Our foods are veterinarian-formulated and approved by the COAST+RANGE Nutrition Team - a group of experts in canine nutrition with over 100 years of experience. Our foods also adhere to the nutritional guidelines established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).

In addition to following these guidelines, and all applicable state and federal laws, we perform over TWO DOZEN additional tests not required by law to ensure our foods are safe and nutritious including:

• Bacteria The most common cause of pet food recalls: TESTED ON EVERY BATCH – NO measurable levels of salmonella, ecoli, listeria, mold or staphylococcus detected.
• Heavy metals Contaminants commonly found in pet food: REGULARLY TESTED – NO unsafe levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead or mercury detected.
• Mycotoxins Contaminants commonly found in pet food with grains: EVERY BATCH OF FORMULAS WITH GRAINS TESTED – NO measurable levels of aflatoxin, vomitoxin, fumonisin, ochratoxing, T-2 toxin, or zearalenone detected.
• Pentobarbital A dangerous euthanasia drug found in pet foods using inferior ingredients like horse meat: REGULARLY TESTED – NO measurable levels detected.
• BPA/BHT Cheap preservatives commonly found in pet food that may cause health problems in dogs: REGULARLY TESTED – NO measurable levels of detected.

COAST+RANGE does not (and will not) perform any safety testing on animals (our labs use test tubes, not animals)

We believe that the earth (and the animals on it) are a precious resource. As a result, we strive to minimize the environmental impact of our products and to source ingredients in a responsible way. We put this belief into practice every day by using:

• Shipping Cartons - Recyclable and made with 50% post consumer waste.
• Bags - Biodegrade into a source of renewable energy 60 times faster than traditional pet food packaging.
• Eggs - Certified humane and cage-free.
• Kelp - Sustainably sourced and dried using geo-thermal energy.
