NutriSource Dog & Cat Food: Minnesota-Made Pet Nutrition from KLN Family Brands
Kourtney DubayShare
When it comes to what goes in your dog or cat's bowl, ingredient quality and digestibility matter just as much as the label on the bag. The Nelson family of Perham, Minnesota — about three hours north of the Twin Cities — has been making every bag of NutriSource, Pure Vita, and Tuffy's Gold under one roof since 1964, with full control over ingredients from start to finish.
Who Is KLN Family Brands?
KLN Family Brands is a family-owned Minnesota company based in Perham, Minnesota — about three hours north of the Twin Cities. Owned and operated by the Nelson family, KLN is the parent company behind three brands you'll find at Bloomington Farm & Feed: NutriSource, Pure Vita, and Tuffy's Gold. Every bag is made in-house in Perham, with full control over ingredients and quality from start to finish.
We carry KLN brands because they check every box we care about: locally made, quality ingredients, and products that genuinely perform for pets.
The Brands We Carry
NutriSource — Premium Everyday Nutrition
NutriSource is KLN's flagship premium line, built around their proprietary Good 4 Life® system — a blend of prebiotics, probiotics, selenium yeast, and chelated minerals designed to support digestive health, immune function, and nutrient absorption.
A pet that absorbs nutrients efficiently needs less food to thrive, produces less waste, and maintains better overall health. It's why NutriSource customers consistently report smaller, firmer stools and better coat condition — the food is actually being used, not just passing through.
Pure Vita — Limited Ingredient & Functional Formulas
Pure Vita is KLN's limited-ingredient line — simpler recipes for pets with sensitivities, or owners who prefer a shorter ingredient list without sacrificing quality. You'll find Pure Vita in our cat food and treat sections.
Tuffy's Gold — Trusted Value for Working Dogs & Large Households
Tuffy's Gold is the workhorse of the family — a high-quality, value-focused formula that's been feeding dogs for decades. Available in large 30–40 lb bags, it's a practical choice for multi-dog households, active dogs, and large breeds where cost per pound matters without compromising on nutrition.
