- Smalls
Smalls Cat Food was founded in 2017 by Matt Michaelson and Calvin Bohn with a simple idea: make food designed specifically for cats. The company set out to give cat owners a fresh option made with ingredients they could recognize.
The journey began when the founders noticed that many pet food options seemed to focus on dogs, while cats had fewer choices tailored to their needs. They started developing recipes built around the way cats eat, pairing animal protein with the convenience of food delivered to your door.
With a focus on fresh, gently cooked meals, Smalls created recipes using whole ingredients and a high proportion of animal protein. Its approach puts cats at the center of each formula, with food developed alongside veterinary nutritionists to provide complete and balanced nutrition for every life stage.
Over the years, Smalls has expanded beyond its original fresh recipes to offer different ways to feed your cat. Its range now includes freeze-dried food, treats, toppers, and broths, giving owners options for a full meal or a little variety at mealtime. Whether your cat prefers soft food or a crunchy bite, the lineup offers more than one way to serve a protein-rich diet.
Today, Smalls continues to focus on food and products made for cats. For owners weighing what to put in the bowl each day, the brand offers clear information about its ingredients and a range of choices that can fit into a cat's feeding routine.
3 Core Benefits of Smalls:
Cat-First, Protein-Rich Recipes: Smalls makes food specifically for cats, with at least 80% animal protein in every recipe. Its fresh meals are gently cooked and made with recognizable whole ingredients, giving your cat a protein-rich option at mealtime. For owners comparing labels, that clear focus on animal protein makes it easier to see what is going into the bowl.
Complete Nutrition for Every Life Stage: Smalls develops its recipes with veterinary nutritionists and says its food is certified complete and balanced for every life stage. That means the meals are formulated to provide the nutrients cats need as they grow and age. Smalls also offers fresh food and freeze-dried options, so you can choose a texture that suits your cat's preferences while keeping the focus on cat-specific nutrition.
More Ways to Serve and Enjoy Food: Smalls offers more than a single type of meal. Alongside its fresh recipes, the brand makes freeze-dried food, treats, toppers, and broths, giving you practical ways to add variety to your cat's routine. A broth can add moisture to a bowl, while a topper or treat offers a different flavor or texture without changing the entire meal.
