OUR STORY
Our journey began with our Snorkie, Mini. After several vet visits and recurring gall bladder stones, we started asking tough questions about her food. What we discovered was alarming: the pet food industry is poorly regulated. Terms like “natural” and “premium” have no legal meaning, and many products are full of fillers, vague proteins, and synthetic additives.

Switching Mini to a raw diet changed everything. Her stones disappeared, her energy soared, and she truly began to thrive. Years later, when our red retriever, Teegan was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor, we turned to a raw ketogenic diet to support his immune system. That choice gave him a real chance—and he’s doing wonderful.
But our mission hasn’t stopped there.
As pet owners, sourcing high-quality raw food locally has been frustrating. There’s no dedicated raw food retailer in our area, so we’ve had to cobble together items from multiple stores—costly, time-consuming, and inconsistent. We live in Alachua County, a region rooted in agriculture, yet our pet food isn’t being sourced from our local farms. That disconnect inspired us to create The Wild Canine™—a business committed to transparency, convenience, and community.
By working with local farmers, we can support our agricultural economy while offering fresher, better food for dogs. It’s a win-win—for our pets, for our farmers, and for families like yours who want real answers and real nutrition.
Because your dog deserves more than marketing. Your dog deserves truth on the label—and health in the bowl.
