About Us

At Hound & Gatos we believe that all cats and dogs are family. Accordingly, we want them to be with us forever. What better way to enhance their health than to feed an ancestrally appropriate carnivore diet, like Hound & Gatos. To take it one step further, we’ve made it our mission to try to create cat and dog formulas that can ultimately improve our beloved pet’s vitality and longevity.

At Hound & Gatos, we’ve designed a uniquely simple pet food with true nutrition to feed our companion carnivores. Our investigative research shows that dogs and cats thrive on a diet that is Paleolithic, that is, one focused on wholesome meat with no added carbohydrates. To accomplish this, we include pure meat along with vitamins and minerals. That’s it; a carnivore’s diet in a can! We avoid all of the ingredients that we believe are linked with the illnesses in cats and dogs. This includes soy, grains, glutens, artificial preservatives, artificial colors, artificial flavors. The bottom line is that our one-of-a-kind formulas concentrate on a pet’s nutritional needs. The real differance is we do not fill our products with 99% grains or 99% generic liver and call it Lamb, etc. 

Our journey to create the best canned pet food has been a labor of love. We’ve enjoyed investing a great deal of time and energy into the evolution of Hound & Gatos, but we never waiver on our standards. For example, we are happy to report that we finally found a manufacturing cannery partner that shares our health-minded philosophies. In fact, they are one of the top-rated canneries in the world. They help us source the best ingredients, including the highest quality US meats. In their industry-leading kitchens, they are committed to creating nutritious formulations, research and development, and the strictest of canning quality controls. With their high integrity and attention to detail, we are confident that we can stand by both our label claims and our customer’s complete satisfaction. All products are proudly made in South Dakota- USA at Performance Pet Products! 

At Hound & Gatos, we believe that it’s time to raise the bar on pet food. We should be feeding our pets as nature intended. That means well-balanced all-meat based foods, which are naturally low in starchy carbohydrates and consequently favorable in glycemic response. Our nutrition expert formulators have masterfully crafted our line of food to exactly meet our stringent specifications. Hound & Gatos canned pet food is shaped after a carnivore’s needs, that is our promise.

It’s about time that a pet food company gets it right. Hound & Gatos has successfully complemented the digestive physiology of our pets with our wholesome all-meat formulas. Our attractive, informative labels cannot adequately express the perfection of the product within. But it all adds up to giving our pets both what they want and what they need; meat. In the end, it is all about their well-being.
