Quality Assurance — Safety, Tested & Recommended

Your dog's health is our top priority. Every bag of Top Dog, Krunshi, and Tommy Dog Meal is manufactured to the highest standards — right here in Kenya.

Our Quality Standards

We combine intensive market research with world-class industrial design and engineering to create innovative, safe, and nutritious dog food. Every batch goes through the following quality processes before it leaves our facility.

  • 1
    Aflatoxin & Mycotoxin Testing — all grain-based ingredients are tested for mycotoxins and aflatoxins before use. Kenya's climate makes this a critical safety step, and we take it seriously on every batch.
  • 2
    Mycotoxin Stabilisers — we add mycotoxin stabilisers directly into our formulas as an extra layer of protection, ensuring safety throughout the product's shelf life even in warm or humid storage conditions.
  • 3
    Digestibility Enhancement — our formulas include scientifically selected digestibility enhancers that ensure your dog absorbs the nutrients they need, rather than passing them through.
  • 4
    Nutritional Formulation Review — our recipes are developed and regularly reviewed using current nutritional science to meet the dietary requirements of dogs at every life stage — puppies, adults, and senior dogs.
  • 5
    GMO-Free Puppy Range — Top Dog Puppy (Rice & Chicken and Rice & Fish) are produced using non-GMO ingredients, giving parents of young dogs greater peace of mind.
  • 6
    Packaging Integrity — our food is packed in properly designed heavy-duty bags that are heat-sealed to be airtight and leak-proof, protecting the product from spillage, contamination, and damage during handling, transportation, and storage.

Storage Guidelines

Proper storage protects the nutritional quality and safety of your dog's food. Follow these simple best practice steps for Top Dog brands storage after every purchase.

  • 1
    Use Airtight Containers Store dog food in airtight containers to prevent exposure to air, moisture, and pests. Use food-grade plastic containers with tight-fitting lids as provided.
  • 2
    Keep It Cool and Dry Store dog food in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The optimal storage temperature is between 50°F and 70°F (10°C and 21°C). High humidity can lead to mold growth, so avoid damp areas like basements.

  • 6
    Regular Container Hygiene To maintain and sustain a high level of hygiene, regularly clean and dry the airtight container especially when loading a fresh consignment.
  • 7
    Clean Feeding Utensils Top Dog brands should be served in clean, dry utensils.
