3 Generations of Caring
Our family has been making pet’s lives better with healthy food for over 60 years. Based in New York, we started with focusing on small batches to ensure quality with the intent on keeping our core values intact and always putting pets first. To this day we have kept that promise.

We Leave Out
We use the highest quality ingredients and leave out fillers. That means no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. No GMOs, soy, corn, wheat, or animal byproducts. Lastly, all of our chicken, meat, and fish is hormone and antibiotic free.
Staying close to the source
We source most of our ingredients from the United States. A few ingredients are from around the world, like lamb from New Zealand or duck from France. Ensuring we’ve chosen the finest possible ingredients for your pets food is not something we are willing to compromise.

Testing Before Cooking

Testing During Cooking
We have an extensive sampling procedures throughout the cooking process which is done at an independent third-party laboratory to ensure compliance with all requirements related to food safety standards.
Testing After Cooking

Supporting Animal Rescue
Since 2008, we have donated over $615,500 and continue to support animal rescue and community initiatives. Our roots were planted and are grounded in a small community. We understand the importance of making sure that community thrives, including all the pets out there looking for their forever home.
