our ingredients

To provide pets with a delicious, healthy, and balanced diet, all ingredients are consciously chosen and minimally processed.

This is real, nutrient-rich human quality food. Not animal feed.

Unlike
animal feed,

animal feed

About 98% of pet food is not food, but animal feed, which means it can contain ingredients from animals that are dead, dying, diseased or disabled- the “4Ds”. You will never find 4D meat in Humankind®. Human Quality requires meeting the highest quality ingredient and production standards for human food set by the US government.

Humankind® contains natural, USDA inspected chicken and superfoods bursting with antioxidants, phytonutrients, and healthy fiber. Packed with animal protein, fatty acids, and a natural prebiotic to support high energy, healthy skin coat, and proper digestion with vitamins and minerals. Simply add water to make a fresh and delicious meal.

Natural Chicken

Delicious chicken is our first, second, third, and fourth ingredients and consists of USDA-inspected, 100% human-grade deboned chicken, chicken hearts, chicken breast, and chicken liver sourced from U.S. farms. Each cut provides a rich source of nutrients, including a natural source of taurine, iron, vitamin B, niacin, and amino acids (building blocks of protein). Chicken is a good energy source, helps build strong bones and muscle, promotes healthy skin and shiny coat, and taurine promotes a healthy heart. Equally important, it is rich in lean protein that your pet craves.

Fresh beef liver

A nutrient-rich food packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, copper, Vitamin A, C, B12, and phosphorus. The benefits of beef liver include promoting healthy blood and muscle function (iron), important to help keep eyes and skin healthy (Vitamins A and K) the essential fatty acids support brain and joint health. Zinc in beef liver also helps with the immune system.

Freshly Harvested Pumpkin

A natural source of numerous vitamins and minerals like manganese, vitamins A, C, E, and K, Zinc, and phosphorus. It is also a great source of fiber and can help improve digestion (soothe the stomach), and help with constipation and diarrhea.

Blueberries (whole fruit)

Rich in Vitamin K, manganese, and antioxidants, blueberries promote the healthy metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, and help combat inflammation.

Broccoli

Filled with folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin K, and chromium, broccoli supports healthy cells and acts as an antioxidant.

Flaxseed

Flaxseed, a type of lignans, fiber and a great whole food source of the required essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which supports a healthy skin and coat.

Natural Egg Shells

A sustainable, upcycled, whole-food source of calcium carbonate, essential for healthy bones and teeth. Also contain eggshell membrane, which benefits joints, tendons, and ligaments.

Natural Vinegar

Natural buffered vinegar contains many flavonoids, phenolic acids, and aldehydes. Vinegar is a natural way to kill bacteria and prevent mold growth in foods.

Natural Cinnamon

Cinnamon contains potent antioxidants and anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps promote heart health and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Natural Rosemary

The herb is a natural antioxidant and preservative. It also supports your pet’s immune system and digestive tract. It contains antimicrobial qualities that can help balance the healthy bacteria in the gut.

Organic Kelp

Because it absorbs the nutrients from its surrounding marine environment, kelp is rich in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. It’s often considered a “superfood” due to its mineral content and is especially concentrated in iodine which is important for optimal thyroid function and metabolism.

Natural Parsley

Parsley is one of the most popular herbs in the world as it contains a natural source of vitamins A, B-12, C, K, and essential fatty acids. Vitamin C helps to provide immune support. Vitamin A is important for the development of your pet's vision and immune health.

Natural Oregano

The herb has significant antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant action with loads of vitamin K.

Natural Turmeric

Another holistic “superfood” due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, helps boost the immune system, aids in digestion and helps with pain associated with joints.

Organic Wildflower Honey from certified organic beehives and wildflower blossoms

Full of antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties that can help reduce infection while promoting healing. Pets love the sweet taste, and it helps improve the texture of the product.

Natural Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient that promotes a healthy immune system and healthy skin and coat in dogs. One of vitamin E's most important functions is as an antioxidant to protect against oxidative damage. This vitamin is also essential to cell function and fat metabolism. Natural Vitamin E is much better absorbed in the body than synthetic versions, which are more commonly found in pet foods.

Vitamins and Minerals

Almost all our nutrients (99.9%) are from whole foods and herbs. There are two supplements we needed to add to obtain the desired levels for a healthy dog: Zinc amino acid chelate and Vitamin D3 supplement.

is your pet eating "food" or "feed"?

This chart helps explain the different standards for feed versus Human Grade food. Just because an ingredient is allowed in feed does not mean that it is in all pet foods, but because feed companies don’t need to disclose this information, there really is no way for you to know. That is why we chose to adhere to Human Grade standards – so that you would always know what is in our food.
