Bil-Jac Foods, Inc. is a U.S.-based dog food manufacturer founded in 1947 by WWII veterans Bill and Jack Kelly. The company operates production facilities in Ohio and Maryland and uses a proprietary slow-cooked process designed to preserve nutrients and natural flavor, distinguishing it from the high-temperature extrusion used in many dry dog foods. In 1951, Bil-Jac earned the first U.S. patent ever granted for dog food, reflecting a long-standing focus on innovation. Bil-Jac markets performance-oriented nutrition featuring fresh chicken and small-batch production, partnering with specialty retailers, distributors, and working-dog organizations across the United States. The headquarters is in Medina, Ohio (3337 Medina Road, Medina 44256), and the company employs between 51 and 200 people; reported revenue ranges from $100 million to $250 million.
