K-9 Kraving - About Us
"Your food saved my dog's life! After a lengthy course of antibiotics, my English Mastiff lost her appetite and became anemic. I tried to interest her with many different brands of food and K-9 Kraving was the only one she would eat!

OUR COMPANY, OUR BRAND

Boesl Packing CO - K-9 Kraving facilityK-9 Kraving, the industry’s first and only USDA Certified pet food, is a raw diet dog food manufactured by Boesl Packing Company, Inc. A family owned and operated company since 1932, Boesl originally produced hot dogs and smoked meats. Today, we still produce one of the top five hot dog brands in the Baltimore-Washington area. Boesl is comprised of 21,000-square feet of dedicated manufacturing, on-site packaging, industrial refrigeration, freezing and dry storage space. In 2000, we applied our knowledge of producing human food to create a consistently safe and optimally healthy raw diet dog food; in the process, we became the first pet food manufacturer to receive USDA Certification nationwide.

USDA Certification means the United States Department of Agriculture formally confirms the integrity of K-9 Kraving brand products as genuine and guarantees a higher standard. During production, a USDA agent is present—inspecting every ingredient and their sources, ensuring equipment, water, food handling and employees maintain strict sanitation codes. As a result, K-9 Kraving carries the distinctive USDA Certified seal. (A-17095)

100% USDA certified, inspected and approved, K-9 Kraving products are manufactured in our state-of-the-art processing facility in Baltimore, Maryland using only human grade and USDA inspected ingredients born, bred, and raised within the United States.

Boesl manufactures with a difference, providing an optimally safe raw diet dog food:
  • Proven high-quality ingredients are stored at 8-degrees Fahrenheit on-site
  • Each and every 250-pound batch of K-9 Kraving raw diet dog food produced is carefully and accurately measured for continuity in quality, nutritional value and texture.
  • We use a cold-manufacturing method; all food components consistently remain below 28-degrees Fahrenheit throughout the entire production and packaging process. Our team works diligently in a temperature controlled production area to avoid the onset of harmful bacteria.
  • Only commercial grade stainless steel equipment is used to process and package frozen muscle meat, organ meat, ground bone and vegetables with our vitamin and mineral mix. To prevent cross-contamination, all equipment is sanitized daily and between producing varying protein formulas.
  • Each complete batch of K-9 Kraving is transferred for immediate packaging. K-9 Kraving is packaged into airtight chubs or vacuum packed patties, providing fresh tasting food for your canine companion.
