Certifications & testing

Certificates and testing

Documents are issued per order and SKU. We do not claim that every product is certified.

Pet products are checked against the rules of the destination market. Which document is needed depends on the product, the material, the intended animal and the country.

Below is what can be arranged or requested. Where a partner factory holds a certificate, the certificate is the factory's, not ours, and the scope and validity are taken from the actual document.

Material safety testing

Tests
Heavy metals, azo dyes, pull strength, chewing, washing performance
Holder
Factory or brand, depending on the report
Scope
Confirmed per SKU
How to get it
Arranged per order with a third-party laboratory

Material safety, heavy metals, azo dyes, pull strength, chewing and washing performance testing can be arranged per order and SKU. Not every product has an existing report; where one is needed it is arranged before production.

Factory audits and quality systems

Standard
ISO 9001, BSCI or Sedex, where held
Holder
Partner factory
Scope
Confirmed per factory
How to get it
Available on request where a valid report exists

Where a partner factory holds a valid ISO 9001 or social audit report, it can be provided on request. The audit covers the factory, not every product it makes.

Textile certification

Standard
GRS / OEKO-TEX, where held
Holder
Partner factory or fabric mill
Scope
Fabric or filling used in the SKU
How to get it
Available on request where certified fabric is used

If a certified fabric or filling is used, the relevant certificate can be requested. Material certification covers the material, not the finished product.

Food-contact testing

Tests
Food-contact material and migration, where applicable
Holder
Factory or brand, depending on the report
Scope
Bowls, feeders and waterers
How to get it
Arranged per order where the product requires it

Bowls, feeders and waterers that may contact food or water can be tested for food-contact compliance for the destination market. Where the product does not require it, no claim is made.

What we will not write

  • We do not write "we are ISO/CE certified" — a factory certificate is not ours.
  • We do not publish a logo without the certificate name, holder, scope and validity.
  • We do not publish an expired certificate, or describe a factory certificate as a brand-owned certificate.
  • We do not say that all products have passed testing.

How to request documents

Send the SKU, destination market and the document you need. We will confirm whether a report exists, who holds it and what it covers, and send the PDF where available. If a test is required and no report exists, we will quote the test and the additional lead time before the order.
