A homemade diet for a dog named Karu
Caru Pet Food Company says it is run by Adrian and Pamela Pettyan, two Canadians and medical professionals who first started Karu's Canine Cuisine in 2010. The company is headquartered at 601 21st Street in Vero Beach, Florida. Cafe Nara is its line of pour-over broths, meal toppers and treats for dogs and cats. The company says "nära" means nourish or nurture.
What is made in the US, and the one exception
The company's FAQ asks where its products are produced and answers: "In the United States, with the exception of Daily Dish Smoothies which are prepared in Thailand." It adds that its stews, baked treats and broths are made in USDA approved and inspected facilities. Daily Dish is a separate Caru line, not part of Cafe Nara.
The air-dried food and the hip and joint and calming jerky squares do not appear on the company's own site, but their store listings state they are made in the USA. Caru does not name the town where its plant is, so Vero Beach should be read as the head office, not the factory.
