Our plant is fully committed to a stringent and scheduled set of quality and performance standards. All ingredients brought to the plant undergo careful inspection and testing and can only enter the plant once approved. Quality and safety assurances are continued throughout our food’s cooking process and packaging, helping safeguard against potential cross-contamination. TLC’s plants are USDA, FDA, and CFIA certified, with government-certified in-house laboratories, testing for vomitoxin, aflatoxin, and Enterobacteriaceae, along with NIR (Near Infrared) confirmation of nutritional integrity.

All TLC Pet Food has been formulated with your pet’s ancestral diet in mind. TLC uses high-quality meat-based protein sources like Atlantic Salmon, farm fresh chicken and New Zealand lamb. You can learn more about the ingredients used in TLC formulas by visiting our Ingredients Glossary.

9. Are any of the ingredients used In TLC sourced from China?

NO. Every food ingredient used in TLC Pet Food is carefully chosen from trusted sources and farms. Most of our ingredients are sourced in Canada and the U.S. except for our quality lamb ingredients, arriving from New Zealand, chosen for its superior quality, and Atlantic Salmon, sourced from sustainable fisheries out of Norway.
