Paleo Ridge named founding recipient of new RawSAFE accreditation

Paleo Ridge, a UK producer of raw dog food, has officially become RawSAFE certified, becoming a founding accreditee of the new audit specifically designed to ensure the highest standards in the raw feeding industry.

Paleo Ridge is one of the first brands to receive RawSAFE certification, having undergone a “thorough” audit of its manufacturing processes.

Partly owned by the Raw Feeding Veterinary Society (RFVS), the RawSAFE accreditation has been developed to ensure the quality and safety of raw feeding products. The audit looks at all areas of raw food manufacturing, and standards set by RawSAFE are based on those in human food manufacturing.

The business said the accreditation means its customers and prospective customers can feel confident that the brand is safe for their dogs. The certification will also reassure pet industry professionals, including vets, trainers and breeders, of Paleo Ridge’s food standards.

Tyler Daly, CEO of Paleo Ridge, said: “We are very proud that Paleo Ridge is officially RawSAFE certified. Our focus is always on the health and wellbeing of dogs and the accreditation is testament to the high quality of our food and manufacturing processes.

“The new certificate will reassure customers that our products meet the highest possible standards, improving the reach and reputation of the Paleo Ridge brand as we seek to help dogs nationwide live happy and healthy lives.”

RawSAFE added: “Launching the RawSAFE accreditation was a critical decision to guarantee the safety and standards of raw feeding. By focusing on the standards specific to this industry, we developed criteria to protect pets and their guardians as thoroughly as possible.

“We are delighted to award the certification to Paleo Ridge, a leader in the industry, and hope other raw food manufacturers will be inspired to undergo the audit too.”
