EVANGER’S DOG AND CAT FOOD COMPANY
|
 |
In 1935, Fred Evanger started making his own canned foods with pure meat because he felt that his champion Great Danes required superior nutrition in order to prevent any dietary deficiencies. He was not satisfied with the commercial pet foods available to him at that time and believed that using human-grade meats was essential to increasing the dogs’ longevity. Fred was a family friend, and Joel was the raw material supplier for over 20 years for Evanger’s, so in 2002 we bought the company. Today, we continue to innovate with the same enthusiasm as our founder, and we strive to maintain Fred Evanger’s commitment to quality and quest to keep pets healthy and happy. |

well-being of dogs and cats - one can at a time!

A true pet lover and global entrepreneur, Will Post knew he had to do something to help save the lives of his dogs, who are allergic to soy, wheat, rice, and corn. He also needed to help put an end to their dependency on
the traditional drugs prescribed for treatment of food allergies, which could cause stomach issues, seizures, and a shorter life span for his pets. |

PARTY ANIMAL PET FOOD

Having four dogs at the time and endless amounts of love for our pets, we were always searching to feed them something we felt was safe, nutritious, and clean. After several years of unsuccessfully searching for an organic, good tasting, and nutritious line of dog food for our pets, we decided to create our own. Our goal was to develop a certified organic line of pet food. We took our ideas and began working on a line of pet food that was made with only the finest organic ingredients available, allowing us and our future customers to trust what the pets were eating. We worked with our nutrition research team, developmental staff, and leading veterinarians to come up with formulas that not only taste great organically, but also provide a healthy, hormone- and pesticide-free diet for our pets. |

My dog was 5 years old when he died of cancer. I loved my white German Shepherd, and was heartbroken when I was informed he had cancer. I wanted to know why! After researching ingredients, I found that many pet food companies were using harmful ingredients in their food, and I wanted to save other pet owners the heartache that I suffered. |

I’ve had Great Danes since 1958, and back then, I handled them myself at dog shows. In the 1960s, I had three Great Danes who all died of bloat. At that time, no other country in the world (except the US) was using soy, beans, wheat, and corn in their pet food and bloat was only occurring in dogs in the United States. I found it unusual that the Great Danes in Germany were healthy and lived to be 11 to 13 years old, while the American Great Danes only lived to be 7 to 9 years old. So in 1974, I decided to fly to Germany and buy the fawn son of the 1974 World Champion Great Dane and the brindle nephew of the 1973 World Champion Great Dane. I spent four months in Germany learning to speak the language and spending time with the puppy and the breeder of the World Champion Great Dane. This breeder also owned a pet food company, Hund-n-Flocken, which was the number-one-selling pet food in Germany for 20 years, and I believed that the life span and longevity of German Great Danes versus the American Great Danes had to be nutrition related. So I brought back samples of his dog food, over 50 pounds, had the food analyzed and then developed the Solid Gold Health Hund-n-Flocken... |
