Hare Today Gone Tomorrow (HTGT) began in 1999 as a small rabbit farm. Ashlee Luke is sole owner of the company.
The company’s manufacturing facility is in Springboro, PA. It’s located on 12 acres of land between family farms and local providers. The company sells its products via the company website.
The company provides whole prey foods. These include rabbits, chickens, and guinea pigs. They also provide ground and packaged proteins. These are bone in or boneless. They include alpaca, beef, bison, chicken, duck, elk, goose, sheep, lamb, turkey, and venison. They also make freeze dried ground alpaca, rabbit, and goat bones. They make freeze dried ground chicken, duck, rabbit, and turkey too. They use an 80% meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ ratio.
The company also produces pet treats, toys, bedding and nutritional supplements.
Hare Today makes two lines of dog food. Each gets a score of 10/10 for ingredient quality and safety. They are low-risk dog foods by our criteria.
Hare Today has not tested its foods in food trials. The trials address AAFCO nutrient levels. AAFCO is a private organization. It doesn’t regulate, test, approve, or certify pet food. Compliance isn’t a requirement. Hare Today labels its foods “for supplemental or intermittent feeding only.” It’s licensed and inspected through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. It’s regulated by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) as a retail only manufacturer.
The line of Raw Meat/Bone/Organ foods has 16 recipes with average protein of 60%. It has negligible carbohydrates. It is a prey model product made of muscle meat, bones, and organs. It is available in single proteins. Animals include alpaca, beef, goat, goose, mutton, rabbit and cavies. Poultry products are chicken, duck, goose, quail and turkey.
The Freeze-Dried line has 4 recipes with average protein of 48% and average carbohydrates of 2%.
Hare Today focuses on sourcing animals that are humanely treated. It doesn’t offer third party certifications, such as Global Animal Partnerships (GAP). The company maintains standards that encourage grass feeding and non-GMO feeding. But, non-GMO is not required. Breeders sign an annual certification that they’re meeting or exceeding company requirements. The company also conducts home visits of its source farms.
Wherever possible the company sources animals from nearby family farms. The company provides a detailed list of source farms on its website. All poultry and exotics are USDA inspected. Fish is USDA and/or FDA inspected. Local farmers provide pork, llama, elk, sheep, alpaca, beef, goose, goat and rabbits. They are mainly from Amish farms. They’re processed in a licensed state facility. All grinding, cutting and packaging is done onsite in the company’s own facility.
Hare Today grinds its meat and bones in a frozen state. It portions them into chub bags, and holds them in a freezer at a temperature of 0 degrees F or lower. Its freeze-dried products are made through a low-temperature process. It involves freezing the product, and lowering pressure. Ice is removed by sublimation. The company does not use HPP. It also doesn’t use irradiation, cooking, burning, or rendering in its processes.
Hare Today does not provide the omega-6:omega-3 ratio. While this is true of most companies, it’s a concern because AAFCO allows a very inflammatory ratio of 30:1.
Overall, this is a high ranking raw dog food company with many single protein options.
