Avian Flu

If you’re concerned about your pet’s food safety amid the evolving bird flu (H5N1) situation in North America, it’s good to stay informed about how manufacturers are handling testing and safety measures.

Many pet food companies have released statements detailing their approaches to ensuring food safety, including sourcing policies, testing protocols, and heat treatment processes that eliminate viruses. Here are some manufacturer statements regarding their response to the avian flu:

• Bold By Nature on Facebook
• Northwest Naturals ends the voluntary recall
• Primal Pet Food
• SmallBatch's Statement on Safety
• Steve's Real Food
• Tucker's Pet Food
• Savage Cat Food
• Response from Stella & Chewy’s
• Solutions Pet Products

NOTE: If you decide to cook your raw food please do not if it has bones in the recipe. This can be dangerous for your pet.

If you feel uncomfortable feeding raw food to your pet during this time, we completely understand and are here to offer alternative options. We have a variety of gently cooked foods and other dehydrated and air-dried foods available that you might find suitable. Here are a few options you can consider:

• A Pup Above Texas Beef Stew Grain-Free Dog Food
• Smallbatch Lightly Cooked BeefBatch Sliders Frozen Dog Food
• California Dog Kitchen Beef Quinoa Frozen Dog Food
• Raised Right Beef Recipe Frozen Dog Food
• Smalls Gently Cooked Cat food
