About 10 years ago, we were completely overwhelmed and confused about how to help our puppy, Katie. The we discovered the power of oats for dogs.
As we shared in our story, she was miserable. She suffered from digestive problems and rashes that led to hot spots. Sadly, she spent most of her first year wearing a cone.
Desperate to find a solution that didn’t involve drugs, our founder, Bruce, knew the answer had to be in Katie’s food. As a recovering junk food addict himself, he realized that most of the ingredients in the food we eat are highly processed, and that dog products, in general, are even worse than people food.
Bruce found the solution to Katie’s health problems in switching her diet to one rich in organic oats, vegetables, and simple source of protein. And as this before and after picture shows, having your dog happy and healthy makes all the difference in the world!

It makes sense that unprocessed, real ingredients are the key to your dog’s health. Just as processed foods have wreaked havoc with the health of people, they have created a similar result in our dogs. Unfortunately, chronic and even life-threatening health diagnoses such as skin ailments, digestive problems, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease have become far too commonplace with our pets.
But in Bruce’s research and experimentation with all different recipes, he uncovered one secret ingredient that, more than any other, has made an enormous difference in Katie’s health.
And while there’s not a lot of research on oats for dogs, the bits that exist suggest that many of the health benefits human’s experience from eating oats may also be associated with dogs.

Oats contain a powerful soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which is known to reduce bad cholesterol as well as improve blood sugar control and insulin response.
