About Earth MD Academy

Who are we?

Bobby and Julia live and breathe pets. In addition to owning Earth MD they are the owner/operators of a pet food store, and breed Newfoundlands and Golden Retrievers. On occasion they also consult for pet food companies, treat companies and rescues. 
This unique perspective allows them an understanding of the pet world not afforded to people who aren't surrounded by it every second of every day.  
WORLD-CLASS TEAM

Bobby Marr
Founder/Owner
Bobby jokes he was raised more dog than man. Growing up his mother worked for the SPCA, at a veterinary clinic, bred dogs and owned a boarding kennel. When he was in college he got his first job in a pet food store and never looked back as he went on to help his manager open her own pet food store, run a treat and supplement manufacturer and then strike out on his own to open his own pet food store with Julia. They then started their own supplement line, Earth MD, bought his mother's boarding kennel and started their own breeding line. 
Bobby also does some consulting for new pet food stores, manufacturers and rescues.
Julia Ries
Founder/Owner
Julia originally attended Guelph University with the intention of being a veterinarian. Sadly though there were issues that arose that made her realize she couldn't continue that pursuit without sacrificing her morals. 
This led her to seek out alternative ways to help animals as she worked alongside her partner, Bobby. Finding great success helping animals through nutrition and natural medicines, she was able to see herself help more animals then she ever could have in a single clinic.
