Global Standards, Uncompromising Quality. How Are Dr Malou Products Made?
Come azienda polacca, noi di Dr Malou crediamo che la sicurezza assoluta e la qualità degli alimenti e degli snack non accettino compromessi. Creando il nostro marchio, ci siamo posti un unico obiettivo: offrire prodotti eccellenti. Ecco perché per la realizzazione delle ricette uniche di Dr Malou vengono utilizzate esclusivamente le più moderne tecnologie di liofilizzazione a livello mondiale.
Un proprietario di animali domestici consapevole si chiede sempre più spesso come venga prodotto il cibo che finisce nella ciotola del suo beniamino. Siamo felici di rispondere a queste domande, invitandovi dietro le quinte del nostro processo produttivo. La nostra filosofia si basa su tre pilastri inviolabili:
Global Sourcing
Selection of raw materials exclusively with the highest biological purity and premium food-grade parameters.
Advanced Engineering
Innovative freeze-drying processes that preserve full nutritional value and natural flavor.
International Certificates
Elite global safety passports (BRCGS, IFS) combined with a strict, double veterinary control system.
Human-Grade Ingredients – Premium Selection
We believe that the foundation of every outstanding product is the highest-quality ingredients. At Dr Malou, we are not limited by geography – we carefully select and source our ingredients from around the world, always choosing the regions that offer the purest and most nutritionally valuable raw materials at any given time. Our ingredients come from, among others, White Bird chickens (breeding lines originally developed in the United States), Cherry Valley ducks from Lincolnshire County (on England's east coast), and wild Pacific salmon, sustainably sourced from crystal-clear natural fishing grounds in the Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Alaska and Canada.
Our standards are simple: we use only Human Grade meat and ingredients (meeting food standards for human consumption). Every batch of raw materials comes from controlled, certified farms and is completely free from antibiotics, hormones, artificial preservatives, and flavor enhancers. Our freeze-dried complete food contains over 90% meat and organ meat and is enriched with trace elements and minerals to meet your pet's daily nutritional requirements, making it a complete and nutritionally balanced alternative to conventional pet food.
Advanced Technology and a Clean Formula
To fully preserve the nutritional value, natural structure, and biological properties of fresh meat, traditional drying methods are often insufficient. That is why we manufacture our pet food and treats in our own production facility, using a highly specialized, fully automated production line that meets the world's strictest standards for sterility and process control.
During our production process, raw ingredients are first precisely chopped and ground. Next, trace elements, minerals required for complete nutrition, and functional dietary supplements are added. This advanced manufacturing technology ensures absolute consistency in every batch. One of the greatest advantages of freeze-dried products is the low processing temperature, which preserves even the most delicate nutrients. We use an advanced freeze-drying system with a dedicated freeze dryer, and the entire production cycle takes just 24 hours from start to finish, maximizing both nutritional value and the original freshness of the raw ingredients.
Thanks to advanced sublimation technology (freeze-drying under deep vacuum conditions) and precise, computer-controlled thermal processing, we completely eliminate microbiological risks. This allows us to maintain an exceptionally clean recipe—without the need for any chemical preservatives or artificial additives.
Certifications That Speak for Themselves
Every stage of the production of Dr Malou pet food and treats is subject to rigorous supervision and regular audits conducted by independent, internationally recognized certification bodies. These standards meet the strict requirements of global markets and are confirmed by prestigious certifications:
- BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety – an internationally recognized food safety standard awarded the high Grade B rating, covering our specialized freeze-drying and ingredient drying processes.
- IFS Food – a globally respected food safety certification achieved with an outstanding compliance score of 93.46%.
- HACCP System – a rigorous Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points system that ensures the highest level of biological safety throughout every stage of production.
- ISO 9001 – a certified quality management system guaranteeing excellence, consistency, and reliability across all production processes.
- FDA Compliance – our production standards have successfully passed verification and are officially registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Dual Independent Laboratory Verification System
At Dr Malou, safety is measurable and uncompromising. Before our products are packaged and released for sale, every batch undergoes a rigorous two-stage safety verification process:
- Stage 1 (Production Quality Control): Every individual batch undergoes comprehensive laboratory testing during the manufacturing process. Only after successfully passing all required analyses does the official veterinary authority issue an individual Health Certificate confirming the highest level of biological safety and purity.
- Stage 2 (Official Incoming Inspection): Before a batch is accepted into the warehouse and approved for commercial distribution, it undergoes a second, completely independent official veterinary inspection. This includes a full review of all documentation, product identification, and advanced physical and laboratory analyses.
Our pet food is released for sale only after successfully passing both independent verification stages. Furthermore, once on the market, our products remain under continuous supervision by the National Veterinary Inspection, including official monitoring programs such as the National Control Plan.
Recipe Development and Veterinary Supervision
All Dr Malou recipes are developed in strict accordance with the latest international nutritional guidelines established by FEDIAF (the European Pet Food Industry Federation), ensuring an optimal and perfectly balanced nutritional profile for both dogs and cats.
Further demonstrating our commitment to the highest standards, Dr Malou Sp. z o.o., a Polish company, is officially registered with the Chief Veterinary Inspectorate under the national registration number: PL2262150p.
This registration confirms our full compliance with the strict requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 183/2005 regarding feed hygiene, complete raw material traceability, and transparent documentation. Every product batch is released for sale only after successfully passing all legally required inspections.
