Although Hi-Tek manufactures many canine and feline rations for a variety of consumer needs, each product is manufactured separately from all others. The common thread that runs through all Hi-Tek products is our dedication to the highest standards in quality food manufacturing. Hi-Tek is regularly audited by the American Institute of Baking (AIB) whose standards of quality are among the world's most rigorous and demanding.

Hi-Tek's laboratories, quality assurance measures, and steps that exceed even the most stringent manufacturing requirements such as detection for metal both during the manufacturing process and after bagging, are among the finest in the world, further assuring our customers that the Hi-Tek foods they purchase for their dogs and cats, regardless of the price point, are among the very best it is possible to purchase.

For decades, Hi-Tek has been recognized as among the highest quality providers of value-driven dog and cat foods for the farm, ranch and feed store category. This segment is an important and ever-growing portion of our business. Hi-Tek's super premium and holistic foods are rapidly developing a reputation for nutritional innovation in meeting the high end needs of the performance, show, working and companion animal. Sold through independent pet stores by some of the nation's most renowned regional distributors, Hi-Tek Rations products are never to be found in the big box or chain retailer. The private label portion of the Hi-Tek business continues to grow as Hi-Tek's innovation helps retail groceries both here and abroad develop winning products that expand credibility and enhance value-driven sales.

If you are a consumer, we invite you to learn about our products and to visit one of the pet stores, or feed , farm, and ranch retailers nearest you.

If you are a retailer, we invite you to contact us for the name(s) of the quality distributors serving your region who may assist you in stocking any of the Hi-Tek products.

If you are a distributor, we welcome your interest in our company and its products and invite you to share your needs so that we might determine a fit between Hi-Tek Rations and the region(s) you serve.

Ethoxyquin is a quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative. It is commonly used as a preservative in pet foods to prevent the rancidification of fats. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has found a verifiable connection between ethoxyquin and buildup of protoporphyrin IX in the liver, as well as elevations in liver-related enzymes in some animals. There are, to date, no known health consequences from these effects. In 1997, the Center for Veterinary Medicine asked pet food manufacturers to voluntarily limit ethoxyquin levels to 75 ppm until further evidence is reported.

Hi-Tek Rations does not use ethoxyquin in any application of its manufacturing or ingredient sourcing process and does not accept ingredient products that have been exposed to or treated with ethoxyquin. Hi-Tek Rations uses only mixed tocopherols as antioxidants to retard oxidation of fats and to preserve our finished products. Further, no BHT is used in our manufacturing or sourcing process due to the compound's linkage to child hyperactivity and to cancer.

The recent recalls of pet food from some manufacturers in our industry are both unfortunate and unsettling. While we sympathize with those manufacturers undergoing recalls, we are proud to assert that no Hi-Tek products have been or are subject to recall. You can feed all Hi-Tek products with confidence and with the assurance that they are produced with the ultimate standards of food safety and product quality.
