Yes, this product is legitimately certified as pet food! It's government approved for pet food only!
Why? Well, sadly there's no available human certification for raw dairy products like yogurt. Gee, if we could get our raw yogurt certified for humans, we sure would! For now, we make it with our raw milk (which is certified for humans in Pennsylvania), using the same process our team makes it for their human family at home.
Plus -- raw yogurt can not only be a great addition to your diet but your pet's diet, too! Your cats & dogs will love licking our yogurt on its own in a bowl. You can add a dollop on top of or mix it into their regular raw meat, wet food, or kibble. Or, take it up a notch and provide a cooling treat in the warmer months. Make frozen yogurt or smear yogurt straight onto a feeding mat and then freeze it.
*Dairy shouldn't be a staple food for cats and dogs. Being carnivores (or nearly carnivores), raw meat is their essential food. Use dairy as a treat or mix in with their other food for a limited period. It's a great source of moisture and probiotics!

Our raw yogurt should last about 2 weeks in the fridge after you receive it. Every jar comes with a best by date on the lid to help guide you. But, of course, once it's opened there are so many variables that can affect shelf life (contaminants getting in, etc).
We do NOT recommend freezing. It will become clumpy when thawed, which removes that lovely creamy consistency.

Raw yogurt is perfect for adding nutrients into a meal, snack or desserts!
Mix raw yogurt with fresh dill, parsley, chopped cucumber for a delicious tzatziki sauce!
Make a delicious protein packed fruit & raw yogurt bowl. Top with some raw honey and bee pollen for an extra special breakfast or snack!

What are your milk safety standards?
Milk safety is a top priority. Although it's not required for raw pet milk, Miller's Bio Farm is certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for raw milk production and bottling for humans in PA. We also go above and beyond what's "required" for that certification by testing every batch of milk on site for general bacteria counts.
What does the "best by" date mean exactly?
The best by date is an estimate for when the yogurt will likely become too sour to palate. It may start souring before that, but we're kinda guaranteeing it won't be too terribly sour before that date.
What breed are your cows?
Our small herds are 80% Jersey and 20% Jersey crosses Jersey/Guernsey, Jersey/Brown Swiss, Jersey/Holstein, etc.
How do you know with certainty that the cows produce A2/A2 milk?
We do a genetic test via hair sample on each of our cows. The results tell us if a cow produce A1/A1, A1/A2, or A2/A2 milk. All of our cows are A2/A2 and produce milk with 100% A2 beta-casein protein.

Our raw yogurt is made simply in an old fashioned way. Here's how we do it:
1. The cows are milked using old fashioned pneumatic milkers.
2. The milk is poured into the bulk tank to cool down quickly.
3. The milk is heated to around 100F and yogurt culture is added. Light heating is necessary to create a good environment for the culture to grow. Keep in mind that milk comes out of a cow around 101F, and all of the wonderful properties of raw milk are maintained under 110F. 4. The cultured milk is put in our culturing room overnight, for about 12 hours. The culturing room is kept around 101F. 5. Once cultured, the yogurt is cooled and bottled.

The culture is a freeze dried culture that we buy in.
