About
Us
It all started
with a passion to help
our own aging cats and dogs get healthier. After a lifetime of
eating processed food and a consequential lack of graceful aging, we
realized that there was clearly a better way to feed them. We
immediately started adding generous portions of real food to their
commercial processed food. Not only did their quality of life and
vitality increase by leaps and bounds, we believe they lived years
longer as a result. Our beloved eighty-five pound dog Rufus lived
sixteen years and both our ten pound dog Pepper and our cat Dexter
made it past seventeen. This only after the four years of
fresh
food additions to their diets.
Over the years
we started noticing the
same trend with all the pets we knew. The pets fed name brand
commercially processed food maintained what we called “surviving”
mode, yet the fresher fed pets were always
healthier! We called that “thriving” mode. These cumulative and
clear-cut
results were a driving force for us to open up our store; we wanted
to offer pet parents better, fresher and healthier products for their
pets.
