STATING THE FACTS: HOMEWARD BOUND DRIED MEALS AND FRESH MEAT

What is Meal?

• a dry ground powder made from a wide variety of animal-based ingredients

• because of this broad definition, meal has a well-earned reputation for being an inferior ingredient

• driving this reputation are generic titles like “meat” meal, “animal” meal, “poultry” meal, “by-product” meal and “glandular” meal

• possibly made from anonymous sources such as spoiled supermarket meats, sick, diseased, or dying animals
  

• the source and quality of meal products – like meat products – are highly diverse, as are processing procedures

Homeward Bound Dried Meals

• we offer only “named”-specific meals such as chicken meal, salmon meal

• we use only high-quality, healthy, clean flesh and meat, skin/bone* from chicken, and salmon

• our ingredients are handled properly, stored safely, and processed in a closely inspected state-of-the-art facility

• our dried meals contain NO heads, entrails, feathers, fins or animal by-products

Benefits of Homeward Bound Meal

• Quality chicken or salmon meal can be up to 300% greater source of protein since it only contains about 10% moisture

• having meal in the diet provides great certainty as to the level of protein that can be measured into each kibble bite

• very digestible and capable of providing high quality protein and other essential nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus.

• a concentrated source of protein that cannot be supplied by fresh meats alone

Fresh Meat

• Our fish are “sustainably caught” using responsible fishing practises

• Ocean Fish is extremely fresh and in fact is “the catch of the day”

• Types of fish could be rockfish, pacific perch, pacific snapper, rock cod, rock sole

• The fresh meat is never frozen and the only form of preservation is refrigeration

Benefits of Fresh Meat

• ingredients are extremely fresh

• highly palatable ie, your pets will love the taste of it
