About Sam's Field
Sam's Field is the holistic super-premium range made by VAFO Private Labels, formulated separately for breed size, life stage and changing dietary needs and built on fresh meat and animal proteins with fruit and vegetable extracts. Its case rests on the claim that grains, and wheat above all, reduce the digestibility of dog food so that fewer nutrients are absorbed, which is why the line is sold in gluten-free, grain-free and low-grain versions for both dogs and cats.

About the owner: VAFO
VAFO is a privately held company headquartered in Chrášťany, Czech Republic, founded in 1994. Brandtree records 12 brands under its control.
VAFO Group is a European maker of premium pet food that began in 1994 as Vafo Praha and is now a second-generation Czech family business headquartered outside Prague. It runs nine dry food, wet food, snack and supplement factories with capacity above 220,200 tonnes a year, employs around 1,600 people and has factories and branches in Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Estonia, Poland, France and Austria, with sales above €700 million and brands sold in more than 90 countries. Its growth has come from buying established national brands — Prima Pet Premium in Finland, Pooch & Mutt in Britain, Berlin's Pets Deli — and continuing to sell them under their own names rather than folding them into Brit.
