Do our
competitors?
100% US
Rawhide isn't good enough!
If it says "Made
from US hides" or "100% US Rawhides" that
does not mean it's made in the USA!
US hides can be sent to China and processed
there. Then sent back to the USA. Ask
questions and don't assume it is safe because it
says 100% US Rawhide.
If it doesn't say
"Made in USA" it isn't! |

Preparation of Product |
-
The rawhide raw material
is soaked in an alkaline
solution ((Ca(OH)2) to
clean and prepare for
quality control.
Unacceptable material is
trimmed and discarded.
Acceptable raw material
that passes our strict
standards is passed to
production.
-
Further cleaning
to accepted
rawhide raw
material is
soaked in a
solution of
water and
ammonia sulfate
-
((NH4)2SO4) at
the required
temperature for
the required
amount of time.
(All temps and
time are our
proprietary
recipe.)
|
-
|
-
The completely
clean rawhide is
then sterilized
in Hydrogen
Peroxide (H2O2)
at the required
temperature for
the required
amount of time.
This also has a
desired side
effect of making
the rawhide the
yellow-white
color you are
familiar with.
-
After the
rawhide is
cleaned and
sterilized it
has to be
neutralized from
the PH level
achieved and
necessary for
cleaning and
sterilization.
The ammonia
sulfate and
hydrogen
peroxide
solutions are
completely
neutralized by
giving the
rawhide raw
material a bath
of sodium
bicarbonate,
also known as
baking soda,
(NaHCO3)
solution at the
required
temperature and
for the required
amount of time.
The rawhide raw
material is no
longer raw
material now, it
is canine edible
rawhide.
The rawhide is then
shaped and stored in
our "greenhouse"
(constantly
temperature
controlled room)
until 85% or more of
the humidity is
removed to achieve
the desired
hardness, but not
too much to avoid it
from becoming
brittle.
The product is then
inspected again and
the items that pass
our quality control
standards are either
packaged for sale,
or colored in the
FDA approved
colorings and
flavorings,
re-dried, and then
packaged for sale.
-
At no time is
arsenic used in
our
manufacturing
process. No
chemicals are
left without
neutralization
during the
manufacturing
process. You
can have this
confidence when
you purchase
from us.
