At Zuke’s, we believe that nature provides everything that dogs need to live healthy lives. A simple, real and wholesome approach to food is at the forefront of every product we pioneer. That’s why it’s important that every ingredient be natural, purposeful, and of the highest quality. Our trail-tested recipes contain only ingredients that we would eat ourselves. Each bite is free from fillers, by-products, and artificial colors and flavors. You can see and smell the difference, and your dog can taste it!
Zuke’s Commitment to Quality Products
- Our quality control and safety standards exceed the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) standards for pet food.
- Our ingredients meet stringent U.S. quality standards.
- Our products are free from fillers, by-products, and artificial colors and flavors.
Testing Controls
- We test for pathogenic bacteria throughout the entire manufacturing process, including the finished products, before they ever leave the manufacturing facility.
- Grains are tested for aflatoxins, and meat ingredients are tested for salmonella, E. Coli and other pathogenic bacteria.
- All of our products must pass salmonella testing before entering our distribution centers.
- Zuke’s Hemp Naturals use purified broad spectrum hemp extract and this ingredient goes through a distillation process to remove the THC. We selected a trusted partner with specialized capabilities and technology in removing the THC compound while maintaining the integrity of other cannabinoids and consistency of the ingredient. Following distillation, we also take the extra step to conduct third-party testing of our purified hemp extract to ensure there are no-measurable levels of THC.
