Their work inspired me to look deeper into the science of nutrition and the role it plays in helping animals live longer, healthier lives.
That inspiration ultimately led me to pursue my certification in canine and feline nutrition through Southern Illinois University. Today, that same commitment to education and evidence-based nutrition guides everything I do at Purrs McBarkin’.

Fromm offers a broad range of formulas and protein options, making it easier to match food choices to different life stages, preferences, and sensitivities. As with all diets, individual results depend on the specific pet and how they respond to a given formula.
Victor
Victor manufactures its dog foods in the United States and focuses on nutrient dense recipes with a higher proportion of animal based protein sources. Their formulas are designed to meet AAFCO nutritional profiles and include added probiotics intended to support normal digestive function.
Victor diets are often suited to dogs with higher activity levels or owners looking for a traditional kibble with increased protein content. As with any food, the best fit depends on the individual dog’s needs, lifestyle, and tolerance.
Smallbatch
Smallbatch produces frozen raw and lightly cooked dog and cat foods made with limited ingredient recipes and animal based proteins as the primary components. Their foods are minimally processed compared to traditional kibble and are formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional profiles when fed as directed.
These diets appeal to pet owners seeking alternatives to highly processed foods. As with any feeding approach, suitability depends on the individual pet, household handling practices, and how the animal responds over time.
