Redbarn founders, Jeff Baikie and Howard Bloxam, met on a hockey rink in Canada when they were just kids. They became fast friends and while they went in different directions at times, they remained close.
Both Jeff and Howie have always been entrepreneurs and had both been involved in several different business ventures. In the early nineties, when they started talking about building a company together it was an easy decision. They both recognized the need for a healthy, wholesome pet food that was developed, produced and sold with integrity, honesty and only top quality ingredients.
The Original Red Barn
After a couple of years of working from their respective garages in the US and Canada, they realized that they had they outgrown their small makeshift facility. It wasn’t efficient to ship product from Canada to the US, therefore they decided to move their operations to California, where most of their customers were located.
In response to the overwhelming number of requests from their customers, in 2014, they added a line of Redbarn Grain Free Cat Foods and Treats. This put them in a whole new category. They developed their cat products with the same unwavering commitment to quality that requires only top quality ingredients and stringent QA standards.
Their Mission
Their company’s goal has always been and continues to be to produce healthy, wholesome and innovative pet foods that they can be proud to call their own.
Redbarn Naturals Grain-Free Canned Cat Food is made from hand selected wholesome ingredients including fresh cuts of meat and garden vegetables in the United States. Added functional ingredients support your cat’s health issues.
My cats really enjoyed the pâté’s texture. Some of them had a lot of gravy which my cats thoroughly enjoyed. I must point out though that my cats were not a fan of the beef pâté. Might have something to do with the fact that the beef pâté is a urinary support formula. All the others were a big hit.
Redbarn Naturals Canned Grain-Free Cat Food is made from hand selected wholesome ingredients including fresh cuts of meat, poultry and garden vegetables all in a rich, delicious gravy.
My cats absolutely loved the gravy in these stews but we’re not big fans of the meat chunks. Even my cat Ollie who is a feline garbage disposal, who normally eats anything, would eat the gravy and leave the meat chunks there. I believe they might prefer shredded meat.
It is a known fact that the first five ingredients listed on a product are the most important. Ingredients are listed in order of quantity.
That’s why when I see :
Beef, Beef Broth, Beef Liver, Salmon Oil, Natural Flavors
I feel very comfortable feeding this to my cats.
