Hey everyone! My name’s Kyle Faulkner, and I’m the founder of Simply Canine, we are a small family-run business that was born from a big problem and a whole lot of love for my dog, Poppy.

To be completely honest, creating Simply Canine wasn’t part of some grand plan. It all started as a happy accident. My American Bulldog, Poppy, has had a rough start to life. As a puppy, she tore her ACL and also struggled with severe skin allergies that left her constantly uncomfortable and miserable. Like any devoted dog owner, I wanted to do everything I could to help her. So I did what most people do, I turned to the vets.

After countless visits, expensive consultations, rounds of tests, and different medications, I found myself frustrated and disheartened. It felt like I was being led in circles and spending more and more money, while Poppy’s condition barely improved. It started to seem as if the vets were more interested in lining their pockets than actually solving the root of the problem. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I started researching dog nutrition, and what I found shocked me. The kibble that so many of us trust was full of ingredients I could barely pronounce. You name it, fillers, preservatives, and unnecessary additives that weren’t doing Poppy any favours. I realised that if I wanted her to heal, I had to know exactly what was going into her body.

That’s how I stumbled into the world of raw feeding. With a raw diet, I could pinpoint exactly what Poppy was eating, track any reactions, and control her weight more effectively which was something that was especially important after her injury. It wasn’t easy at first. There was a lot of trial and error, a lot of reading, and more than a few messy kitchen experiments. But over time, things began to change. Her skin cleared up. Her energy came back. She started thriving instead of just surviving.

Once I saw how much better she was doing, I wanted to take things a step further. I began researching single-protein natural treats so I could keep her diet consistent and avoid any surprise flare-ups. And as I sourced new treats and foods, I realised there was a real gap in the market and it was hard to find trustworthy, high-quality options that put a dog’s health first rather than profit margins.

That’s when Simply Canine was truly born. What started as a personal mission to help my own dog turned into a passion to help others who were going through the same struggle. I wanted to create a place where dog owners could feel confident that every single product had been carefully chosen and not because it’s trendy or cheap to produce, but because it genuinely benefits our dogs.

Now, when you browse the products on Simply Canine, you can rest assured that everything has been personally vetted by me. I only stock what I’d happily give to my own dogs. Some of our treats and foods might cost a little more than what you’ll find elsewhere, but that’s because I’m incredibly selective about where I source from. Quality matters. Transparency matters. And above all, our dogs deserve the very best.

Helping Poppy heal completely changed the way I look everything, and I’m proud to share what I’ve learned with others. Whether you’re just starting your raw-feeding journey or you’re already deep in it, I hope Simply Canine can be a place of support, education, and great nutrition for your four-legged family members.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story and for caring enough to seek out what’s best for your dog.

All the best,

Kyle Faulkner
