Feeding the world’s
love of their pets.
Family owned and operated for more than 75 years, Sunshine Mills, Inc. is proud to serve the world’s pets with a whole variety of foods and treats at value prices. We own and operate multiple plants within the U.S.A. so we control the quality of our products from start to finish. Each plant is certified for food safety to ensure that each and every batch we produce is perfect in every way.
Sunshine Mills has developed through four generations as a truly American family business. Headquartered in the rural north Alabama town of Red Bay, the company began as a producer of animal feed in 1947 under the direction of Omer Bullen and his son-in-law, Fred Bostick, Jr. The business continued to grow and pet food was added to the production lineup in 1960 in a pelleted form.
John Bostick joined the team in the early 70’s and helped develop Sunshine’s economy dog foods into more complete lines. Over the next several years the Sunshine, Field Trial, and Cat Café brands grew to be leaders in value across much of the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. Alan Bostick took over the reins as President and CEO in 1984 and has continued the progress and foresight of his grandfather, father and brother, expanding their product line and geographic reach to eventually include all of the United States and more than 30 countries worldwide.
Today, our products are marketed under various Sunshine brands as well as private label offerings. These items can be purchased at most of the major retailers across the USA including mass merchandisers, grocery, value discount, clubs, pet specialty, hardware and the farm & feed channels.
As much as we have grown, we have never lost our focus on family values. Our pets are a part of our family. That’s why we at Sunshine Mills do everything in our power to craft carefully designed food and treats to help you maintain your pet’s health and happiness for many years to come.
