Supplements for pets Supplements for pets
As the population in Japan decreases, the number of pet owners is increasing. However, most conventional pet foods are imported from overseas and contain various additives for quality maintenance. Additionally, with pets aging and living longer, preventative measures against lifestyle diseases, just like those for humans, become necessary. The demand for pet supplements is expected to continue growing. Please feel free to reach out to us when launching your company's brand.

If there are any issues or areas for improvement, we will make adjustments accordingly. ※Prototype costs will be invoiced separately ※The lead time for prototype production is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. After you are satisfied with the prototypes, we will formally enter into production upon receipt of the official purchase order.

Regulations related to pet food (supplements)
- ■Pet food safety law
-
The "Act on Ensuring the Safety of Animal Feed for Animals" (Pet Food Safety Act) was enacted on June 18, 2008 as a law jointly administered by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and came into effect on June 1, 2009. (It became mandatory in December 2010).
The law applies to pet food for dogs and cats (feed for animals other than dogs and cats is not covered).
In addition, pet food importers or manufacturers are required to submit notifications, and factories that undertake OEM contract manufacturing must be in the pet food manufacturing industry.
Just like with human health foods, it is a violation of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Act to include pharmaceutical ingredients in a product or to suggest efficacy or efficacy as if it were a drug or medical device without permission.*Guidelines regarding pharmaceutical expressions in pet food
