About Brand
Integrating Raw Feeding and ScienceTM.
AnswersTM Pet Food is a nutrient-dense line of fermented raw wholefoods specifically formulated by a nutritional scientist to find the most species-appropriate diet for pets of all ages. We use whole cuts of organic and pasture-raised meat, organs and bone, and offer superfoods to give your pets optimal nourishment. We are veterinarian used and recommended.
Products
Along with having the highest standards in sourcing and quality of wholefoods, we are also proud to be the only fermented raw pet food available on the market. Our products are sustainably made without the use of toxic pesticides, synthetics or artificial additives, antibiotics, or GMOs. Answers’ nutrient-dense diets are specially formulated for dogs and cats of all ages. All of our formulas offer advanced nourishment and competitive inhibition through fermentation, using no high-pressure processing (HPP), and with no bacteriophages, freeze-drying, or dehydration.
Probiotic powerhouse
Our unique process sets us apart in the pet food industry.
Our nutritional vision is to make the best pet food available. Over the course of our research, we found that the best way to accomplish this was by using fermented raw foods. Since the birth of our company in 2009, we have enjoyed organic growth all over the country, and have seen fantastic results in animals switching from processed, raw, or so-called raw foods to our fermented diet.
Why fermentation?
Unlike any other raw diet, Answers Pet Food enhances the nutritional value of raw food through the process of fermentation. By utilizing kombucha (fermented organic decaffeinated green tea), raw cultured whey, cultured raw goat’s milk and kefir, we created our own category and became the first and only fermented raw pet food supplier in the industry.
The importance of our fermentation process.
Good bacteria are needed to create a thriving gut. We believe that bacteria is the number one ingredient missing from pet food. We inoculate every one of our foods with good bacteria and allow them to thrive. These bacteria go to work pre-digesting the food, making it easier for your pet to assimilate nutrients. They also create new vitamins, enzymes, and organic acids that simply aren’t present in non-fermented foods. Good bacteria fill up the food, and also inhibit the growth of bad bacteria. Safety through inhibition— just like nature has done from the very beginning. Fermentation is the most natural and effective way for us to make our products as safe and healthy as possible.
Fermentation’s health benefits.
Our raw fermented pet foods are formulated to create a healthy gut. Fermentation supports healthy immune function by increasing the B-vitamins, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, and lactic acid that fight off harmful bacteria. It’s also the ultimate source of probiotics.
Organic pet food grown right. Made with fresh air and sunshine.
We go the extra mile to ensure that every step of our process is performed humanely and ethically.
Nothing affects the overall nutritional quality of pet food more than how its ingredients are treated and sourced. Growing and farming organic food isn’t easy.
We help keep family farms alive.
We support small, multi-generational family farms that, in turn, support the communities in which they live. Our farmers are concerned with animal welfare and environmental consciousness. We love working with these farmers, as they take pride in raising their livestock and crops in a traditional manner more consistent with quality and sustainability. The focus for us and our farmers is not about how much we produce,but whether we produce it correctly, and ensuring we make every effort to reduce our carbon footprint.To ensure the fundamentals of our cooperative initiative, we use farms that are independently audited by the Global Animal Partnership to protect earth’s land, water, and animals. We also visit these farms ourselves on a regular basis.
Industrial, factory farming is ruining the physical health and quality of life of our nation’s livestock. By contrast, our farms raise healthy, happy animals in the fresh air, under the sun and blue skies. Unlike the majority of pet food company farming practices, our animals are allowed to enjoy their native diet, free of GMOs. The cows and goats that produce our fermented milks are grass-fed and pasture-raised. And our turkeys love to graze on nature’s bugs (as well as grass).The care we take in producing the best-quality pet foods goes as far as lacto-fermenting our organic vegetables at the very farms on which they are grown.
We have sustainable standards for our products.
Answers Pet Food makes every effort to avoid or minimize the use of plastics in every stage of food production and storage. Plastic may offer convenience, but also negatively impacts the environment, especially our oceans. We’re also disturbed by plastic’s ability to leak into the very food it contains. This troubling fact was recently supported by a 26-year study involving dogs. By recycling Answers Pet Food’s carton packaging, you help reduce the amount of plastic in our environment, thereby supporting both nature and your pet
From farm to bowl
We are a small company based in Pennsylvania.
We still do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing. Starting out, we knew there needed to be a higher standard of quality nutrition, food bio-availability, and a more humane way to source farm animals in the pet food industry. We knew the state of operations at other pet food companies, and understood that pet food currently on the shelves was frequently low quality. We didn’t want to be a large industrial corporation that outsources materials, or one of the so-called raw food companies employing harsh processing techniques like high pressure processing or freeze-drying. We knew it was time to offer a humane, sustainable way of organic, pasture-raised farming that protects the food state, the environment, animals, and our pets’ well-being. From farm to bowl: this is how Answers Pet Food was created.
Our vision is to reinvent how pet parents think.
Our standards are set by science, and by socially and environmentally conscious principles. We’d like pet owners to re-examine how to meet their pets’ nutritional requirements and health care needs.
Our mission is to be more than a pet food manufacturing company.
We’d rather be an ethical, socially and environmentally-conscious, and best-practices based movement in the raw pet food industry.
Our goal is to improve the probability that our pets live longer, happier and healthier lives.
Moreover, we hope that the current world population will leave a more peaceful, better educated and cleaner planet to future generations. We promise, despite the corporate climate of profit and greed in the pet food industry, to always put your pet’s health first.
