About

At 18 Below, we’re smart, hard-working, loyal and eager to please. So basically, we’re the working dog of the pet food industry. Our job is to make the best, safest, tastiest freeze-dried pet foods and treats for quality-minded pet brands and their customers. And we do it for a fair price.

Our Products

18 Below is highly selective about what we put in our products, and with good reason: You get out what you put in. Because we treat our pets more like people, we only use USDA-inspected raw material intended to supply the human food chain. It’s not required, but it’s important to us.

Our Processes & Capabilities

With and for our partners, we develop custom freeze-dried pet food and treat recipes that align with their brands. We bring a wealth of experience to the table, both with in-house and independent industry experts. We collaborate with a nutritional services company to ensure proper nutrition along with great taste. We deliver consistently made goods to our customers’ facilities or packaging companies. We can facilitate new packaging production. We offer raw material processing/sourcing. We take phone calls even on Sundays.

Commitment to Quality

Around here, quality is absolutely job #1. Consequently, attention to detail is one of our strong suits. From requiring specific raw material shipping practices (to control temperature and increase food safety), to quality assurance testing before, during and after production, our partners have the utmost confidence in Below 18.

That’s just how we were born and bred.
