Minneapolis, MN - Sept 1, 2007
The recent pet food recall has left pet owners confused and
searching for alternatives to traditional pet food. Fearing
that large-brand pet food companies value profits over the
health and safety of their pets, an extraordinary number of
pet owners are now considering homemade
pet food – attempting
to take back control of the way they feed their cats and dogs.
Since news of the recall broke, Google has shown that hundreds
of thousands of people have been searching the term ‘homemade
pet food’ online. And books on making homemade pet food
have been flying off of store shelves.
The belief is that homemade pet food allows pet owners to feed
superior quality ingredients, while giving them peace of mind
in knowing exactly what is going into their pet’s dish.
The challenge for many is finding a diet that is safe, reliable,
affordable, and convenient. Mission accomplished with Sojourner
Farms Natural Pet Food Company, which has been providing pet
owners with an easy way to make homemade pet food since 1985.
“
Since the contamination scare began, sales of our products
have exploded, hits on our internet site (www.sojos.com) have
increased ten-fold, and our phones are ringing off the hook,” says
Maggie Johnson, co-owner of Sojourner Farms. “Since we
don’t cook, process, or extrude our pet food mix, people
can literally see each ingredient and feel good knowing exactly
what they are feeding their pets.” With Sojourner Farms,
pet owners simply combine meat and water with one of their
pre-mixes and presto … they’ve got a fresh, homemade
pet food in minutes.
With large pet food companies reeling from the recall on co-packed
products, the timing couldn’t be better for a company
like Sojourner Farms who manufactures all of their food on-site
in their own facility. Another factor that has sent recall-weary
consumers into the arms of companies like Sojourner Farms is
the company’s commitment to using only human-quality
ingredients – meaning they use suppliers that follow
human-grade testing protocols to ensure that each ingredient
is safe and healthy, free of contamination. “It has been
a great relief for our customers to know that we don’t
use any feed-grade ingredients, by-products, or chemicals in
our products, and that all of our grains are locally grown
in the Midwest,” says Johnson. “And, considering
that the recent high-profile recall is due to contaminated
wheat gluten and corn, people feel safe knowing that all of
our dog food is wheat and corn free.”
With an impressive ingredient list that includes simple foods
like rolled oats, barley, ground pecans, kelp and parsley,
Sojourner Farms’ pet foods resemble something one could
whip up in their own kitchen. Fortunately for concerned pet
owners, this company is around to make sure they don’t
have to.
Sojourner Farms is committed to the health and well-being of
companion animals everywhere. For more information please contact
