Certificate of Trust
We choose our products with purpose, so you can trust in the choices you make for the pets you love.
A Pet Planet Exclusive Program
At Pet Planet, we don’t use the word “TRUST” lightly.
We understand that trust must be earned and then emulated in every activity to keep it.
This philosophy is one of the things that sets Pet Planet apart – we take our customer’s trust in us very seriously and we continue to work very hard to both earn and keep it.
How We Do It
Pet Planet Willow Park
Our Certificate of Trust ensures that every product on our shelves is there because it has met our standards, is trusted, and is safe for your pets. Our nutritional checklist is below. Every consumable product, from food to treats, is evaluated based on this list of questions:
How are ingredients sourced and where do they come from?
What are the main protein and carbohydrate sources and what are their ratios?
What are the fat sources – good fats like salmon or flaxseed oil – or lard and animal fats?
If additives, colourings, or preservatives are added, are they naturally or chemically based?
Do they self-manufacture or are they co-packed by a third party manufacturer? (Below we explain the difference). Have there been recalls, why?
Self-Manufacture vs. Co-Pack
Self-Manufacturing
Self-manufacturing defines a pet food company that sources, manufactures, and produces the food they make. This means that they work directly with growers and producers to obtain the ingredients for their products. Additionally, they distribute their product, thereby controlling quality from sourcing to shelf.
Co-Packing
Co-packing, short for “Contract Packaging or Packager,” defines a pet food company that hires another company to manufacture and/or source ingredients for its brand. Thus, co-packers operate large facilities, producing various brands of cat and dog food daily. Consequently, this allows pet food companies to focus on other business aspects while ensuring efficient production.
The best information is on the packaging of every pet food, whether it’s a dry, canned, raw, dehydrated or freeze-dried diet.
At Pet Planet, we honour the pets that we serve each and every day.
We fully understand the high cost of keeping pets happy and healthy.
Pet Planet promises to help you make the best decisions for your pet. Whether managing a tight budget or splurging on something special, we are here to assist you. Consequently, you can trust us to provide the best options for your pet’s needs.
We are here. Every day.
