Where is Kibbles 'n Bits made?

When was Kibbles 'n Bits founded?

Is Kibbles 'n Bits WSAVA-aligned?

Kibbles 'n Bits is not on our WSAVA-aligned shortlist. That doesn't automatically mean the food is poor quality — many strong brands haven't pursued WSAVA recognition — but it means we lack independent confirmation of feeding-trial validation and on-staff veterinary nutritionist staffing.

Has Kibbles 'n Bits ever been recalled?

No Kibbles 'n Bits products match any FDA recall in our tracked feed. Two caveats worth stating plainly: our feed covers FDA recall notices from late 2025 onward, so a recall older than that would not appear here; and brand matching is deliberately conservative, so a recall naming a parent company or a co-manufacturer rather than Kibbles 'n Bits itself may not be linked. For a definitive answer, check the FDA's own recall database.
