Our Heritage

Our Heritage

K9 & Kin Brands is proudly owned by the Kalmbach Family and built on the foundation of their 60-year-legacy in animal nutrition. With an animal-first mindset, they have built brands that farmers, ranchers, equine professionals, and backyard homesteaders have trusted for generations. That heritage shaped not just what we do, but how we think.

From the beginning, the Kalmbach’s operated with a long-term vision—investing in people, prioritizing quality over shortcuts, and building systems designed to serve customers better every day. That same philosophy guided the creation of K9 & Kin.

We’ve taken those principles—uncompromising quality, a team-first culture, and a deep respect for the customer—and applied them to the pet category with a fresh, focused approach. The result is a company that combines proven experience with a new perspective, built to raise the standard for what pet nutrition can be.

Designing for what’s next.

We are building a new standard in pet nutrition—where science, quality, and innovation come together to create brands that pets thrive on and retailers believe in.

We are becoming one of the most trusted and respected names in pet nutrition by building brands that redefine quality, deliver accessible premium products that elevate nutrition, and strengthen the bond between pets and their families.

We aim to move the pet food industry forward by building a portfolio of brands that challenge convention, raise expectations, and deliver unmatched value to pets, pet owners, and retail partners.
