Our History

Inspired by a guide dog

 

In the late 1930s, Morris Frank, a young blind man, was touring the country with his guide dog, Buddy, promoting Seeing Eye® dogs. However, Buddy, a German Shepherd, was suffering from kidney failure and Mr. Frank asked Dr. Mark Morris Sr. for help.


Dr. Morris believed Buddy’s illness was the result of poor nutrition, so he developed a new pet food with his wife, Louise Morris, in their kitchen.
