K-9 Kraving, the industry’s first and only USDA Certified raw diet dog food, is manufactured by Boesl Packing Company, Inc. A family owned and operated company since1932, Boesl originally produced hot dogs and smoked meats. Today, we still produce one of the top five hot dog brands in the Baltimore-Washington area. Boesl is comprised of 21,000-square feet of dedicated manufacturing, on-site packaging, industrial refrigeration, freezing and dry storage space. In 2000, we applied our knowledge of producing human food to create a consistently safe and optimally healthy raw diet dog food; in the process, we became the first pet food manufacturer to receive USDA Certification nationwide.

USDA Certification means the United States Department of Agriculture formally confirms the integrity of K-9 Kraving brand products as genuine and guarantees a higher standard. During production, a USDA agent is present—inspecting every ingredient and their sources, ensuring equipment, water, food handling and employees maintain strict sanitation codes. As a result, K-9 Kraving carries the distinctive USDA Certified seal. (A-17095)

100% USDA certified, inspected and approved, K-9 Kraving products are manufactured in our state-of-the-art processing facility in Baltimore, Maryland using only human grade and USDA inspected ingredients bred, born and raised within the United States.

Boesl manufactures with a difference, providing an optimally safe raw diet dog food:

• Proven high-quality ingredients are stored at 8-degrees Fahrenheit on-site
• Each and every 250-pound batch of K-9 Kraving raw diet dog food produced is carefully and accurately measured for continuity in quality, nutritional value and texture.
• We use a cold-manufacturing method; all food components consistently remain below 28-degrees Fahrenheit throughout the entire production and packaging process. Our team works diligently in a temperature controlled production area to avoid the onset of harmful bacteria.
• Only commercial grade stainless steel equipment is used to process and package frozen muscle meat, organ meat, ground bone and vegetables with our vitamin and mineral mix. To prevent cross-contamination, all equipment is sanitized daily and between producing varying protein formulas.
• Each complete batch of K-9 Kraving is transferred for immediate packaging. K-9 Kraving is packaged into airtight chubs or vacuum packed patties, providing fresh tasting food for your canine companion.
