Overview

At BEPEFA we put pet well-being first. That’s why we support the Belgian petfood industry to provide safe, nutritious and sustainable petfood. Quality and food safety We are the voice of the pet food industry in Belgium, representing the common interests of our members in government institutions and acting as an independent link between the private sector and the government agencies. We work closely with the regulatory authorities so we can direct our members to ensure they comply and provide the safest, highest quality pet food that meets the stringent requirements and is compliant with the rules and regulations. Responsible nutrition Nutrition is at the heart of pet health and well-being. BEPEFA collaborates with FEDIAF, which represents the European pet food industry, to form aligned European positions. We support our members with the latest guidelines such as nutrition, labeling and safe manufacturing practices that are based on years of collaboration with universities and research centres. Sustainable petfood The pet food industry is very mindful of the role it plays in the responsible use of resources in pet food production and its environmental impact. We work closely with FEDIAF on developing solutions that maintain a balance between the needs of both pets and people, and the necessity to protect the environment for future generations. Pet and human well-being While we put pet well-being first with our quality petfood, we also encourage our members to go a step further. Alongside financial aid, as an industry we donated around 540 thousand meals in 2020 to support pets in shelters. Furthermore, as pets have a positive effect on human well-being, our members also support training centers for service dogs and promote pets in the workplace.
