Our founder, Katie McCarron, first created our dog meals as a healthy, delicious way to entice her picky, older dog, Rosie to eat. Rosie had fallen ill; she was 14 and was no longer eating her food. Katie set out to create better dog food in her own kitchen. Katie focused on using local, all-natural ingredients that were made in the USA. Once Katie started serving Rosie her homemade meals, Rosie regained her appetite and lived for another 2.5 years. With that, Portland Pet Food was started.
