New Zealand is a nation of pet lovers. A majority of New Zealand households have at least one cat or dog. In 2008 there were 1.1 million pet cats and 652 thousand pet dogs. These pets are more than animals sharing our homes, they are often considered as members of the family. For most pets commercially prepared foods forms the sole source of nutrition. Therefore, consumers expect high standards of quality, nutrition and value.

The NZPFMA is committed to providing consumers and their pets with products that meet the complex nutritional requirements of our companion animals. All members of the NZPFMA go to great lengths to prepare foods that consistently meet pets nutritional needs. Petfood manufacturers are always working to increase their knowledge of pet nutrition ensuring the food is palatable and healthy.
