Our Mission
Earth Animal has been helping dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives through a holistic approach since 1979. Founded by veterinarian Bob Goldstein and his wife, Susan, Earth Animal is pioneering a more humane and sustainable way of enhancing and preserving the quality of life for animals, people, and the Earth. We call this Another Way®.
History of Earth Animal
We began as a small family-run company over 40 years ago, and though we’ve grown, we're still a family guided by our lifelong mission.
1974
Lovely Leigh
Our story begins when Dr. Bob & Susan adopted their Golden Retriever, Leigh. Suffering from hip dysplasia, Leigh was soon crippled, inspiring them to find another way of treatment and care.
1975
Another Way
Dr. Bob & Susan began studying alternative therapies to help Leigh live happier and healthier, adding natural remedies, supplements, whole food, and organic juices to her diet. Soon, Leigh began to walk and run!
1979
Opening Day
Embracing their shared passions and holistic philosophies, Susan opened our very first Natural Health Food Store for Dogs & Cats right next door to Dr. Bob's Veterinarian Hospital.
1985-90
Earth Animal Grows
After opening 7 more stores, Dr. Bob & Susan developed an entire veterinarian-formulated line of holistic products, helping countless pets and pet parents along the way.
2014
No-Hiding It
Following decades of growth, the Earth Animal family transformed the world of dog treats and chews by introducing the No-Hide® chew, a more digestible, delicious, and durable alternative to rawhide.
2016-Today
Dream Come True
Inspired by Leigh, our wise teacher, and with a formulation perfected over decades, Earth Animal launched Wisdom™ dog food – an unsurpassed, 3-component, nutrient-packed formula.
