Seeking private labels for small runs
I just started my company making dog treats. I am looking for a manufacturer that would be able to take me to the next step in producing and bagging my treats. I need a company that can do mixing and baking using natural ingredients including chicken. I would prefer the company to be on the east coast. If there is someone who would be able to help me, or steer me in the right direction I would be most thankful. Roya SalahianSimply Brands, IncSee More
Jeffrey Michael Bond replied to Roya's discussion cat treats in the group Nutrition and Ingredients"It is important to determine the overall balance of a diet with respect to specific amino acid, fatty acid, mineral and vitamin levels in the diet and how they meet the requirements of the animal that it is being formulated and ultimately fed to.…"

Lori Naipo replied to Roya's discussion cat treats in the group Nutrition and Ingredients"My cat eats chicken, beef and turkey jerky from Doggies Unlimited. I have to break it up into bite
size pieces. It is made fresh and has no preservatives, artificial flavoring. No salt. Only fresh meat,
carrots, broccoli, zucchini, sweet potato,…"
carl Eidsforth replied to Roya's discussion Raw Food Diet"hi, what are your reasons for not liking the dry kibble?"
Theo Coetzee replied to Roya's discussion cat treats in the group Nutrition and Ingredients"Well in our experience I totally agree that cats are carnivores and therefor need more meat in their diets but with 10% max rice added to the diet you'll never have a cat with an upset stomach. Rice is one of the best bowl cleansers in both…"
"You have to understand the difference between dry and wet food labels. A wet food with 14% protein is actually quite high compared to a dry food with 20%. remember that moisture makes up a fair amount of a wet dog food. Frozen Primal has more than…"
Ann Rader commented on Roya's blog post Raw Food Diet"Adding more chicken to the formula adds more protein but it may well throw the entire balance to the food off and make the food less digestible. This has nothing to do with feeding or not feeding a dry food. Perhanps one of the nutritionists here on…"
Roya commented on Roya's blog post Raw Food Diet"Primal is considered one of the top dog foods, and it is wonderful for their coat. However, I am having the exact opposite effects. Is anyone familiar with the raw food diet and/or Primal? I am curious to talk about ingredients and their effects to…"
Ann Rader commented on Roya's blog post Raw Food Diet"Each formula is a careful balance of nutrients – a matrix where the balance allows the body to successfully use the foods. That balance is what makes ‘nutrition’. Simply adding more protein doesn’t mean that you dogs are…"
Roya commented on Roya's blog post Raw Food Diet"Is it ok to add boiled chicken breast to the Primal prepackaged raw food if it the "chicken one" to increase the protein, or should I stick to raw chicken breast soaked in a little bit of apple cider? The food is so natural she should have…"
Ann Rader commented on Roya's blog post Raw Food Diet"Roya, The amounts on an ingredient label read differently when the food is wet (canned or raw) than when it is a dry kibble. So the 14% protein in a raw food doesn't mean that the food is below the required protein necessary for maintenance as…"

Finalizing payment with companies in China
I am ordering supplies for the first time from China, and is it true they only do T/T payments. Which is basically wire transfers. They sent me all of their bank information and are now waiting for me to make my payment.. I am not used to doing business this way, I just want to know if this is normal when doing business with companies overseas. Or am I being naive?
