Ethical Policy
At Butcher’s Pet Care we make it a priority to
listen to our customers and to ensure that we continue
to produce pet food that is based on quality and palatability
whilst providing all the essential nutrients your pet
needs.
Butcher’s Stance on Animal Testing
At Butcher’s Pet Care all our palatability tests (to gauge the pets acceptance
of the product) are carried out in the pets natural home setting. Butcher’s
Pet Care Ltd do not allow any of our foods to be tested using either captive
animals or invasive testing techniques.
Butcher’s Ingredients
At Butcher’s we believe that what we exclude from our products is just
as important as what we include. All food is as natural as possible; all our
products are made with natural ingredients. Butcher’s Pet Care also sources
all raw materials via the freshest route available, ensuring best quality.
Butcher’s Packaging
Butcher’s Pet Care can confirm that:
• The company recycles used packaging materials such as cardboard and
plastic film.
• Paper and card packaging on finished products is made from recycled materials
where possible.
• All cans used in production are made from recyclable steel.
At Butcher’s Pet Care we believe that as a manufacturing company and brand
owner we have a responsibility to produce our products both to the highest quality
standards achievable and to do so ethically. Therefore, in conjunction with both
our suppliers and customers we have developed our ethical policy, which aims
to reflect owner’s concerns and requirements regarding the food they give
their pets.
At Butcher’s Pet Care we make it a priority to listen to our customers
and to ensure that we continue to produce pet food that is based on quality and
palatability whilst providing all the essential nutrients your pet needs.
The key elements of our policy are broken down into four areas: Taste Assessment;
Raw Materials; Packaging and Finished Products.
Taste Assessment
At Butcher’s pet Care we believe that product palatability is key to a
successful food. Our aim is to produce premium food that not only tastes great
but also provides your pet with all the essential nutrients required for a fit,
healthy and happy animal.
At Butcher’s Pet Care all our palatability tests (to gauge the pets acceptance
of the product) are carried out in the pets natural home setting. Butcher’s
Pet Care Ltd will not develop any product using either captive animals or invasive
testing techniques.
This enables the pet to trial the food in a non-stressful, everyday environment.
All our tests are guaranteed to be non-invasive and no pet is ever put at risk
as all products are scientifically analysed to ascertain nutritional content
before palatability trials commence. Feedback given by the owners on how interested
the pets were about the food and how much they ate is used to develop the final
recipe.
Butcher’s Pet Care conduct extensive quality checks on-line in the production
of the product to ensure only the very best of our products reach supermarket
shelves.
Raw Materials At Butcher’s we believe that what we exclude form our products
is just as important as what we include. We also believe that all food should
be as natural as possible, all our products are made with natural ingredients.
Butcher’s Pet Care also sources all raw materials via the freshest route
available, ensuring best quality.
In order to further protect the environment Butcher’s Pet Care guarantee
that all seafood’s are caught using dolphin friendly techniques and all
materials are derived from sustainable sources and are readily replenished.
Packaging
Our customers are keen to see the policy include statements about the importance
of recycling and our commitment to the ‘green’ sector. As a result
Butcher’s Pet Care can confirm that:
• The company recycles used packaging materials such as cardboard and plastic
film
• Paper and card packaging on finished products is made from recycled materials
where possible
• All cans used in production are made from recyclable steel.
Finished Products All customers want to be reassured that the food they give
their pets has been developed with quality in mind and that quality systems have
been introduced at every stage of the process. Butcher’s Pet Care puts
quality first every time.
• Quality systems have been put in place at every stage of production
• Butcher’s Pet Care has a quality statement, which is available to
all customers. Butcher’s Pet Care provides all suppliers with a copy of
out ethical statement and encourage all suppliers to operate similar policies.
