Based in Hauppauge, New York, the company is especially distinctive for its gently cooked dog food, prepared in bone broth and sold in shelf-stable, ready-to-serve pouches rather than requiring freezing or thawing. Its recipes use more than 30 superfoods and undergo over 140 quality checkpoints, with veterinarian-formulated options designed to provide complete and balanced nutrition.HAUPPAUGE, NY
