Discover our initial selection of specialized cat diets designed to minimize food allergies and optimize digestive health.
France possesses one of the most sophisticated pet populations in Europe. According to recent demographic surveys, over half of French households own at least one companion animal. Along with this high pet ownership rate comes an acute awareness of feline and canine health. French pet owners are moving rapidly toward "pet humanization," demanding food-grade ingredients and specialized therapeutic diets.
For brands targeting the French market—from independent veterinary networks to supermarket chains—securing a reliable supply chain that meets FEDIAF (European Pet Food Industry Federation) requirements is a key priority. Our manufacturing platform integrates strict grain-free, mono-protein, and hydrolyzed formula standards to guarantee complete digestibility and minimize systemic inflammatory responses.
B2B buyers, distributors, and private labels require more than just recipes; they need certified supply resilience, regulatory assistance, and scalability.
Every batch of wet and freeze-dried pet food is designed to conform to French DGCCRF and EU veterinary health specifications, ensuring flawless customs clearance.
Custom OEM and ODM services allow the development of single-source novel proteins (such as rabbit, cod, goat milk, and hydrolyzed chicken) tailored to veterinary specs.
Full batch tracking from raw material delivery through thermal processing to the final pouch, ensuring that zero cross-contamination occurs.

Our hypoallergenic solutions are tailored to meet specific commercial scenarios within France’s high-margin pet industry:
These formulations help brands stand out in a crowded market by offering real solutions to pet allergies.
Food allergies in cats typically manifest as severe skin pruritus, fur loss, and digestive distress (diarrhea and vomiting). The main culprits are large glycoproteins present in beef, dairy, and wheat.
Our formulas solve this by utilizing hydrolyzed protein technology (breaking down proteins below 10,000 Daltons so the immune system does not detect them) or selecting novel single proteins that the pet has never eaten before. By coupling this with high moisture (78-82%), we also protect feline urinary health—a critical consideration for French vets.
