Charlie's Story
Charlie's story is the start of our story. Charlie was a lively and playful dog. Sadly, at the age of 8, he started having terrible joint pain that quickly progressed and limited his ability to walk. Concerned, his pup parents Paul and Mary took him to the vet to find that he was dealing with autoimmune health issues.
Knowing that nutrition has an impact on human health, Paul and Mary set out to help Charlie by cooking his meals at home using fresh ingredients. This was the beginning of what Fetch would become.
After different trials and experiments, Paul and Mary consulted with veterinarian nutritionist to develop our signature recipes and begin offering the same food that worked for Charlie to other Portland dogs. Dog park friends who saw the change, began switching their dogs to Fetch.
Along the way, we've hired local chefs, refined the recipe based on local veterinarian feedback, and committed to sourcing locally. While Charlie has sadly passed, we've kept his spirit alive by baking and delivering thousands of meals to dogs all over Portland.
The Dogs of Fetch Staff
As our friend Curtis Salgado & Alan Hager say, the greatest wish is that our dogs could live longer.

Our spark to start Fetch is rooted in this. It's caring for our pups the same way we care for ourselves.
