TEWKSBURY, Mass. — WHIMZEES, a WellPet LLC brand, announced June 24 it opened its latest state-of-the-art production facility at its campus in Veendam, The Netherlands. The company said expansion was necessary to support continued double-digit growth of its all-natural dental dog treats.
The facility received a top rating, “AA,” from the British Retail Consortium (BRC), a rating which has been awarded to WHIMZEES for four consecutive years for its high safety and quality standards. The rating reflects the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety.
WHIMZEES formulates its dental dog chews with limited, all-natural ingredients. They are free from artificial ingredients, preservatives, gluten, wheat, grain, GMOs or meat.
The company has also made strides in sustainability in its manufacturing process, which uses 40% less energy and allows for 90% of waste to be composted. Read about WHIMZEES’ zero-waste effort at its manufacturing campus in The Netherlands.
