Crunchies is a pet-friendly store founded by the Cahills in 1995. It is dedicated to their late cat, Bonkers, who had to be placed on a specialized natural diet. The Cahills couldn't find food to meet the needs of Bonkers' diet at their local pet stores, so they started getting specialized food shipped to them. Other pet owners started placing orders with the Cahills for this specialized food, and that is how Crunchies Natural Pet Foods began.
