Who Manufactures Your Dog Food?

[Britster]

Since everyone has been so interested in where our dogs food is being manufactured, I figured it'd be nice to have a thread we could refer people to.

This has nothing to do with company ownership... just where the food is produced. A company, such as Blue Buffalo, can make the same food at a variety of different plants.

Please add to it!! I know I am missing a lot! Or change if one is wrong.

A TON of canned foods are manufactured at Menu Foods. I know Lotus has their own cannery, they went around and looked for a place to produce their canned foods, and weren't satisfied with any of them so they made their own.

Thanks!
Some of them may be outdated, because the last update was in 2007, just FYI.

Thank you Britster. I only know about it cause it's the one the pet store we go to uses, just found out about it last week, haven't had time to read everything on the site so I wasn't aware of the last time it was updated. Hope it still helps some though.

I was going to list Wysong Foods, as being one of the few companies I'm aware of that uses their own manufacturing facilities. Surprised to see Wysong listed above with Menu Foods. Upon further checking, there are only 2 canned variety Wysong foods produced by Menu Foods, all other Wysong Foods are produced in-house.

Oh and for those feeding Wellness Small Breed Adult Health, I called Wellness, they make it in house as well. They said the Diamond doesn't make any of the small bags, only some of the 30 pound bags. They said if you look at the expiration date on a 30 pound bag of any of their foods, there's a code on it, if it has a "K" or a "D" in it, Diamond makes it.
