Our Farmers

One of our main goals is to keep chemicals out of your dog’s body. That’s why we make sure to keep antibiotics, hormones, steroids, GMOs, toxic pesticides, synthetic additives, glutens, and processed grains “off the menu. We source human-grade proteins from farmers who promise not to use antibiotics, hormones, steroids, or processed feeds in raising their animals. “Grass-fed meat” or “pasture-raised poultry and dairy” are common examples of common industry standards that would meet our own. We buy only Certified Organic fruits, vegetables, seeds, and whole grains to further avoid GMOs and toxic pesticides – and we source those locally, whenever seasonally possible, for maximum environmental and nutritional efficiency. We have always sourced most of our raw ingredients from two, highly reputable suppliers (of human food) in our region – Hudson Valley Harvest and Ace Natural Organics. On the meat side, we import about half of our proteins directly from New Zealand (where the entire country upholds farming standards which are acceptable to us). The other half comes from an elite network of ethical family farms, scattered throughout the broader Tri-State Area.
