In 1988 Maria Ringo co-founded SOJOURNER FARMS (later renamed SOJOS), introducing what was then a new concept of commercial Raw Food Diets for companion animals to North American consumers, paving the way for future women entrepreneurs in the pet industry. Always a devoted student of health and nutrition, after the sale of her business she trained as a Homeopathic health care practitioner (CCH, HOM), opening a family practice in Toronto and becoming a member of the Faculty of the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine. Combining their extensive backgrounds in nutrition and the pet industry, Maria and her husband David Stauble launched CARNA4 Pet Foods in 2010, successfully introducing the first complete quick-baked air-dried pet diet made of 100% real food ingredients without synthetics of any kind. Moving the pet consumer towards natural rearing principles is the goal and today, Carna4 continues to grow, improving the health of dogs and cats throughout North America and countries around the world. Maria loves teaching nutrition and health, and has been a guest writer and speaker on this topic for many years. She retired from her medical practice and her Faculty position in 2019. She is an active supporter and former Board chair of the Canadian Children’s Opera Company and, in addition to her advocacy of whole foods nutrition for people and pets, is devoted to the cause of arts education for children.
