Our Story
At Muenster, our story begins with family and a simple belief: dogs deserve food that’s as real and dependable as they are.
Four Generations of Family Values
For four generations, we’ve poured heart and soul into crafting high-quality nutrition right here in Texas—because we know that behind every joyful zoomie, muddy paw print, and happy bark is a pet parent who just wants the best.

1932 — Humble Beginnings
Joe Felderhoff starts Muenster Milling Co., turning locally grown grains into flour. Many of those early farm relationships still exist today.

1947 — From Flour to Feed
After Joe’s passing, his son Arthur takes over and transforms the flour mill into a feed mill, crafting high-quality livestock feeds for North Texas farms.

1974 — Growing the Vision
Arthur’s son Ronnie becomes president and drives growth by introducing specialized feeds for show animals and performance horses.

Ronnie installs our first pet food extruder—marking a bold shift in the company’s future.

1999 — Innovation in Nutrition
