Australian Pet Foods
Australian Pet Products (APP) is a privately owned pet food company in Melbourne, Australia and is a manufacturer and distributor of premium natural pet treats for the Australian domestic market, as well as the export market. APPÌs business has been in operation for more than 15 years. In fact, APP is one of the pioneers in Australia
for slow-drying pet treats.
APPÌs facility is a purpose-built export manufacturing facility that specializes in dried pet treats. All raw materials sourced for manufacture are purchased from government approved and licensed human consumption meat processing facilities. The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) license APPÌs processing factory for export to the U.S. and Europe, as well as all Asian countries.
APP manufactures a vast range of products utilizing slow-drying techniques to ensure the highest quality. Their technology maintains that all the nutritious qualities of the fresh meat and bone remain in the product. APP does not oven-cook their products at high temperatures that can cause splintering of the bones. Nor do they add any artificial colors or additives to the products.
APP pet treats provide the perfect supplement for your pets diet. These treats come in a variety of sizes and shapes designed to keep your pet happy and amused for hours. The protein and calcium of APP treats is essential for a healthy, happy pet; and the real-meat flavor will make your pet love you even more!
All products are subjected to a minimum heat treatment of 68 degrees Celsius for 30 hours. This process destroys all pathogenic organisms, including salmonella. APPÌs Quality Assurance team and trained staff monitors the drying process closely to ensure all products arenÌt cooked, but dehydrated to remove all moisture. As a result, APPÌs products leave the factory in conditions that are healthy, safe and appealing to your pet - not full of harmful ingredients like some commercially prepared pet foods.
The raw material is prepared and cut-to-size prior to the drying process. Products are then placed on specialized mobile stainless steel racks and moved into drying rooms. The computerized dryers are programmed according to the particular product in the drying room. All products are processed and dried accordingly due to the variance in moisture content in each particular treat.
