At Hokuō®, we take animal welfare seriously. When we say animal welfare comes first, we mean it! Although chicken isn’t the primary protein in our pet products, it’s still an excellent source of nutrition for many pets. So, when it was time to source chicken, we had strict criteria in mind: top-notch animal welfare, happy and healthy chickens, free-range living, organic farming practices, and a small, ethical farm. After much research, we found the perfect source in the Estonian countryside.
This small, organic farm provides us with high-quality chicken parts used in some of our products: Ultimate Blue Spirulina, Extra Chicken Feet, and Extra Chicken Necks. The farm ensures that each chicken lives a fulfilling life, raised in a natural environment with care and respect, before they become healthy and nutritious treats for your pets.
Why Ethical Sourcing Matters in Pet Treats
At Hokuō®, we believe that animal welfare should be at the heart of every pet product. Whether we are sourcing lamb, fish, or chicken, we are dedicated to partnering with farms that prioritize the well-being of their animals. Ethical sourcing not only ensures better quality ingredients but also guarantees that the animals have lived in conditions that promote a high standard of care. This commitment to quality and compassion is reflected in every treat we produce.
The Benefits of Chicken for Pets
Chicken is a high-protein, low-fat option that offers several health benefits for pets. It's a lean source of protein, packed with essential vitamins and minerals like B6 and phosphorus, which support your pet’s overall well-being. Our chicken-based treats, such as Extra Chicken Feet and Extra Chicken Necks, are perfect for promoting healthy joints and bones in pets, thanks to their natural collagen content.
By choosing Hokuō®'s pet treats, you're not only providing your pets with nutritious and delicious snacks, but you’re also supporting responsible, humane farming practices. We ensure that every step of the process, from farm to bowl, meets the highest standards of quality and ethics.
