What is Bare Pets?

Bare Pets is simple, honest, and nutritious pet food. We aim to bring transparency to an industry filled with misleading practices. Our goal is to focus on pet health and well-being. We do this by offering innovative, high-nutrition products. As a modern brand, we empower pet parents. We do this through honest education and by making premium pet care accessible.

How does Bare prioritize sustainability?

We aim to reduce our environmental impact. We do this by using eco-friendly packaging and sourcing responsibly. That way, we can lessen our carbon footprint. We aim to help the planet by making conscious choices. We’re doing this for our furry friends and future generations.

product

What ingredients do you use in your pet food products?

Our pet food uses premium ingredients. We only choose ingredients high in nutrition but few in calories. This means real meat and fresh fruits and veggies. There are no fillers or artificial preservatives, ingredients, or colors. No nasties!

Does Bare contain artificial preservatives, artificial ingredients, or colors?

Never! We’re proud to say that Bare products are free from all the “B.S”. (bad stuff). We believe in providing only the best for your furry family members.

How did you formulate your pet food?

Animal nutritionists with 20+ years of experience in pet food make all our recipes. This is not a veterinary discipline but an animal science discipline. This is practiced in European universities.

Do you have hypoallergenic options?

We are soon launching new recipes for 100% fresh beef kibble and 100% beef wet dog food, as well as hypoallergenic lamb. Looking for something else? Let us know here! Join our mailing list at the footer of www.barepets.com to get early discounts on new products.

Can I feed this adult dog food to my senior dogs?

Our current recipe is suited for adult dogs. We are actively working on a specialty diet specifically for senior dogs, which will be released in the future. Technically, it is safe to feed this to your fur babies, but it is always best to seek your veterinarian’s advice when introducing new foods especially when not targeted for a specific age range that your dog is not a part of.

To help you with that, we have a complete list of our ingredients plus actual % amounts on our website under each product here:  https://www.barepets.com/shop/

Can I feed adult dog food to my puppy?

All of our current recipes are made for adult dogs of all breeds. However, if your dog is a small breed, they can start feeding on adult dog food as early as ten months for specific small breeds. Medium to larger breeds can move to adult dog food at 1 year and older.

If your dog is younger than ten months, our recipes are still safe for your dog to eat. However, we recommend using our food as a mealtime enhancer or topper instead of a complete and balanced meal.

What is the shelf life of Bare products after opening?

All of the dog food in our warehouse is fresh from the manufacturer. We will NEVER sell expired or close-to-expiring dog food.

Once opened, Bare kibble typically has a shelf life of about 4 to 6 weeks if stored properly in an airtight container and kept in a cool, dry place. For the best quality and freshness, it’s recommended to consume the kibble within this timeframe.

For Bare wet food, a properly stored opened pouch should be consumed by your pet within a maximum of 3 days.

How do I transition my dog to Bare food?

To transition your dog to a new food, start by gradually mixing in the new food with their old food. Slowly increase the ratio of new food to old food over 7-10 days until your dog is fully transitioned.

How much is Bare? Do you have trial or sample packs?

Yes! We have sample sizes of all of our recipes available on our store so you can try a smaller size to see if your dog loves it before completely transitioning them over to our healthier options.

Our sample packs are typically all available for less than PHP 300. To find out more details, please check out these useful links for our full size prices:

What animal-based ingredients are used in Bare pet food?

Many different parts of the animal are used in pet food. These are often parts that might not sound appealing to pet parents but are enjoyed by our pets. Fo instance – kidneys, spleen, lungs, pig’s trotters, udders, and parts of fish left after the processing – are commonly used in pet food.

These ingredients provide an excellent source of protein, essential amino acids, and other valuable nutrients. The priority of our pet food manufacturer is to source nutritionally valuable ingredients to produce high-quality, nutritionally balanced, and palatable pet food.

Why do you use the term “dehydrated” or “protein” in your recipes when referring to a protein such as chicken, beef, or lamb?

Is it to hide ingredients? No, the term comes from the related
labeling legislation the pet food industry must comply with.
It doesn’t matter if you use the terms “dried pork protein” or “dehydrated chicken” or list all the animal-derived ingredients separately (chicken meal, beef, liver, etc.) because all the ingredients are subject to the same strict international rules for quality and safety.

We simply use this term in special cases to lessen the length of our ingredient list and to help protect the IP of our exact recipe from competitors looking to create a premium yet affordable dog food like ours.

See the question “What are the common sources of protein apart from the fresh meat products from animals?“ for a more detailed answer to where the ingredients come from.

What are the common sources of protein apart from the fresh meat products from animals?

Any ingredients we have come directly from butchered animals hunted animals (after veterinary inspection), fish, and seafood (from controlled sources).

To ensure the quality and safety of pet food products, the EU sets out strict rules governing the use of ingredients for all our kibble recipes. Our pet food uses surplus products from the human food chain. Animal proteins must come from animals that have been slaughtered under veterinary supervision or controlled fish or seafood and meet the very high standards of EU legislation.

safety

How do you ensure the safety of your pet food products?

We care a lot about pet safety. Our pet food goes through strict quality checks. This includes careful testing at every step of the manufacturing process. All our products are AAFCO-approved. They meet or go beyond safety standards.

Where are Bare Pets dog food products manufactured?

Our dog food is proudly made in Europe and Thailand, where we follow strict quality control standards. Our manufacturing partners prioritize pet health just as much as we do. When you buy Bare, you can trust that your pet’s food is made with great care and attention.

How are your ingredients sourced?

We choose only the best ingredients. We work with trusted suppliers who care about honesty and sustainability, just like we do. Our ingredients are carefully picked to give your pet the important nutrition they need. They are made for a healthy and balanced diet.

What is AAFCO? Does Bare Pets meet their guidelines?

AAFCO stands for the Association of American Feed Control Officials. They set rules and guidelines for making pet food. At Bare Pets, we’re proud that our products meet or exceed AAFCO guidelines. This means our pet food is balanced, giving pets the essential nutrients they need to stay healthy and thrive.

Are your pet food products FDA-approved?

The FDA doesn’t approve individual pet foods. We strictly meet the local requirements set by the Bureau of Animal Industries. This is reflected in our manufacturing process. This ensures our pet food is made to the highest standards of safety and quality. 

feeding

How do I determine the right portion size for my pet?

The right serving size for your pet depends on certain factors. This includes your pet’s age, weight, activity level, and health. You can find general feeding guidelines on our packaging and website. For the best advice, talk to your veterinarian. You can use our free feeding calculator to see how much food your pet needs and how long our products will last.

Do you have any feeding tips?

Feeding your pet is a special time to bond and nourish them. Here are a few tips:

  1. Establish a regular feeding schedule
  2. Provide fresh water at all times
  3. Monitor portion sizes
  4. Observe your pet’s behavior and body condition.

Remember, every pet is unique, so it’s important to consult with your veterinarian for personalized feeding advice.
