About Us
When competitors become business partners...the origin story of Four Roots Pet Products!
Four Roots Pet Products was founded by Melissa & Hauke from The Complete K9 and Amanda & Matt from Grand Dog Essentials. Our roots are intertwined long before Four Roots began.
Greg, founder of Grand Dog, would drive to Red Deer to purchase raw dog food from Hauke. Hauke ended up selling his raw pet food business to Greg and Grand Dog began in 2018!
The Complete K9 is Melissa's family business; founded by Don & Colleen in 2010. In 2022, they experienced a devastating fire and lost their facility.
Melissa, Hauke, & the Family Meats team worked to build The Complete K9 back up from the fire.
The Complete K9 and Grand Dog were competitors during this time. We would look to see what the other was up to. Always friendly, but always keeping an eye on each other. Recognizing that each had something really special.
In 2024 things changed. Grand Dog reached out to Melissa and Hauke looking for another brand to offer in their online shop.
Through working together, we realized how similar our values were and how we had the same hopes and dreams for the future of the raw pet food industry in Alberta.
Four Roots was founded to build upon the strong manufacturing process and dedication to quality and safety The Complete K9 and Family Meats worked so hard to achieve.
Four Roots is carrying on The Complete K9 legacy as distributor (Family Meats is still the manufacturer) while also manufacturing something new to compliment and elevate the raw pet food industry to new heights. Offering items like National Research Council (NRC) formulated blends & blends specific to different life stages and health considerations
Four Roots was created to be a place that brings you, the end user, into the process. A community hub to bring together people and ideas with a common goal of providing our pets with long and healthy lives.
We are so excited to build up this #fourrootspet community. Thank you all for being here!
