ACTRESS AND ANIMAL ADVOCATE KATHERINE HEIGL LAUNCHES BADLANDS RANCH, A NEW PREMIUM DOG NUTRITION BRAND

Badlands Ranch Provides "The Best Ingredients a Dog Can Eat" with a Commitment to Helping Rescue Dogs Through the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation

PARK CITY, Utah, Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Badlands Ranch™ officially launches its new, premium dog nutrition brand, providing superfood-packed dog food and treats for canine health. Founded by actress, animal advocate, and philanthropist Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy, Firefly Lane), the brand is named after her family ranch in Utah, where they offer medical care, obedience training, and assist in the forever placement of dogs to happy, loving homes across the U.S. in partnership with the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation. 

"Badlands Ranch was created to deliver delicious products that nourish dogs inside and out for overall health while placing animal welfare as our top priority," says Katherine Heigl. "We're pleased to be able to serve a bigger purpose. When your dog eats Superfood Complete™, you're not just helping them achieve a healthier life, you're helping another dog in need get nutritious food, too," she continues.

Rooted in the simple theory that every dog should be treated with love and respect, Badlands Ranch prioritizes safe, responsible food preparation practices by slow-cooking, freeze-drying, and air-drying their products to ensure maximum freshness and nutritional quality. All products are created using nutrient-packed ingredients to ensure that each bite is not only rich and tasty but also results in a well-balanced diet. These ingredients are hand-selected to support your dog's skin, coat, digestion, immune function, and energy. The flagship product, Badlands Ranch Superfood Complete™ dog food, features powerhouse superfoods—like flax seeds, turmeric, and lion's mane mushrooms—shown to help support playful energy, smooth digestion, a healthy coat, and more.*

Badlands Ranch prioritizes animal well-being and welfare through its sponsorship of the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded by Katherine Heigl and her mother, Nancy Heigl. Founded in honor of Katherine's late brother, Jason, who was a fierce animal advocate, the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation has rescued over 8,000 dogs from high-kill shelters and funded 25,000 spay/neuter surgeries. Badlands Ranch is a proud sponsor of the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation.
