We’re solving the biggest problem in dog health: Obesity

It’s a dog health epidemic that’s only gotten worse in the last decade. Here are the facts:
Many veterinarians have trouble diagnosing and treating obesity.

“When I was practicing in Canada, I participated in a study that found most vets can’t property identify overweight dogs. A morbidly obese dog was considered by most to be mildly overweight, and overweight dogs were considered normal. If us vets have trouble, how can we expect dog parents to know what to do?”

— Dr Christian Cumberbatch, DVM

Trey Steidle
Trey is the proud parent of Smush, the English Bulldog and Shark, the Standard Poodle. Smush and Shark are the odd couple - they couldn't be more different from each other. That got Trey thinking about why fresh dog food is one-size-fits-all. He set out to be the change he wanted 
to see in the world.

CJ Gottuso
CJ and his Vizsla, Oakley, run together almost every day. Since he is an extremely active dog, Oakley's nutrition needs special attention so he stays healthy enough for strenuous activity. CJ wanted to make sure Oakley had the right diet for his athletic lifestyle so he asked his veterinarian to help him customize a nutrition plan.
