Yes
Cafe Nara is the broth and treat line of Caru Pet Food Company, which lists its address as 601 21st Street, Vero Beach, Florida. The FAQ on cafenarapetfood.com answers "Where are your products produced?" with "In the United States," and says the bone broths "are prepared in a human food plant. Like all Caru products, they're made in the United States." The brand's own Amazon listings for its Air Dried Dog Food and Jerky Squares also read "Made in USA."
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Natural bone broths (chicken, beef, pumpkin) | USA ("prepared in a human food plant"; plant city not stated) | Made in USA |
| Air Dried Dog Food (chicken and beef recipes) | USA ("made in the USA" on the brand's Amazon listings) | Made in USA |
| Jerky Squares for dogs | USA ("Made in USA" on the brand's Amazon listings) | Made in USA |
| Daily Dish Smoothies (Caru sister line) | Thailand | Imported |
The company does not name the city of the plant that makes its food; Vero Beach is its office. The one imported line it names is a sister product, Daily Dish Smoothies, which it says are "prepared in Thailand." Its FAQ also says a few ingredients come from abroad: "a handful of vitamins and minerals which come from Europe and/or Japan and Tapioca Starch from Thailand."

About Cafe Nara
Cafe Nara bone broths, air-dried dog food and jerky squares come from Caru Pet Food Company of Vero Beach, Florida, which says its products are made in the United States except one smoothie line.
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.
