Dogs Delight bakery is DEFRA Approved

We are truly Delighted to announce that we have finally received our DEFRA approval for our new bakery.

We’ve waited a long time to officially announce this, 1.5yrs in the making. Pandemic and Avian Flu causing us delays… But we’ve DONE IT!

How we became DEFRA approved

Passing all the regulations has included many checks and inspections by government officials and specialist vets. We’ve really worked hard on this. But it’s paid off and is very important to us.

We are particularly proud of our achievement as many dog treat manufacturers shy away from making treats with meat in them as they don’t want to come under the DEFRA regulations.

There are also many manufacturers who have cropped up since the lock-downs and they are making their treats in non-approved premises which is illegal!

Our approval relates to our processing of category 3 animal by-products. For us that simply means the human grade meats and free range eggs we use in our recipes. I wanted to draw attention to this to explain what the term by-product means. Many people think that by-products are only skins, feathers and other waste products. Not always the case.
