Reputation It’s so much easier to maintain your good reputation than it is to repair a tarnished one. If you're a pet food company, the LAST thing you want is for your products to get pulled from the shelves and for your retail partners to view you as untrustworthy. Staying compliant is one of the ways to avoid that! #PetFoodSafety #BrandTrust #StayCompliant

Why would someone in the pet food industry be feverishly applying for one of the openings on the California Department of Food and Agriculture Feed Inspection Advisory Board? The FIAB is your link to the CDFA. Board members provide technical and scientific advice to the FIAB and CDFA on animal food nutrition, safety and efficacy data review of new and unapproved feed ingredients, research project oversight and other issues that will affect the Commercial Feed Regulatory Program, the Livestock Drug Program and the Safe Animal Feed Education Program. Without enough representation from the pet food sector, there’s a risk policies might not reflect the unique challenges you and your professional peers face. If you want to make your voice heard, this is the time! By joining the FIAB, you’ll not only have a say in key decisions but also get insider insights on the regulatory landscape. It’s a win-win!

It just takes a lot of time Here’s the truth: getting your pet food, treats, and supplements compliant takes a lot of time. It’s not something that can be automated or Chatgpt-ed. Depending on your products and your retailers, it can require ?? good ol’ fashioned phone calls ?? paying by physical, paper cheque ?? faxing (!!!) paperwork … and that doesn’t even include all the follow up phone calls and emails or deadlines that vary from state to state. I guess what we’re saying is: If you’re in charge of keeping your pet food company compliant and you’re overwhelmed - you’re not “doing it wrong.” It IS overwhelming! And if you don’t want to do it? We can help. Drop us a message and we’ll let you know if we’d be a good fit! #ComplianceSupport #SmallBusinessSolutions #PetIndustryChallenges

You don’t know what you don’t know, right? ?? Regrettably “But I didn’t know I had to do that!” is not reasoning that holds water with, say, the State Agriculture Department. ?? That’s why we … a) won’t stop talking about state-by-state compliance (because lots of smaller pet food companies don’t even know it exists) b) offer done-for-you compliance services (because it can be super overwhelming) If you’d like to know more, drop us a message.
