How do you prepare your blends?Updated 9 months ago

All of our products are prepared in our own food licensed commercial kitchen so we maintain the highest possible standards. Our facility is licensed for human food manufacturing, meaning that we adhere to human food standards. We are unique in that we do all manufacturing in our OWN facility and have never used a co-packer. We even do our own supplements mixing in house, never using premixed vitamin or mineral packs. We prepare our pet food products with the same care you use when preparing meals for your own family.

Every step of every operation is 100% under our own control with My Perfect Pet Food:

1. Gently Baked to FDA Recommendations 

Not only do dogs and cats love the aroma of freshly cooked meats, they're safer for pet owners to handle and pets to consume. We gently bake all meats to preserve nutrients and meet the temperatures recommended by the FDA for human food safety. We only use muscle meats—never ground bones/frames, junk meats, by-products, pre-ground, or mechanically deboned meats. Our process is very simple, much like a bakery except that instead of flour and sugar, we use meat. Once our boneless skinless meats are gently baked, they're blended with raw veggies – the safety of cooked plus the benefits of raw.

We bake each of the meats separately, cooking each only to the FDA minimum required temperature for that specific ingredient. Because we add the vegetables separately, we are able to preserve all the nutrient in their natural state, along with heat sensitive enzymes and other nutrients that go far beyond just the essential nutrients listed in the AAFCO profiles.

You'll never see meals, by-­products, glutens, synthetic supplements, GMOs or other fillers listed in our ingredients. Instead, you'll only find fresh, whole ingredients that are naturally high in nutrients that you can actually recognize and pronounce.

2. Finely Ground

We want the best for your pet's digestive system. Once mixed, all ingredients are ground into small pieces for easy digestion and blended together to achieve an optimal balance of nutrients and uniform consistency. This eliminates any chance for pets to pick out the meat and leave the rest – and ensures perfect nutrition in every bar.

3. Blended

All ingredients are blended together, and supplements are added last. This prevents natural vitamin supplements from being subjected to any heat.

4. Formed into Portioned Bars for Easy Serving

Blended food is then formed into individual portion control food bars and immediately frozen which eliminates the need for any preservatives.

5. Frozen and Packaged to Reach your Kitchen Safely

Frozen food bars are then packaged, and ready for distribution. Most of our food bars are individual wrapped, making them convenient to thaw and serve – or to toss in a cooler when traveling. Because they are prepared to human food standards, they can be stored next to your own food in the refrigerator or cooler. The quality of a product can never be better than the quality of the ingredients used to make it AND the quality of processing. We use only highest quality human grade ingredients and manufacture to human food standards to ensure our products are safe for your pets and your entire family. Nothing goes into our products that isn’t good enough for us. Employees often enjoy lunch made with ingredients from the day’s production. At My Perfect Pet we like to say that we eat as well as our pets!
