As pet owners, we bring home and raise our fur-buddies as part of the family. They enrich our lives, and we nourish theirs.
WILDPAWS began as a way to reach out to my community and bring pet owners together with convenient access to species-appropriate foods and people who know how to use them.
Many of us appreciate the benefits of wholesome nutrition, but with overwhelming selections, conflicting opinions and obscure labeling, it can often make healthy choices confusing. We are here to help you navigate through this information and answer your questions.
At WILDPAWS, we’re confident that you will find healthful choices for your pet that are suitable for your lifestyle and meet the specific needs of your dog or cat.
Every animal’s health status and dietary needs are unique. We want you to feel confident that the food you’re feeding them supports their vitality, longevity and quality of life. Let’s raise resilient pets together and watch those tails wag!
MEET THE FOUNDER
WILDPAWS Pantry is personal.
I was introduced to raw feeding in 2005. My 8-week-old puppy came home with a bloated belly and was noticeably uncomfortable. My basic understanding of physiology and nutrition, led me to first investigate his food source. I was disappointed to learn about the mislabeling of conventional pet foods. It made me think about my own body and the notion of “food for fuel”. What we eat impacts our health, it must be the same for our pets.
I explored alternative diets; often consulting with friends, like-minded pet owners and a Holistic Veterinarian. A home cooked, BARF diet (Biologically Appropriate Raw Diet) quickly resolved my puppy’s bloating, his energy increased and he loved his new food! Other benefits quickly appeared: a shiny coat, white teeth, bright eyes, healthier poops, incredible stamina - all indications that raw feeding was the best choice I could make for my dog.
Today, I am proud to be part of the raw feeding movement.
My affection for my dogs and love for all animals inspires WILDPAWS. I want to engage others to be plugged-in to their pets overall wellness. I’m here to help make raw feeding and natural alternatives simple to understand and easily accessible to fellow pet parents. Our paw friends deserve the very best from us!
