After a rigorous process, Sealord selected two New Zealand manufacturing partners who approach food quality the same way Sealord does in its business producing food for pet owners.

Both operate under rigorous New Zealand food safety programmes and holds specialised certifications in canned and air dried petfood production with advanced HACCP systems, meaning every batch is made to meet the highest standards in the world.

We’ve partnered with The Natural Pet Treat Company® as our trusted manufacturing partner for our premium air dried and freeze dried range because their values and standards align closely with our own. Established in 1999 as a small, family-owned New Zealand business producing 100% natural dog treats, they have grown into a recognised producer of premium pet nutrition.

They prioritise product quality above all else and with strong Kiwi ingenuity, decades of expertise, and continued investment in innovation and growth, they represented a perfect partner for Sealord to work with to develop Skipper. Their New Zealand-made focus gives us confidence that every product we offer in our Skipper range meets the highest standards for pets and their owners.

We have chosen to work with Zeal Pet Nutrition Limited for our canned range because like The Natural Pet Treat Company they share our commitment to quality, safety and share our commitment to quality, safety and doing things the right way.  

New Zealand is known around the world for it's exceptional seafood, and that's exactly why we produce our canned range here. Using only our own top quality New Zealand fish ingredients, we're able to deliver the high levels of nutrition, freshness and traceability that pets deserve.  

With Zeal Pet Nutrition Limited, we combine our premium seafood ingredients with world-class manufacturing and strict food safety standards, ensuring every can is crafted with care, consistency and integrity from start to finish. 

This produces premium canned pet food made from trusted New Zealand ingredients and produced to exacting global standards, so you can feel confident about what you’re feeding your pet every day.
