If you haven’t strolled down the pet food aisle lately, you may not know that we’ve expanded our private label line of pet foods. We continue to offer our 365 Everyday Value™ pet foods for a quality human-grade pet food at a value price and have added 365 Everyday Value™ Holistic pet foods for well-rounded nutrition without the use of by-products.
Think all pet foods are the same? Think again. Pet food is divided into two separate categories: human and non-human grade. All of our 365 Everyday Value™ pet food products are human grade. Human grade pet foods are processed according to the same manufacturing standards as human foods and they contain ingredients that are free from contamination, disease or adulteration. This means that the meat sources used in our products, including any by-products, are NOT from animals that have been rejected for human consumption. The ingredients are inspected with the same care as if they were to be sold as human food.
Our pet food brands offer choice and affordability: the original 365 Everyday Value pet food provides a safe, human grade product that meets pets’ nutritional needs at a great value. By using human grade by-products, we can provide a safe meat and protein source for your pets at an affordable price.
Our Holistic selections are made without the use of by-products. Every ingredient used in our Holistic pet food is carefully selected to provide nourishment to the whole pet. Whether it’s oatmeal (promoting a healthy digestive system) or Menhaden Fish Oil (an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acid), each ingredient in the Holistic pet formula supports important system functions and dietary needs. Additionally, our 365 Everyday Value™ Holistic food is baked and not extruded. Baking is done at lower temperatures over a longer period of time, which maintains the integrity and quality of the ingredients.
Transitioning your pet’s food
Maybe your puppy has grown into an adult. Perhaps your cat has gained some weight and your vet has suggested a diet regime. No matter what their stage of life, there will come a time to change your pet’s food. Pet food changes can affect digestion. In an effort to reduce the side effects, here’s a suggestion from our resident pet guru and pet food product development manager, Colleen Rogers, on introducing your pet to new foods using a set schedule to slowly ease them into the new routine.
“I talked to my vet when my dog, Rudy, started to gain weight. He suggested I switch to a lean formula dog food. He also gave me these easy steps so Rudy’s stomach and taste buds could ease into the new formula making everybody comfortable in the process!
On the first day of change, you should have plenty of the old dog food left. Use three quarters of their old food, and one quarter of the new food. You should do this for at least two days. After two days or so, add in another quarter, so you have half old food, half new food. Again, keep it at this level for another two days or so. Then add in a third quarter (one quarter old, three quarters new), and finally you can phase out the old food completely.”
Please keep in mind, these are only suggestions. With anything regarding your pet and their food, please consult your veterinarian before you change any feeding methods.

In regards to the 365 brand canned Lamb dog Food. Why does it say “lamb by-products” in the first line of the ingredients? I thought that Whole Foods Market won’t sell anything with animal by – products in its products.
August 21st, 2008 at 2:13 pm
@Krissy: Our 365 Everyday Value™ pet foods do contain by-products. They are made from human grade ingredients, which means that the meat sources used in these foods, including any by-products, are NOT from animals that have been rejected for human consumption. If you are looking for a pet food that does not contain by-products, then check out our Holistic pet foods. Thanks.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Exactly what is lamb by-products since lamb liver is listed? Also, what is the location and origin of the Lamb & Rice formula food?
August 26th, 2008 at 11:13 am
@Susanne I’m checking with our Private Label Team about the origin of the Lamb & Rice formula food and will be back with you shortly about details on that. As for the first part of your question, according to the Association Of American Feed Control Officials, Inc. (AAFCO), by-products are defined as the non-rendered clean parts, other than meat, from slaughtered mammals. This includes, but is not limited to, lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, livers, stomachs, and intestines freed of their contents. It does not include hair, horns, teeth and hoofs.
August 26th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
How do the prices compare for the 365 pet foods containing the by-products vs. similar product in the “Holistic” variety?
Aren’t the other brands of pet food sold at WFM free of by-products?
Is it possible that the by-product version may eventually be phased out in favor of selling only the “Holistic?”
August 27th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
I noticed the cat food cans selling for 50 cents a can, and went to grab a whole bunch when I noticed the main ingredient was “Meat By Products”. What kind of animal is the ‘meat’ from? I am personally shocked that Whole Foods would carry cat food of such a low quality. I know that ‘meat’ or ‘animal’ on a pet food label can mean anything from road kill to euthanized animals from shelters and vets offices. So what random animal parts are in your cat food?
August 28th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
@Susanne The country of origin is the US.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:46 am
@Kathryn Our 365 Everyday Value pet food does include human-grade animal by-products. You can see in Paige’s response to Krissy and my first response to Susanne what that means. The meat and meat by-products we use in our pet food do not include any of the ethically questionable possibilities you mention. we have no intention of phasing out the 365 Everyday Value pet foods that contain by-products in favor of only selling “Holistic” foods. We want to give our customers value options when choosing pet foods. The 365 Everyday Value brand pet foods are safe, human grade products that meet pets’ nutritional needs at a great value. By using human grade by-products we can provide a safe meat and protein source for your pets and offer a product at an affordable price.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:52 am
@SW Currently, we have no plans of phasing out the 365 Everyday Value pet foods that contain by-products in favor of only selling the Holistic line. We want to give our customers value options when choosing pet foods. The 365 Everyday Value brand pet foods are safe, human grade products that meet pets’ nutritional needs at a great value. By using human grade by-products we can provide a safe meat and protein source for your pets and offer a product at an affordable price.
August 29th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Winnie – Thanks for the response. Can you provide a price comparison for a couple of SKUs in the Everyday Value Holistic line vs. comparable items in the non-Holistic? The product has not yet made its way to our store (GHL/Nashville).
August 29th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
@Kathryn
Keep in mind that in nature, brain, liver, intestines etc are often the first things that are eaten as they contain higher nutritional value than muscle, which we humans normally consume.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:25 am
We cannot find your 365 label canned dog food in any of the varieties, i.e. Turkey & Rice, Lamb & Rice, or Beef at our local (Greenwich) Whole Foods. Has this excellent product been discontinued, or is this just a temporary shortage? JR
September 17th, 2008 at 9:56 am
@Joel I’ve emailed the leadership at the Greenwich store and will get back to you as soon as I have an answer from them. Thanks for commenting!
September 18th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
I understand that the by-products are “human grade” but would any human food be made from these by-products? If so, what?
September 29th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
my dog has lost a lot of weight. what brand/type of food would you recommend?
October 7th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
@karen It’d be best to consult your veterinarian with regards to your dog’s diet.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
The Wild Oats store in Tampa carried a dog treat that contained crab and fish that appeared to be freeze dried and was wrapped in a brown shell. My dog is limited in what she can eat but loved these treats. The store doesn’t have them now. Does anyone know what these treats were called or the website of the manufacturer?
October 18th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
I would like to know if the maufacturer / provider of 365 Everyday Value or 365 Everyday Value Holistic pet foods tests its products on animals. With the recent outing of Iams, I’m interested in purchasing cat food from a company that does not cause suffering of animals to produce or optimize its food. Does your manufacturer engage in animal testing and/or experiments on animal test subjects that endanger the quality of life or health of animals?
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:19 pm
@Amanda Our 365 Everyday Value pet food and 365 Everyday Value Holistic pet food is taste-tested by animals but is never inhumanely tested on animals. The foods are fed to animals in order to ensure that they meet the manufacturer’s claims, such as weight maintenance or special nutrition needs for growing puppies. We make certain that the formulas we sell live up to their claims. The facilities that conduct these taste tests are required to pass annual inspections by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal Care unit to ensure that they meet the requirements put forth by the Animal Welfare Act. Additional inspections are conducted by our manufacturers in order to confirm that these facilities are adhering to even higher standards of animal treatment, veterinary care, sanitation, quality control & documentation among many other inspection criteria. I hope this alleviates your concerns!
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Picking a food for your dog can be an especially daunting task; especially if your dog has special needs or you have multiple dogs with different needs. If you want to make sure that your dog’s dietary needs are being met be sure to talk to your vet and transition to new foods slowly. I think its important to start out with a quality brand of dog food that has several options available for the changing stages of your dog’s life. While we never used holistic dog food, we did heavily rely on brand that our vet recommended. However, holisitc dog food can be worth the extra expense because dogs are less likely to have allergic reations to the contents.
November 8th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
I was wondering if the human-grade meats used in the Holistic line are from grass-fed / free-range animals?
December 22nd, 2008 at 6:56 pm
I cannot find anywhere listed on the canned 365 dog food WHERE the dog food is made. Between the melamine and the mold killing off pets with food made from China, I want to be sure that the food I buy for my dogs is from the USA.
I have bought the chicken strips from WF which are made in China (scary and disappointing). I’d prefer that any food WF sells is NOT from China or Mexico for that matter.
I don’t trust the companies that say they test their products for melamine. Maybe I’m cynical but clearly there are some sick and dishonest people out there trying to get over on the public and keeping the labels the same. What does WF do to guarantee that there are no TOXINS such as these in products they sell whether private label or from another company?
January 7th, 2009 at 2:04 am
@Susan The country of origin of our 365 canned dog food is the US.
January 9th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
We feed our puppy the 365 Holistic Kibble. Are all the ingredients’ origins in the US?
February 2nd, 2009 at 6:53 am
Currently, all of our pet foods are made in the US; however, we cannot give ingredient origins for non-single ingredient products. Please know that we work with all of our vendors, including our pet food vendors, to produce great products that meet the strict quality standards on which Whole Foods Market prides itself. Our Quality Assurance team reviews all of our Private Label vendors, including our pet food vendors, based on their performance at annual third party Good Manufacturing Practices Food Safety Audits. In these audits we review food safety, recall programs, finished product testing, and more as outlined in our auditor protocol guidelines. We always audit new vendors prior to manufacturing and all of our vendors are reviewed annually.
February 2nd, 2009 at 11:09 am
Winnie: I like the value of the 365 Everyday Value dried food, but the only two varieties available at my local (Jericho, NY) Whole Foods store are Performance, which seems like it is for growing puppies, and Lean Formula, which appears to be for dogs that need weight control. I have an adult dog that does not have a weight issue. Is there a “regular” or “maintenance” variety of this product? I asked a grocery department employee at the store and he said that these were all they carried, but there might be more varieties coming out in a few months. Please advise. – Jeff

I recently switched my cats to the 365 “Oceanfish & Tuna” canned cat food because I like that it uses human grade ingredients and minimal grains. However, my vet is trying to determine the number of calories per can of food since one of my cats is overweight. Can you tell the number of calories per can? Also, I would love to know the “As Fed” nutritional content as I’ve been told it is more accurate than the “Guaranteed Analysis,” and the information would be useful in monitoring my cats’ diet. Thanks so much!
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I bought the canned food for my cat this past weekend and I read the ingredients, but I need to make sure there is no soy or corn. My cat seems to have problems with these ingredients.
Thank you.
March 4th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
@Lynn Our 365 canned cat foods do not contain any soy or corn products. We hope your cat enjoys them!
March 5th, 2009 at 10:25 am
I just want to compliment you guys. My dog is very allergic to chicken, and your lamb/rice canned food is the only dog food I’ve been able to give her.
Because most places have some chicken cross-contamination, I’ve had to make only my own dog food for her FOR YEARS!!!
Now, whenever I want I can actually feed her your food and feel confident!!
thank you. You guys rock. Pookie the pitbull says thanks too.

@Laura There are 152 calories per 5.5 oz serving of the 365 Everyday Value Whitefish and Tuna Cat Food forumula.
March 23rd, 2009 at 5:20 pm
My cat has renal problems & it has been suggested to switch him to your 365 everyday value food. He is loving the Chicken & Rice. I am wondering about the 1)calorie count in the 5.5oz can; 2)am concerned about the rice as grain and the impact on kidneys; 3) the amount of sodium/salt/potassium; & 4) amount of phosphorous?
Thanks!
Lisa
March 31st, 2009 at 10:36 pm
@Lisa Here are your answers! (1) 192 calories, (2) you’ll have to consult your vet on that one, (3) sodium – 310mg, potassium – 370mg, (4) phosphorous – 550mg. Hope that about covers it! Let us know if you need any more info.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:26 am
This may sound rude, but does Whole Foods carry any other company’s dog food? I am going to try the 365 Brand, but I have also been told about some other very healthy and nutritious brands for dogs (ex. Innova, Orijen, Real Meat treats for dogs) that I assumed Whole Foods would carry, being the healthy food powerhouse that ya’ll are, but which I cannot find on the website. Sorry if the question seems unfair since you do have healthy options already!
May 29th, 2009 at 12:53 am
We do carry a variety of pet food options – please check with your local store for their selection as it will vary. For your nearest store, check out http://tr.im/allstore

Are animals tested on to develop this product?
July 30th, 2009 at 10:57 pm

Lean dry kibble…Is there anywhere I can find the nutritional values online. I am most concerned with the fat levels
September 12th, 2009 at 7:30 am
Just wanted to say thanks for offering 365 canned cat food at such a great price! I was impressed by the ingredients list. At Petco, I couldn’t find any cat foods that were grain-free, even among the “premium” brands. I do not have a problem with human-grade meat by-products, and I appreciate that you went into more detail here about what the by-products are. My cats are picky, but they love the beef and liver formula! I’m even able to order it by the case and save a little money. Thanks again!

Since I first began shopping for pet food at WFM I have had three canines and five felines Currently 2 dogs – 15.7 yrs. and 12 yrs. and 4 cats – 19 ½ yrs, 16 ½ yrs. and 15 yrs. Only one dog, my eldest who passed away a few years ago, had been slightly overweight that’s when I began my journey for healthier food choices. That’s when I began 365 pet foods and fresh or frozen thawed vegetables. None of my other “kids” have been overweight.
Eventually, I decided to search out higher quality pet foods and was pleased that WFM provided their own and some other brands. I prefer pet foods free from corn, wheat, fillers or packaged chicken products for my dogs and No corn, wheat fillers for my cats. The only chicken my cats consume is the canned 365. I never purchased dry foods with corn, wheat or chicken. My “kids” consume WFMI dry for dogs, canned and dry for cats plus some other brands of chosen pet foods such as semi cooked meats plus raw veggies in every meal: green beans, collard greens, turnip greens, spinach, broccoli (once in awhile), peas, carrots, cauliflower, herbs and much more.
My felines love the canned 365 as well as another brand that has NO grains I puree veggies and mix with food. My eldest cat passed a few years ago at 21 years old. My oldest feline is 19 and doing quite well. When he was a kitten he was diagnosed with serious digestive problems and given the prognosis of about four years …HA! Now at 19 1/5 he even climbs all the stairs in the house (and there are many). My oldest dog (70 pounds) is 15.7 years and her health issue is some joint stiffness and sometimes hearing difficulty.
Thanks to WFM conscientious effort on the pet food department my kids continue to enjoy a healthy active life.
Every conscientious pet caretaker must consider the benefits of WFM pet food choices. Thank you.
October 8th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
I threw out the bag with the info for feeding instructions on the 365 lean dog food. For a dog with a goal weight of 35, how many cup/cups per day should I be feeding him? I am feeding him 1/2 cup twice a day right now.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
You guys (Whole Foods) apparently fail to understand something fundamental about your dog and cat customers – we don’t want ANY meat “by-products” in our animals’ food products. NONE. If that’s what we wanted we’d just buy Purina or Nestle or that awful Science Diet stuff.
If this is your idea of quality pet foods, you guys need to start from scratch.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:21 am
I recently adopted two kittens, and everyone I’ve spoken with told me to buy only food that is grain free. I saw the 365 brand today at my local Whole Foods and did not see any grains listed in the ingredients. But I see in the responses here that there is rice and other grains. What is the case about grains in this food? The price is wonderful, if there is no grain.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:54 pm
I’m learning that the vast majority of pet food on the shelves at petsmart, etc. are testing their products on lab animals and there are some mind blowing stories out there. I have researched a product called Artemis that is cruelty free; do you carry it? Furthermore, is your brand cruelty free? Thank you.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
In response to Seven Burke: Wrong, Seven.
Some of us are enlightened enough to realize that by-products are not manufactured or artificial or wrong for animals to eat. They are in fact likely the best, most naturally desired part of the animal to be eaten “in the wild.” When carnivorous animals begin to eat the first mouthfuls of chewy yummy flesh are usually… by products, like the intestines, or the organs of the abdomen. The enlightened of the mamel world (bears coem to mind) even reserve this portion for their cubs.
So despite your wrong-headed position, this WFM customer is greatly pleased over the ingredient list of the 365 brand food he has bought his cats for years. The cats are healthy, mentally intact, despite my abusing them with actual carnivorous diets.
Kudos to WFM for putting up with such ridiculous demands for pet food and providing us with an affordable very healthy product. Some of the damnds make me laugh out loud: it should mimic wild animal food (Uh our animals are domesticated, people… not wild), it should be vegan (LOL!), vegitarian, contain ONLY meat, contain only meat *I* would consider eating- not by products, blah blah blah…
November 20th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Seven Burke, the WFM 365 ‘Holistic’ brand pet foods do not contain any by-products. Only their ‘Everyday Value’ marked foods contain by-products. While there is plenty of evil out there in some pet foods, know that ‘by-products’ aren’t necessarily one of them. It simply means its not muscle. As was mentioned on this page, its stuff animals in the wild eat first, the organs and such that most humans won’t eat.
When you think about it, this is a very green approach. Instead of throwing out all the other bits that humans won’t eat, pets that prefer these items get them. The WFM 365 pet foods only contain components from ‘human-grade’ animals from the US.
November 27th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
do you know how long the 365 canned dog food will stay fresh in the fridge once it’s opened. i probably get 4 feedings from one 13 oz. can. i wish it came in a smaller size for my small dog. thanks!
December 14th, 2009 at 11:21 am
What company manufactures the 365 pet food products?
For some reason my previous question regarding this issue was “moderated”.
December 17th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Hi Sinewave,
I’m checking in with our Private Label team to see if we can disclose the manufacturer. In many cases, we have signed disclosure agreements with our Private Label vendors, but I’ll see what we can tell you. Be assured that all products do meet our Quality Standards, regardless of manufacturer. Thanks!

Has the 365 Holistic puppy Kibble been discontinued? I haven’t been able to find it in my local WFM in Washington state.

I have purchased the 365 brand dry dog food for the last 2 years. Recently, my vet informed me that my pomeranian had a kidney stone that passed to her bladder (1 cm diameter!). He informed me that it was the dog food that caused these. He said I need to go to purina or science diet because these brands are frequently checked. Here I thought that I was buying a product that was a healthy option for my dog, when it almost killed her. The surgery cost $1200. That is some expensive food. DO NOT BUY this product!!!!
January 6th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Hi. Our old dog food (from Innova) is no longer being carried by our pet store so we thought we try the 365 Lean Formula (our Pug is somewhat overweight and the vet wants him to lose weight).
Can you tell me how many calories per cup there are. The recommended serving size based on his weight on the bag seems really high. (It says 2.25 cups/day but right now he only eats 1 cup/day — albeit of a full cslorie food.)
Thanks.
January 24th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Hi,
I’m feeding my dog with 365 Lean Formula Dry Food and I can’t find the calories.
Can you help me with this? She really needs to loose weight and I need to know how many calories the food has.

Hello,
I recently made my first trip to Whole Foods in Sarasota Florida. Wow what a great store. I am from Newark Ohio and the closet to me is in Columbus so not to far. But my question is my boxer is currently on Science Diet Perscription Z-D Dog Food and which is very expensive. Which is basically a glutten free food and no bi products and its easy for digestion. Do any of the whole foods brands consist of the same thing? Because I would love to switch to your brand. Please let me know. Thanks Trevor
March 4th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
@Trevor,
We currently do not have any pet foods that could be considered gluten-free, but we will be reevaluating our pet food program in 12-16 months, so check back after that.
Thanks!
March 4th, 2010 at 9:40 pm

Can you tell me how many calories are in a cup of each flavor of the 365 Everyday Value canned dog foods?
Also, can you tell me why this information isn’t more easily accessed (either on the label or on your website)?
Thanks for your time.

You do not want to feed your pet anything that has by-products listed as one of the top five. What they are saying is that after the animal was approved for human consumption, and then stripped of meat for butcher counters, the ALL the rest was put in a grinder and out comes the by-product. It’s gross. If you want REAL human grade dog food then check out ‘Orijen’… Just don’t feed it to a designer dog, they wont be able to handle it. I am no rep of them, I just did tons of research and this stuff came out on top, but its expensive. Bounce the ratings off http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com as they give it straight.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Why is it so hard to find dog food products on your website? I purchase dog food on a regular basis with my trips to your closes store (17 miles) and decided to try looking for brands on line, but that’s impossible.
Now I’m going to try to go more local.
April 2nd, 2010 at 8:37 am
Since our product selection varies from store to store, our product section online is meant more as a food guide than a comprehensive list of items we carry. Also, we currently do not offer any online ordering of products. Please check in with your local store/s for any questions or requests about specific products.

We do carry cat food, but selection varies between our stores. If you’re looking for a particular product, your best bet is to check in with your local store to see if they can start carrying it or special order it for you from one of our distributors. Thanks!

Is the holistic brand a special subset of the regular 365 Everyday Value pet food or are they the same thing?

I have 2 one year old female litter mate cats. One has recently is not only overweight but has been diagnosed with unirary tract infection. The vet told me to change to a food with a PH of 5-5.5. I also looked up this condition on line and found that canned food was the best for this condition. I cannot find any PH level listed on any feline food. Please help.

In regards to 365 Everyday Value Brand Dog and Cat food, who makes it for Whole Foods? Thanks in advance.

although my cat supplements his diet with the occasional rodent (usually rabbit), i wanted to make sure he gets enough water since urinary problems are a common problem with cats. i have been giving him a half can of the 365 brand beef broken into bite-sized pieces with about four ounces of hot filtered water (we call it ’soupies’ –he recognizes the word and comes running). here’s his picture: http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/ginduf/?action=view¤t=notmouse.jpg

I would like to know if the 365 canned dog food has perservatives in it?

Re: cat maintainance formula. I noticed that my cats produce much more fecal matter when I switched them to this food.
Also, chicken meal is listed as the primary ingredient. Does Whole Foods make a formula with chicken as the main ingredient?

I’m so glad I recently discovered the 365 canned cat food. No corn, soy, or wheat, and for only 49 cents a can! Wow! I don’t understand why people are worried about the “meat by-products”…..lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, livers, stomachs, and intestines — all things our pets would eat if they had to kill for their own food in the wild. My cats love the beef flavor, and their digestive health is much improved since they’ve switched to this food. My overweight cat eats MORE of this food than the food I gave him before, and he has LOST weight. Love, love, love it. I was been spending waaaay too much money on lower quality cat food before I discovered this great bargain. Only problem is… apparently the beef flavor is every cat’s favorite. My Whole Foods was completely sold out of the beef flavor so I had to get another flavor. The cats are eating it, but somewhat reluctantly. Their little faces are saying “Where’s the beef??” I think the store should consider stocking more of the beef flavor so they won’t run out. They had plenty of the other two flavors.

Uh… Just “*was* spending”. Not “was been spending”.

Do you carry raw food diets for dogs?
March 30th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
@Nancy: Our product selection can vary from store to store, so while some of our stores do carry raw foods for pets I suggest checking in at the location where you shop. Thanks!

I was wondering how many kcal and protein are in each can of your 365 everyday value cat food. I can’t find the nutritional facts anywhere online.

Hi. We use the 365 dry and canned cat food and our cats have never been spunkier with nice coats. They love it.
We just recently got a puppy and id love for the puppy to be on 365 as well. Is there a 365 puppy food? Is there a 365 canned food? All my store (Winston Salem, NC and soon to be Greensboro, NC) carries is the regular dry food. Is this food safe for puppies if it is all they make and carry?
Thanks!

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. Itâs pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

Your house is valueble for me personally. Many thanks!?-

Hi,
I have avoided buying 365 cat food because of by-products. However, I have an old cat and he seems to get tired of every food I get after a few months. So, out of desperation to have him eat, I bout the 365 which he loves so far. I do wonder though, like others I have read on this page, why 365 need by products. With all respect for Whole Foods where I shop a lot, Trader Joe’s has cat food with no by-products for $.69 can. So, for $.99 can, I would hope 365 could come up with something comparable. (He got tired of that one, so changed.)
Thank you.

The second link will help you identify the contact information for your store. A Team Member there will be happy to talk to you about which cat food products will be best for your pet. Happy hunting.

To qualify for the NonGMO project label—which I applaud—your chicken, turkey, lamb and beef ingredients must come from animals not fed genetically engineered corn soy and other GM ingredients and byproducts. How do you determine this—do you only use USDA organically certified animal ingredients, and rely on that, or do you have farmer/producer pledges and verifiaction? Are all such animal derived ingredients from the U.S.?
Looking forward to your reply.
October 10th, 2011 at 2:09 pm
@Michael Thanks for your thoughtful question. For a product to bear the Non-GMO Project Verified seal, it has to go through a third party verification process which includes inspections, testing, and a review of the producers quality control systems. To read about how we deal with GM products please check out our R.O.C.K. site “Reaching Out with Communication & Knowledge.” The link’s below.

I am looking for the answer to this question but do not see where you answered it. Are your dog foods crue;ty free?
Amy: I’m learning that the vast majority of pet food on the shelves at petsmart, etc. are testing their products on lab animals and there are some mind blowing stories out there. I have researched a product called Artemis that is cruelty free; do you carry it? Furthermore, is your brand cruelty free? Thank you.

November 6th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
@Cheryl None of our products are tested on animals, this includes our pet foods. The only test performed is a taste test to make sure our pet food is yummy for your pet family.

Our two dogs love the 365 canned food and it’s a great price. My only concern is the carrageen. I’ve read that carrageen can cause allergic reactions like stomach and gastrointestinal problems. I’m wondering how much carrageen is in the food, if it’s a hopefully safer type, etc. Thanks.

Is the 365 Holistic pet food coming from chickens or cows that were feed a vegetarian GMO-free diet? And were these products made in the USA or coming from China or elsewhere on the globe? Thanks.
January 2nd, 2012 at 7:01 pm
@Cindy Good question! Currently, the only products listed “organic” come from animals fed a GMO-free diet. However, all of our pet food is 100% vegetarian. These products should come from the US since the only product sourced from China are our 365 brand Edamame. Thanks for reaching out!
