Making healthy food choices have crossed over from man to man’s best friend. More and more dog owners are selecting food that minimizes cereal and maximizes fresh, whole foods, like fine cuts of meat and fresh vegetables. Since its early days, Breeder’s Choice Pet Foods has used only high-quality ingredients in its dog and cat foods.

A wholly owned division of Central Garden & Pet Company, the company began making frozen pet meals in 1947. In 1960, the line was expanded to include the company’s first oven-baked kibble and biscuits, which exceeded the minimum pet food nutritional requirements in an effort to be the most nutritious products available. A bakery was eventually added to the Irwindale, CA facility in the mid-1960s and still operates today, producing all-natural baked pet foods and treats around the clock.
