Our quality control processes begin before the actual manufacturing of the foods.

First, we are selective and deliberate in sourcing the ingredients we use from reputable suppliers. We then test our incoming ingredients against formal, defined specifications that our suppliers must meet. We test for compliance at multiple intervals throughout production to ensure our specifications are met. Ingredients are carefully selected based on nutritional need, not cost. Rayne uses the ingredients veterinary nutritionists recommend, not whatever ingredient may be cheaper.

Rayne selects our ingredients carefully and deliberately to deliver the best possible nutrition—we utilize non-animal derived fat sources such as algal meal as a source of omega-3 fatty acids and also coconut oil in our diets. We also use chickpeas as the carrier for our vitamin and mineral mix, rather than commonly used allergens like rice or wheat hulls.

We practice total transparency in our ingredients— including palatants. Palatants are often added to diets to increase the palatability of pet foods—even the most nutritious foods are of no use if pets won’t eat them. The palatant process can include spraying the food with animal protein—some producers choose not to disclose these additions in their ingredient list, but palatants can still affect highly sensitive pets. Rayne does not use undisclosed animal proteins in our palatants.
