ABOUT COMPANION NATURAL President of Companion Natural Pet Food, Stacy LaPoint, developed a company to achieve her goal of producing a quality, raw, grain-free, natural pet food available to pet owners who are interested in using diet and nutrition to improve and maintain their pet’s health. As an avid pet lover, Stacy started her interest in pet nutrition when her dog Jade, a 6 year old German Shepherd, was diagnosed with Addison's Disease (adrenal gland failure) in March of 2000. It was that research, to help Jade live with the disease, that led her on a journey of changing her own way of thinking about pet nutrition, food, health and longevity. Stacy started preparing dog food at home with several well-known authors' books on pet nutrition as her guides. That led to making food for the pets of several friends and family, whose interests were piqued when they saw the success of raw feeding. Word continued to spread and soon there was a waiting list of people wanting fresh food for their pets. Stacy decided to take on another dog lover as her business partner, Co-Owner Bill Conroy, to help her company grow. She also sought the help of an Animal Nutritionist, and, with this support was able to ensure that the accepted nutritional profiles for dogs and cats, as determined by the Association of Animal Feed Control Officials, were met or exceeded in each of their diets. Stacy named the company with her belief in mind that our pets are our truest companions and are deserved of a healthy long life.
