued and heard.

- Transparency: We believe in full transparency. That’s why our formulas contain only meat proteins, low to no starch, and absolutely no fillers. Owning and operating our own factory, we control the manufacturing process from start to finish. No hidden details – just honest information – so you can be confident your pet is eating what’s best for them.
- Trust in Nature: Joined by the common belief that nature provides the healthiest options for pets, we formulate according to these wilderness principles. We have over 30 years of research, scientific knowledge, and hands-on experience to guide pet owners on a lifetime journey of health for their beloved pets. We translate this belief into everything we create to support healthier, happier pets.
