Pet treat business advice

[Courteney Cole]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me, I’m starting out a pet treat business and wondering how I go about getting my pet treats tested and APHA (defra) approved and how I find out the analytical constituents and best before date etc of the products. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Everything I look up isn’t clear, thanks.

Hi, did you manage to find out any information? I’m in the same position and can’t find out how where to get the Analytical constituents info from? My treats contain no animal by products but seems like I still need to get them tested to determine this information! It’s not very clear is it

A quick google brought up lots of results, this was the top one. I am not recommending them, just saying they are easy to find...
