G.A.P.’s Animal Welfare Certified food labeling program also means that animals are raised without the use of antibiotics, added hormones, or animal by-products. The higher the number, the more the animal’s environment mimics its natural environment.
Meet Shifty, G.A.P. team member Shannon's boxer/hound mix. Adorable, right? Shifty's favorite things include swimming and chasing living things of all shapes and sizes: ducks, squirrels, geese, deer, muskrats, and bumblebees. In just six short years of life, Shifty has acquired a taste for the finer things in life and prefers mild brie. (Thank you very much.) May we suggest some fig jam and G.A.P. Certified lamb to go with that? 😆

Time to meet Charles, G.A.P. team member Kate's Jack Russell Terrier. When this confident 14-year-old isn't sleeping, he's chasing squirrels and keeping his mom safe. Charles may just have nine lives - he already spent one of them when he survived being run over by a horse. Yikes! Any other feisty doggos out there? Tag us in your pics.

Meet Jedi, team member Chrissy's German Shepherd / Beagle mix. Just over one year old, this spoiled watchdog enjoys snacking on remote controls and ridding the patio of evil insects. He loves a ride in the car, people, other dogs, and G.A.P. Animal Welfare Certified @freshpet dog food. This fearless pup even took on a snake to protect his humans. That's love. 💙

It's National Dog Week! Time to schedule some extra walks and snuggles with your best furry friend(s). To celebrate, we're switching up our Insta feed to introduce our G.A.P. team pets to you.
Up first is Gil, team member Kate's 8-year-old border collie. This chill guy likes to play with any kind of ball, frisbee, toy etc. as long as it can be thrown and fetched. He's become an expert swimmer since moving to Texas... oh don't all of us Texans need a body of water in the summer heat?!
We'd love to meet your pup too! Please add one here or tag us with your photos. You can also check out our new pet page celebrating our awesome G.A.P. Animal Welfare Certified pet brands. Happy Dog Week!

For the past week we have been thinking of the people, the land, and the animals affected by the devastating wildfires across California and Oregon. Special thoughts for the continued safety of our ranching partners there. Thank you to the firefighters for working so tirelessly.
As a follow-up to our announcement of the broiler chicken study recently being completed, G.A.P. is publishing a series of blogs to help frame the issue and share insights from the research.
In order to live up to our mission of helping change the way our food is raised, we believe that recommendations developed in collaboration with multiple stakeholders and supported by science is the key to continued, sustainable change.
Check out our first installment "Why should you care about broiler chicken welfare?" and stay tuned for more posts as we forge a new path for the modern day broiler.

Since your kids are at home, how about preparing a list of meals they can make? We love this octo-dog idea from G.A.P. Animal Welfare Certified partner @feltmansconeyisland hot dogs.
Get the recipe here: https://www.feltmansofconeyisland.com/blogs/recipes/feltmans-octo-dogs-recipe

Did you know? Farmers and ranchers have to meet more than 100 animal welfare standards just to receive G.A.P.'s base level (Step 1) certification. Standards like more space, an enriched environment with deep bedding, air quality requirements, and absolutely NO crates or confinements.
When you purchase products with the G.A.P. Animal Welfare Certified label, you are voting with your dollars for better animal welfare practices.
Year over year, G.A.P. is working to change the way our food is raised. Thanks for helping us #MakeitGAP.
