Our criteria for foods are that they all be made from human grade ingredients. None of our foods have corn, wheat or soy and are naturally preserved. We also make every effort to evaluate the safety standards of the company that manufactures the foods, seeking transparent companies that have 3rd party inspections with excellent marks for manufacturing safety and quality control. We also want to ensure that ingredients like fish meal are not pre-preserved with chemical preservatives that would not be on the label, and that companies are making an effort at sustainability with sourcing. We try hard to avoid factory farming of meats (especially battery cages for poultry, feedlots (CAFOs) for cattle, and gestation crates for pigs). We are opposed to the use of traditionally farmed salmon in foods and treats, though some new farming operations show promise with practices that earn them 3rd party certification for sustainability and rigorous testing for contaminates.  Our treats and foods contain no chemical preservatives, nitrates, propylene glycol, carrageenan, beet pulp, or artificial flavors/colors.

Note: Some brands carry a wide range of products that don’t all meet our standards. Please call or email us to find out if the specific food you’re looking for is in stock. We can often special order foods for you that are not stocked on our shelves.
