Premium Pet Food for Gut Health Since 1974
For over 50 years, we have pioneered holistic pet nutrition as the gold standard for gut health. Founded in 1974 by Sissy McGill, our company revolutionized pet food with the introduction of Hund-N-Flocken, proving that high-quality, gut-focused nutrition could transform pet wellness. Our commitment to innovation led to groundbreaking products like SeaMeal, a seaweed-based supplement supporting gut, immune, and skin health. We maintain rigorous quality control, sourcing premium ingredients globally while adhering to strict safety standards.As a B Corp-certified company, we prioritize sustainability and community impact, donating over $500,000 in pet food to charities. Our direct-to-consumer expansion in 2016 made our products accessible through trusted retailers like Amazon and Chewy. Today, we continue advancing gut health research, blending Sissy McGills original vision with modern science to nourish pets mind, body, and spirit.

Nutrient-rich wet food options feature real meat and broth for hydration. Grain-free and whole-grain varieties address specific dietary needs while maintaining gut health through digestive enzymes and seaweed-based supplements.
