Partial Transcript:
- Alright, hey everybody. I'm Courtney here from DogBoy's and we're here with Blake from Rogue Pet Feed and today I wanted to have Blake tell us a little bit about this awesome product that they carry called Origins. So Blake, tell me a little bit about Origins and what's in it.
- Awesome, so Origins is our supplement. It's a wholefood topper and it does gut health as a system. The reason why we created Origins was we needed a product that could be easily implemented and was cost effective to help dogs. And so this is something that an owner can take and just add to their dog's food. It helps them digest their dog's food better and it gets them all their probiotic, pre bod, the digestive enzymes and the butyric acid that they need to really address the system as a whole. And with that whole systems approach, we're actually able to impact the health of the animal.
- It's an amazing product. I mean, just with my own dogs, they have really thrived on it but I just wanna know a little more about how you guys got into that business and why it's so important for dogs.
- Sure, so the story behind how Rogue started and how Origins came about is really Nate and I, Nate is our scientist and founder and we actually met at the gym and so it's your kinda classic bromance story. We started out lifting weights together and then we quickly realized we had both had actually adopted dogs at the time in Galveston. Everything we do, we take it way too far and Nate was actually training for Strongman at the time. I ended up training for body building in our own personal fitness endeavors and then with the dogs, we kinda took the same route. We started looking at nutrition for our dogs and how we could get more out of the dogs. We were doing everything back then like trying raw and olive oil, and we would see good improvements by making these changes to dog food 'cause clearly there was something there, there was something missing and so Nate went back to school. He went to grad school, A&M and he got further into the animal feed world. He started working with the largest production animal facilities globally, and he started consulting with them on feeding strategies and herd health strategies. And he quickly saw that they had a very systematic approach to health and it all started with the health of the animals starting in the gut. He started looking back at the dog food thing going well no wonder there's a problem and he looked at how dog food was made and was like this is where there's an opportunity. There's really an opportunity to improve on this. Overtime, he started working with different working dogs to begin with 'cause our own heart was in performance and so with the combination of the probiotic, the pre bod, the digestive enzymes and butyric acid and then the highly digestible wild fish that he sourced. We started seeing some improvements that we knew were possible from the production animal world happening with dogs. And that's when we knew that we were on the right track. Yeah, this allows owners to be able to implement raw level nutrition. The digestibility is truly equal to raw or feeze dried for pennies a day.
- That's great. And the main protein in it is, you said it's a type of fish?
- Yeah.
- What type of fish is it?
- It's a menhaden species of fish. It's a wild caught fish that eats a wild diet. Super high in omegas. We do source that direct so we have full traceability on the ingredients. The place that manufactures us fish, this is the only thing they make. So they're not processing other animals in that facility or making HEB salads around the corner or something like that. All they do is make this fish, and so we don't have to worry about any weird contamination happening with it.
- The other thing that was interesting to me is that it's not only a sustainable fish but it's a type of fish that if you didn't fish it in the wild then it would actually be considered like the weed of the fish world. Like it would over populate and there would be too many of them.
One female can lay up to like 400,000 eggs each year and so they actually pull out about 450,000 tons at this one facility and process it and they're not even touching the schools, populations....
