WHY GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH FOR YOURS?

Simply put, because we believe pet companions deserve it and pet parents will love you for it. We also believe that here in New Zealand we craft pure nutritious ingredients that stand apart.

Bonefide Gold - 100% Human-Grade

As animal lovers ourselves, we understand that pet parents are discerning customers – and what better choice than the ‘human-grade’ goodness found in our Bonefide Gold ingredient range.

We believe that human-grade should contain nothing but the purest ingredients, like those you’d find in your own kitchen – from the best quality beef bones to New Zealand-fresh vegetables and herbs.

Our human grade beef bone broth is crafted using 100% New Zealand origin, export quality grass-fed beef bones, in a human-grade kitchen.

The New Zealand Difference

New Zealand’s temperate climate allows livestock to freely roam and graze pasture 365 days a year. From birth to harvest, our beef cattle are grass-fed and finished with a 95% pasture-based diet. This means their meat is high in protein, mineral and vitamin content, making for great nutritious beefy bones, and the very best quality beef bone broth. It’s part of what we call The New Zealand Difference.

One Broth - Many Benefits

The next best thing to a marrow-filled beefy leg bone is a bone broth that’s crafted to maintain the natural nutritionally rich goodness found inside one.

Our pure beef bone broth/ extract has a high protein content (44% min) and is a naturally rich source of nutrients. It is believed these may be beneficial to support a healthy diet for dogs and cats.

A Pure Process For Pet Nutrition

We’re dedicated to maintaining the natural goodness in our beef bone extracts and broths as nature intended.

While nature provides the nutritional qualities, our food science expertise provides a pure process for a healthy rich formulation.

Responsible Sourcing

Discerning pet parents know that pet nutrition is about more than their companions eating the right foods.

It’s about making sure the ingredients in those foods come from quality sources that are transparent, sustainable, and ethical.

We believe responsible sourcing is all about respectful procurement – this means respecting our sources and our resources – from the water we use in our process, to the farmers and producers who supply our raw materials.
