Global Pet Nutrition Centre

Our 180-acre Pet Nutrition Centre is where we care for approximately 450 dogs and 450 cats whose sole responsibility is to eat pet food.

Everything we do in the PNC is to ensure we have the right nutrient level in each and every one of our products, including:

 

  • Analysing ingredients to make sure they meet our high quality standards.
  • Determining how much pressure is needed to crush a kibble and ensure that kibble density and consistency are appropriate for each lifestage.
  • Analysing gas output from the pets in the PNC. We want our foods to be as pleasant going out as they are going in.
  • Analysing the smell, taste and feel of our foods to make sure pets will love it.

 

Finally, we are using cutting edge techniques to research and utilise the connection between nutrients and gene expression.
