    added to pet food need to be the same quality as those added
    to human food. Natural colors, Naturbrown® ingredients, and
    caramel colors, as well as custom color blends, create appetizing
    hues to replace FD&C colors or iron oxides for pet foods - from
    dry extruded kibbles to gravies to baked treats.

    Whether you’d like a meaty red, seasoned yellow, or beefy brown,


    you’ll get the best, most cost-effective color so consumers can
    feel good about what they feed their pets.
