Quality and Safety
At Companion Pets, everything begins with a simple belief. Your dog deserves products held to the same standard you would expect for yourself. That belief guides every step of how we source, test, and craft our chews.
Below is a transparent look at the quality and safety practices behind our formulas, including a full breakdown of our third party lab report.
Third Party Lab Tested
Every production run of Companion chews is independently third party tested at Midwest Laboratories, one of the most respected analytical labs in the United States. These tests screen for heavy metals, microbial activity, mold, yeast, and aflatoxins. Our latest results came back exceptionally clean in all categories.
We publish this information because your trust matters. You deserve to see exactly what goes into your dog's wellness.
Breakdown of Our Lab Report
Our latest third party lab test was completed by Midwest Laboratories. These are the key areas they evaluate and what our results mean for your dog.
Heavy Metals
Heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury occur naturally in soil and plants. Responsible pet brands test to ensure levels stay well within safe limits.
Our results:
All heavy metals were extremely low. Lead, cadmium, and mercury were below detectable levels. These results confirm that our ingredients are clean and responsibly sourced.
Microbial Safety
Labs test for microbes that can appear in food products, such as bacteria, mold, and yeast.
Our results:
Aerobic plate count was low, and coliform levels were below detectable limits. Mold and yeast were also below detectable limits. Most importantly, Salmonella was not detected. This confirms that our chews are produced in a safe and clean environment.
Aflatoxins
Aflatoxins are natural toxins that can occur in certain crops. They are one of the most important safety markers in pet nutrition testing.
Our results:
Aflatoxins were not detected in any form. This is the highest possible safety outcome.
Identity and Integrity
Midwest Laboratories verifies that the sample they receive is consistent and stable and that it matches the intended formula.
Our results:
All values were within normal ranges, with no irregularities noted by the lab. The product passed all standard quality checks.
What This Means for Your Dog
The lab report confirms that Companion chews meet strict safety expectations. The formula tested clean for pathogens, mold, yeast, and aflatoxins and showed extremely low levels of naturally occurring heavy metals. These results reflect the level of care and testing we bring to every batch we produce.
Clean Ingredients with Real Purpose
We choose each ingredient with intention. No fillers. No artificial nonsense. Only compounds that are widely used to support canine wellness.
Our ingredients are sourced from vetted suppliers who meet strict quality standards. Every supplier must provide documentation for identity, purity, and safety before we consider adding their material to a formula.
Vet Reviewed
A licensed veterinarian has reviewed our formula and our approach to quality and safety. Their focus is on ingredient integrity, responsible formulation, and the reliability of our manufacturing practices. Their guidance helps us maintain the standards we set for ourselves from day one.
Manufactured in a Facility You Can Trust
Companion chews are produced in a facility that follows current Good Manufacturing Practices. Each batch is checked for consistency and quality before it leaves the line. Every chew you give your dog comes from a process built on accountability and care.
Transparent From Start to Finish
We believe pet owners deserve clarity. This is why we take the extra step to test our products, publish our results, and give you full access to how we operate. You should always know what you are giving your dog and why it is safe.

We built Companion Pets for dogs we love. Every decision we make reflects that responsibility. From clean ingredients to third party testing to strict quality control, our goal is simple. Deliver products that support your dog's wellness and earn your trust every day.
