Will Post, founder of Hound & Gatos
At one time, finding a high quality pet food was a challenge. It was one that Will Post, a former U.S. Marine, took on when he came up unhappy with the results of his search. With his dogs being allergic to soy, wheat, rice, and corn, he was faced with either giving them prescription drugs, or creating something better. He took the latter route and hasn’t looked back since.
“I needed a pet food that was going to meet my dog’s nutritional needs, as well as avoid all those fillers that they just don’t need,” explains Will Post, president of Hounds & Gatos Pet Food Corporation. “The vast majority of pet food on the market today contains unnecessary fillers that are harmful to pets and should be avoided.”
In 2003, Post threw his hat into the entrepreneurial ring, joining a $19 billion per year industry in America. Leaving the list of nasty filler ingredients behind, his line of pet foods, created for both cats and dogs, are 100 percent meat-based and follow a Paleolithic diet approach.
Hound & Gatos specializes in providing a line of pet foods that is all natural and closer to what their diet should be. The products do not contain any plant protein, fillers, or by-products, like most pet foods do on the store shelves. Their foods do not contain things like rendered animal fats, corn, soy, wheat, sugar, and artificial flavors and preservatives, all of which can be difficult for a pet’s digestive system.
“In addition to putting out a line of what pets should be eating, I also help people determine what it is that their pets have been eating,” added Post. “I offer DNA testing, as well as information on what to watch for. I’m happy that I’ve been able to get the word out about the importance of feeding pets a high quality diet.”
Hound & Gatos offers a full line of pet foods, including such flavors as chicken, salmon, rabbit, lamb, turkey, tripe, beef, trout, and pork. They only use top ingredients, providing pets pure nutrition, and avoiding all by-products, fillers, and artificial ingredients.
