Today, I’m interviewing a very special guest, Steve Brown. Steve is a friend and one of my pet nutrition mentors.
Steve’s background is very interesting, especially in the way it led to his involvement in the pet food industry. He worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) years ago in the areas of solar design, energy conservation, and the logistics of technology transfer. He eventually moved to Silicon Valley to work, but once there, he realized the environment wasn’t very healthy. So he packed up the two- and four-legged members of his family and moved back east to Maine.
In Maine, Steve helped develop a low-calorie, healthy dog treat – Charlee Bear® Dog Treats. The treats were picked up by PetSmart and sold in all their stores. Then Steve proposed a variety pack of dog food for PetSmart, the company liked the concept, and soon he was given access to pet food manufacturing facilities across the U.S. That’s how he began to learn about the problems with kibble.
Very few people are granted access to the inner workings of pet food companies – they’re typically top-secret operations. So the fact that Steve has toured their manufacturing plants from coast to coast is amazing. And through that exposure, he learned the downside of the pet food industry.
