- The quality of the recipe/formula - Every ingredient in the recipe must serve an important purpose… no fillers, additives, dyes etc.
- The quality of the raw materials – Our manufacturer uses 100% all-natural ingredients, chelated vitamins and fortified minerals.

They have been making premium, all natural pet foods for over 30 years and have never been involved in a recall. All their manufacturing is done in small batches and great care is taken to ensure superior taste and digestibilty.
- The freshness of the product – We place our order every 8-10 weeks and all the recipes we offer are made fresh each time we order. The fats, proteins and other nutrients are fresh and highly palatable….a key to your pet’s overall health and enjoyment of the food they eat every day.
