Cracking the Code on Shelf Stability: How Happy Howl Keeps Meals Fresh Without Preservatives

Ever wonder how Happy Howl keeps its meals deliciously fresh and shelf-stable for up to two years, all without a single artificial preservative?

The answer lies in our cutting-edge steam and pressure cooking process, meticulously crafted within our USDA-grade kitchens. Here's a peek behind the curtain:

Step 1: Aseptic Packaging – Sealing in Freshness

The journey begins with our ingredients—human-grade goodness sourced from local US farms. Each individual ingredient finds its way into BPA-free, recyclable TetraPak cartons, aseptic environments that keep out contaminants and lock in that mouthwatering freshness our dogs love.

Step 2: Gentle Steam & Pressure Symphony – Preserving Nature's Bounty

Next, our proprietary steam and pressure method takes center stage. This carefully choreographed dance of heat and pressure optimizes nutrient retention and flavor:

• Low and slow is our motto: Contrary to harsh & pulverizing flash-heat processing, our gentle steam bath preserves the goodness of your pup's food. Vitamins, minerals, and all those essential nutrients stay put, ready to nourish your furry friend.

• Pressure makes perfect: A short burst of pressure further stabilizes the meals, extending their shelf life without compromising the delightful textures and aromas.

Step 3: Pressure Stabilization – The Shelf-Stability Secret Weapon

Finally, the pressure chamber works its magic once more, ensuring long-lasting stability and peace of mind. This final step completes the culinary masterpiece, guaranteeing your pup's meals stay fresh, safe, and irresistibly tasty for years to come.
