About Our Formulas
Every VF Complete® Formula is made with only the highest-quality ingredients sourced from right here in the USA. These ingredients, when combined, deliver superior animal nutrition. VF Complete pet foods contain no corn, no artificial colors and no preservatives. Every formula is made with a precise blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat, chelated minerals for optimum nutrient absorption and enriched with vitamins C, E and A. In addition, all of our dog formulas contain glucosamine and chondroitin to help maintain proper joint and cartilage function.
About Our Commitment to Safety
At VF Complete®, our commitment to safety surpasses anything in the marketplace today. We understand how important it is to not only earn but also keep the trust of the pet parents who expect nothing but the best from their pet food provider. It’s how we’ve done business for the past 75 years and how we intend to do business for the next 75 years and beyond.
In fact, we are the first pet food manufacturing company in the United States to receive a Facilities Food Safety audit rating of "Excellent" from the Safe Quality Foods (SQF) Level II International auditing standard in accordance with the Global Food Safety Initiative.

It's Not Safe Until We Say It's Safe
Because we are so committed to pet food safety we have instituted The Ainsworth Pet Nutrition Triple Check System. This system allows us to guarantee the safety of our products from the moment we purchase ingredients to the time we ship our products out the door. The Ainsworth Pet Nutrition Triple Check System is just one of the many fundamental things we do every day to ensure we meet our customers’ expectations of quality and safety.
Check One:
Our Commitment to Ingredient Safety
Check Two: Ensuring Product Accuracy
Check Three: Our 48 Hour Hold Before Release
Check One: Our Commitment to Ingredient Safety
Check one begins with our long-term relationships with our local and domestic suppliers. Our family’s team of sourcing experts have carefully chosen each and every one of these suppliers because, like us, they take pride in ensuring their ingredients are not only of the highest quality, but also safe for your pet’s overall health and well-being.
Check Two: Ensuring Product Accuracy
Check Two works across our entire operational system to ensure accuracy. Our team of experienced and dedicated employees continuously monitors and verifies every step of the production process to ensure precise nutrient and ingredient levels. In addition, our internal laboratory scientists test, analyze and monitor the production process to ensure no harmful toxins or contaminates are introduced from unknown or unanticipated sources. They also verify our Guaranteed Analysis to ensure the same consistency, high-quality and nutrition level exist in each and every bag.
Check Three: Our 48 Hour Hold Before Release
Check Three is the final step we take before allowing any food to leave our facilities. Every product is held in our warehouse for 48 hours until safety testing is complete. This step confirms that there is no salmonella present and that nutritional values are accurate in accordance to regulatory and formula standards.
