Every stage of our manufacturing process — from raw material intake to final delivery — is handled with the highest level of care and attention.

Ingredients

Where Quality Begins

At Mackle Petfoods, we’ve been working alongside vets and specialist animal nutritionists for over 50 years to develop recipes that deliver the essential nutrition pets need — with the delicious taste they love.

In addition to our long-standing partnerships, we also work closely with our in-house nutritionist and product development department, who plays a key role in guiding innovation and ensuring every recipe meets the highest standards of pet health and wellbeing.

Our Pet Food Range

Naturally Nutritious, Deliciously Enjoyed

We specialise in producing high-quality wet cat and dog food in cans, plastic trays, and pouches.

Our recipes are:

  • Made with locally sourced, fully traceable meats where possible.
  • Free from artificial colours, flavours, and soya.
  • Developed by our in-house nutritionist and NPD team to ensure optimal nutrition.

Each recipe is a complete meal, scientifically formulated to provide all the essential nutrients pets need to stay healthy. We tailor our formulations to suit different life stages, based on research to deliver benefits such as good digestion, healthy skin, and a shiny coat.

With a focus on taste, texture, and aroma, our foods offer a healthy balance of protein, natural oils, and essential nutrients to support overall pet wellbeing.

Palatability

Taste Pets Love, Nutrition Owners Trust

Palatability is a key priority in our product development — especially for selective eaters like cats. We focus on:

  • Appealing smell, taste, and texture.
  • Using natural, meaty ingredients.
  • Avoiding artificial additives.

The result? A naturally appetising meal that pets enjoy and that pet parents feel confident serving.

Quality Management

Built on Safety and Precision

We operate under a robust Quality Management System, based on a HACCP Food Safety Plan. This structured framework of policies, processes, and procedures ensures we consistently meet both customer and regulatory requirements for food safety.

Key practices include:

  • Monitoring every stage from raw ingredient intake to final packaging.
  • A positive release system — no product leaves until all checks are passed.
  • Independent annual audits to challenge and verify our standards.

We are proud to have achieved the highest BRCGS grade of AA+, reflecting our commitment to industry-leading safety and quality standards.
