HPS Raw Food
We have our permit!!!
We are officially licensed to produce pet food! We are so excited to have the hardest part of the process out of the way. Now we can focus on producing the best food we possibly can! We are proud to be working with farms the likes of Eel River Grass Fed and Pitman Farms. They are going to help us produce great quality pet food all the while supporting sustainable and humane husbandry practices. Our first batch produced includes GAP STEP4 certified beef from Eel River. Global Animal Partnership is a certification agency that sets standards for welfare of animals. The GAP Step4 certification means their cattle are pastured for 75% of their life, never are kept in feedlots, pastures are maintained with a minimum of 50% vegetation cover, and more! With the small scale nature of our production and the tumultuous landscape of meat production currently, our sourcing and costs may fluctuate. We plan to keep it as consistent as possible, relying on farms with similar quality practices.
We have produced our first few batches of toppers and they are in our “ice cream” freezer for sale! They are currently in 1 lb. vacuum sealed packages. Packaging size and type is something we will be experimenting with alongside everything else. All in attempts to make a product that is best suited for our customers needs.
As mentioned in our previous update, we will be continuing to update our offerings. This will include our at-home recipe builder tool that our in house pet nutritionist is working on as we speak. We will be working to expand the recipe options as well. As previously mentioned, we are focusing on the product being a topper. Meaning it is a wonderful accompaniment to a complete meal. If you need recommendations on best usage of the product, we are happy to help. As we develop the recipe builder, we will have options for at home balancing that will make it possible to use as your one and only meal source. If you are a local producer and would like to partner with us, we are happy to hear from you!
