Who Makes It

Rayne Nutrition is a veterinary nutrition brand that makes whole food diets for dogs and cats, many of them built around novel proteins such as kangaroo, rabbit, crocodilian and black soldier fly larvae. The company says its diets are developed with veterinary experts for dogs with food allergies, skin conditions, digestive issues and other health needs, and many of its diets are sold through veterinarians. 1, 2

Where It Is Made

According to a Cats.com review, Rayne uses third-party manufacturing facilities and does not own its production lines, but applies its own cleaning procedures between recipes. The same review reports that most ingredients come from North America, with kangaroo sourced from Australia and rabbit from France and Italy. 2

History

Rayne Nutrition was founded in 2009 by John Phelps and Dan Pitts and is based in Kansas City, Missouri. In April 2025 the company relaunched its Skin Relief Dry Dog Food, a veterinary-exclusive diet for dogs with atopic dermatitis. 2, 3

Worth Knowing

A Cats.com review reports that Rayne Nutrition had no product recalls in its first 15 years. The company notes that sales of its kangaroo products are restricted in California. 2, 1
