Founders Manuel and Stefania, a devoted husband and wife duo, faced a heartfelt struggle alongside their beloved pit bull terrier, Tank—affectionately known as “Papa.” Since his tender puppy days, Papa battled food allergies, manifesting in distressing hot spots, oozing ear infections, and dry, itchy skin. As the years passed, his condition worsened, revealing troubling signs of severe weight loss, a dwindling appetite, fatigue, and nausea. Despite pouring thousands into veterinary care and feeding him the finest “vet-recommended” kibbles, Papa's health continued to decline, culminating in a diagnosis of stage 2 kidney disease.

Amidst this turmoil, Manuel took it upon himself to delve into the mysteries of Papa’s ailments. In the sanctuary of his kitchen, he began crafting raw blends, eventually perfecting a frozen concoction molded into easy-to-feed blocks—this creation blossomed into their cherished La Casa Blend. With this nourishing blend, Papa thrived for six additional years, his allergies vanished, and his quality of life transformed. He rediscovered a vibrant appetite, basking in the warmth of newfound vitality for the remainder of his days.
