There are four distinct factors that have an impact on dog food quality.
These include the quality of the raw ingredients used, the formulation of the food, manufacturing technology and the laboratory controls and tests performed during and after the manufacturing process. Omega Pet Foods combines the best of these four factors in its range of premium products:
Ostrich Range
Chicken Range
Superior raw ingredients
Export grade ostrich meal (exclusively sourced from Cape Karoo International, Oudtshoorn) and imported chicken and lamb meat meal is used in the production of Omega. The high protein and low ash contents of these meat meals assure high bioavailability and digestibility of ingested protein. The meat meals are growth hormone and antibiotic stimulant free.
Formulated by experts
Omega was formulated by veterinarians and companion animal nutritionists, incorporating the latest scientific-based knowledge on canine nutrition. The food is manufactured according to a fixed formulation, making it possible to list (in order of dry mass inclusion) detailed raw ingredients on the packaging.
World Class Manufacturing
The production facility is veterinary approved for dry food exports and is HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and FSSC 22000 certified. To comply with these certifications, regular external independent audits are done on the manufacturing facility.
Continuous laboratory testing
Internal and external laboratories perform continuous testing on raw ingredients, as well as on the final product. This ensures that Omega meets all the guaranteed nutritional values and is contaminant free. As part of Omega’s continuous strive to provide a constant quality product, samples from each batch of Omega products are also independently evaluated by the companion animal nutritionists at Nutritionhub in Stellenbosch.
Omega Pet Food also promotes your pet’s optimal health and well-being in the following ways:
