As many individuals consider their pets as part of the family, it’s no question that they would be concerned about the quality of their diet. Pet food manufacturers, retailers, and 3PL partners must have confidence in their practices that will protect the integrity of their food at all points of the supply chain. Below we’ll take a look into characteristics pet suppliers to look for in a 3PL partner:
- A yearly and inclusive audit should be done in order to ensure good practices and transparency throughout the pet food journey along the supply chain.
- A well trained staff with extensive knowledge of hygiene and safety protocols across the supply chain.
Strict adherence to FSEP and HACCP policies. - Access to climate controlled vehicles and storage units for wet or raw food products.
- Modern technology to effectively monitor, record, and stay up to date on shipments.
