History
In the early 1900s, the founder, Fred Evanger showed champion Great Danes but was frustrated that all the foods that were commercially available did not have any nutritional benefits for his dogs. At that time, only dry foods were on the market which were made with by-products and fillers. Fred lived on a farm and knew that using Raw, real meat he sourced himself helped produce Champions. This led Fred to start canning his own pet foods. He kept expanding and eventually breeders from across the country heard about the food that Fred was making himself for his champion dogs, and started to buy it from him. Today, Evanger's remains a family-owned business and still uses the same locally sourced meats in its foods. The secret to the foods is using fresh raw meat, and are the preferred choice for champion purebreds.
