DOG FOOD KIBBLE

DOG TREAT KIBBLE

FARM FRESH TO FOOD BOWL

To make the finest foods, we must ensure we use the finest ingredients. That’s why we source all of our fresh meats from farms and fisheries we know and trust.

Each source is handpicked and constantly audited by our supply chain quality manager to ensure only the finest producers are used. The animals’ welfare is also really important to us, which is why we ensure all of your suppliers meet European welfare standards.

How we collect all of the fresh meat is really important to us as we want to make sure it stays nice and fresh. Using our own refrigerated wagons not only ensures freshness but also protects the meats.

Where possible, we source our fresh meats to support local farmers; we also want to be kind to the environment and reduce our carbon footprint.

When the fresh meats arrive at our centre of excellence, they are checked by our expert laboratory technicians, who inspect the meats using all of their skills. They check for appearance, temperature and aroma with samples sent for lots and lots of testing in our world leading laboratory. It is essential that we use only the finest meats, as we know your beloved pet deserves the very best.

After the technicians have inspected the meats, it’s then over to our brand new laboratory, where we use lots of high-tech equipment to do even more testing. We test for protein, moisture, oil and mineral content which is crucial to make sure all of the meats are of the highest standard and specification. Last year alone, the laboratory carried out over 100,000 tests on more than 800 ingredients. Taking care of the ingredients in this way guarantees the finest recipes.

HOW WE SOURCE AND COOK OUR FOOD IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US AND YOUR FUR BABY

HOW WE COOK OUR FOOD

Okay, so we have now come to the special part – where we cook our fantastic fresh meats in a completely unique way. This is all done by our expert chefs in their bespoke kitchen. First, we take the finest meats and cook them nice and slow. Gently cooking at a low temperature means we break down the meat into a lovely and tasty broth. (This also makes sure we don’t damage the fantastic proteins within the meat). After cooking the meats, we then extract the high quality oils ready to be added back on to the kibbles later to enhance the flavours. The meats are then concentrated further by gently removing the moisture. We are now left with a lovely flavoursome Demi-glaze of goodness – ready to be put inside your scrumptious kibble.
