“From a quality control standpoint, the pet food has to pass the same as human food,” he said. “Thailand is not huge in producing food for themselves, but they produce a lot of food for other countries. So the standards have to be very high. It’s a great place for manufacturing foods, which a lot of consumers don’t know.”
Weruva, which was launched in 2006, adheres to the standards set by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), considered to be one of the strictest, if not the strictest, human food processing standards on the planet.
So contrary to popular belief, Thailand actually is home to some of the safest foods for pets, as well as people.
