It's About Trust
Horizon Pet Nutrition is a Canadian owned developer and manufacturer of healthy premium pet foods. Horizon sources and includes only the best ingredients from the heart of the renowned Western Canadian Agriculture region with ingredients suitable for human consumption. The company operates it’s own state of the art manufacturing facility located in Rosthern, Saskatchewan with extraordinary personal care, attention and control systems to ensure safe and nutritional products. By employing the highest standards for ingredient sourcing adhering to strict quality and manufacturing control practices and operating in a clean northern Canadian environment, we are able to produce the highest quality products in the world.
Horizon talks about using high quality, safe products in our formulations, but so do many other companies. What is it that makes Horizon truly different than the others? There are a few quantifiable reasons why we are unique.
Our ingredient specifications are actually higher than for human food. Why? There is typically no mycotoxin or aflatoxin testing for human food but in our pet food manufacturing process, we conduct extensive safety controls to eliminate the risk of toxic ingredients.
As a strict practice, we also look for and source higher bushel weight and protein content in our grain ingredients. Nothing is allowed in that has ever been treated with aluminum phosphide or has any sign of insect, parasite or bacterial infestation. Being located in Saskatchewan, we can be and are highly selective with respect to ingredients. We have uncompromising standards and understand fully the responsibility of producing your pet’s food. As pet guardians ourselves, wanting a product we can trust for the health of our own pets, we know that you can trust Horizon's quality and standards.
We purchase only ingredients that have been produced with the best management practices with respect for our people, the product, the process, the purity of the environment.
