Explanation of Natural Pet Food Ingredients
All of the animals used for our meat ingredients are hormone and chemical free.
Our lamb is from New Zealand and they are range, grass-fed certified.
Our trout is raised in large cold-water ponds, trout farms with special feeding diet.
Chickens are also raised hormone free on ranches in California, Idaho and Utah.
When inspected, we find they have considerable access
to an open area activity when the weather is nice;
however, they are primarily raised inside because of weather, heat, and cold.
To be healthy, and for the reason they are not fed chemicals
the temperature needs to be closely regulated.
We specifically do not purchase fully range fed chicken for the reason
they have too many diseases.
While we try to use as much organic fed chicken as possible
the major is considered human quality,
not organic as the grain fed is not 100% organic.
The same with our trout and lamb.
The Menhaden fish come from the North Atlantic ocean.
Our grains are from companies that supply human quality
ingredients to human food manufacturers.
We do not purchase grain from the farm because of the possibility of toxic molds.
All meat ingredients are processed for us by USDA approved slaughter houses,
except for the lamb.
However, the lamb is USDA inspected and approved.
California, where our food is manufactured has 4-D regulatory laws.
We cannot use Dying, Dead (example an animal that has died in the field), Disabled or Diseased animals in our products.
This is the reason only a few companies, regardless of their address, actually make pet food in California.
The plant is cleaner than most human food quality plants.
We are also certified by the State of California for off-shore shipments, which require the highest certification of quality.
