No Bleach, No Peroxide: How Informed Pet Food Keeps Treats Clean — Naturally

No Bleach, No Peroxide: How Informed Pet Food Keeps Treats Clean — Naturally

At Informed Pet Food, we believe your pet deserves the same quality of care you’d expect for your family — and that starts with what we don’t use in our treats. ❌

Unlike some manufacturers, we do not sanitize our treats with bleach, hydrogen peroxide, or any other harsh chemicals. Here’s why that matters.


🧪 Why Some Companies Use Chemicals

Large-scale pet treat manufacturers sometimes rely on chemical sanitizers — like bleach (sodium hypochlorite) or hydrogen peroxide — to "clean" or disinfect meat products before processing. While these substances are legal in some manufacturing contexts, they’re not something we believe belong in or on your pet’s food.

These chemicals may leave behind residues or alter the natural nutrient profile of ingredients. And for pets with sensitive systems, allergies, or chronic conditions like pancreatitis, that’s an unnecessary risk.


🌿 What We Do Instead

We rely on safe, natural food-handling and dehydration techniques that eliminate pathogens without compromising the integrity of the treat:

Sourced responsibly from trusted farms and inspected suppliers
Gently dehydrated to lock in nutrients and eliminate harmful bacteria
Stored and packaged in clean, temperature-controlled environments

Our methods are effective, transparent, and don’t require chemical shortcuts.


❤️ Clean Ingredients You Can Trust

At Informed Pet Food, we let the ingredients speak for themselves. That means:

  • No chemical washes

  • No artificial preservatives

  • No weird smells or chemical aftertaste

Just single- or limited-ingredient treats that are as wholesome as they are safe.


🐾 Your Pet’s Health Is Our Priority

We’re pet people first. Every batch of our treats is made with care and tested for safety — without compromising on purity or quality. Because your pets deserve food that’s safe, simple, and truly clean.
