When it comes to choosing treats for your dog, the labels can be confusing. Words like “natural,” “premium,” or “gourmet” sound appealing, but they don’t always guarantee quality. That’s where human-grade makes all the difference. Unlike the vague marketing terms you often see in the pet food aisle, “human-grade” has a very real meaning rooted in strict standards for safety, sourcing, and nutrition.
At Zora’s Best, our 100% Human-Grade Beef Liver Treats are more than just another snack for your pup—they’re a commitment to giving dogs the same quality of food we’d want for ourselves. Let’s break down what that means.
What Does “Human-Grade” Actually Mean?
For a pet product to be labeled human-grade, every step of its production—from sourcing to processing to packaging—must meet the same standards required for food made for people. That means:
- Ingredients come from the same supply chain as food destined for human consumption.
- Facilities are inspected and approved to handle human food.
- Strict safety and quality guidelines are followed from start to finish.
In other words, if it’s human-grade, you could technically eat it yourself (though we’ll let your dog take the first bite!).
The Problem with Feed-Grade Standards
The majority of pet food and treats on the market are classified as feed-grade. This means:
- Ingredients may include by-products, fillers, or lower-quality cuts that don’t meet human consumption standards.
- Facilities don’t need to follow the same safety protocols required in human food production.
- Labels can be misleading—“natural” doesn’t always mean free from additives or preservatives.
While feed-grade treats are considered safe for pets, they don’t offer the same guarantee of quality, transparency, or nutrition that human-grade treats do.
Why Human-Grade Matters for Your Dog
Dogs deserve better than questionable fillers or by-products. By choosing human-grade treats like Zora’s Best 100% Beef Liver, you’re giving your pup:
- Superior nutrition: Beef liver is naturally rich in protein, iron, vitamin A, and B vitamins.
- Digestive safety: Fewer processing steps mean less risk of hidden additives or contaminants.
- Transparency and trust: You know exactly what’s in the bag—just one ingredient.
