Company Profile: Fromm Family Foods

Fromm Family Foods is an independent pet food manufacturer. The company was established in 1904, in Mequon Wisconsin. The Fromm Family can trace the roots of the company back to the turn of the 20th century. The Fromm brothers raised foxes for fur. In doing so they needed to create a nutrition system to keep the foxes healthy.  As the fur market began to decline the company decided to focus on pet food. They developed the first ever kibble for dogs, and sold their first bag of dog food in 1949. They have since grown and currently employ 110 people; they are still family owned and have zero intention of changing that. Tom Nieman is the 4th generation to own Fromm Family Foods and his two sons Dan and Brian are very involved in the company.

Fromm has 3 lines of dog food Classic, Gold, and 4-star. The Classic line is a fantastic value brand; it is one of the best priced premium foods on the market. There is a Classic Adult and a Classic Senior. The Gold line offers more life stage variation. All of the Gold line foods use Duck, Chicken, and Lamb as protein, but they offer Puppy, Large Breed, Weight Control, and Senior options. The 4-Star line is where it gets fun! This food is the top of the line. There are multiple proteins including chicken, salmon, duck, beef, and even pork. There are grain free options in the 4-Star line as well! All of the Fromm foods contain fresh fruits and vegetables. On top of a great dog food line Fromm makes two great cat food lines as well. They have a Gold line very similar to the dog it has Kitten, Adult, and Senior formulas. Again the 4-Star line in the cat has many varieties your cat will love! One unique feature of Fromm pet foods is their use of egg and of course being from Wisconsin they use cheese in all of their diets!

The Fromm Family is one of a few companies that have never been on any recall list. This is due to their safety measures. Before any Fromm food leaves the plant it is tested in house, as well as by an independent company. They believe that it all starts with fresh ingredients. Tom Nieman said, "It's the same thing you'd see at the grocery, it's just dropped off at our plant." [1] The safety measures in place at Fromm Family Foods are second to none, for more information visit: http://frommfamily.com/food-safety.
