How we make a chew.

Single-ingredient sourcing means fewer steps, fewer fillers, and a smaller footprint per chew. Here's what that actually looks like end to end.

sourcing

USDA-only proteins

Every protein in the navan lineup is sourced from USDA-inspected processors within the contiguous US. No imports. Suppliers audited annually for animal welfare and food-safety practices. We publish the audit summary in our annual transparency report.

processing

Slow-dehydration, low energy

We never extrude. Slow-dehydration uses roughly 40% less energy per finished pound than extrusion and preserves the nutrient density and chew texture that does the dental work. Single-ingredient also means no synthetic additives, binders, or flavor sprays.

packaging

Recyclable, increasingly

Outer mailers: 100% post-consumer recycled paperboard. Inner bags: currently a multi-layer barrier film that's recyclable through TerraCycle's drop-off network. Mono-material compostable bag is in pilot testing for the 3-month plan starting Q4 2026.

shipping

Carbon-offset across the board

Every navan order ships carbon-offset through verified-emissions-reductions credits at no cost to you. We work with carbon removal projects in the US (forest restoration in Oregon, soil sequestration in Iowa) instead of broad portfolio offsets.
