About
PPFC recipes are thoughtfully created with simple, recognizable ingredients that pets and their pet parents trust. Our meals and treats are clean, transparent, and nourishing. Designed with convenience in mind, our shelf-stable meals are lightweight, portable, and easy to serve. They can be used as complete and balanced meals through rotational feeding or as toppers and mixers to enhance kibble. This flexibility makes them a go-to choice for families who want to feed their pets well without sacrificing ease.
At the heart of PPFC is a mission to support healthier, happier pets while making life easier for the people who love them. We believe in transparency, sustainability, and giving back to the community, from sourcing responsibly to donating to animal shelters and nonprofits. Our products deliver peace of mind, ensuring pets are well-nourished whether at home or on the go.
Founding Story
Portland Pet Food Company began in 2014 when founder Katie McCarron set out to help her aging poodle, Rosie, who had lost interest in conventional dog food. What started as a way to care for Rosie quickly grew into a mission to transform the pet food industry with meals and treats made from the same kind of ingredients we choose for ourselves. For over a decade, PPFC has been dedicated to crafting all-natural, human-grade food for dogs and cats, proudly made and sourced in the USA.
