The preparation of Happy Cat dry food
Your cat likes to eat Happy Cat dry food and you're wondering how the tasty croquettes are produced? Here we explain step by step how our croquettes are made: from the natural ingredients to the healthy dry food.
We use meat from species-appropriate husbandry to prepare our cat food. This provides high-quality animal protein, which is sensibly combined with other essential nutrients. Selected herbs, valuable oils, easily digestible carbohydrates and digestive fiber complete the Happy Cat dry food and provide your cat with all the vital substances it needs for healthy growth and a long cat life. We are able to prepare it particularly gently with the Thermostufenmix®. This is how delicious cat food of the highest quality is produced in Wehringen, Bavaria.
Farm yard
Natural raw materials from farmers from our Bavarian homeland
We place the rearing of animals and the cultivation of plant-based raw materials in the hands of our carefully selected agricultural partners. Animal welfare-friendly rearing is extremely important to us when it comes to our meat suppliers. We also attach great importance to sourcing as many of the plant-based raw materials as possible, such as grain, potatoes and local herbs, from predominantly regional agriculture.
delivery
Short delivery routes for more freshness
The majority of our ingredients come from the region around Augsburg. Because of the short travel distances, we always receive fresh produce straight from the fields. This way we protect the environment and support the farmers in our homeland.
mill & mixer
Grinding & mixing
All raw materials for our premium dog food are checked for foreign bodies using several vibrating screens and magnets so that your pet only gets perfect food. The ingredients are then ground and mixed in a mill. This process takes around 4 minutes.
Thermostufenmix®
Gentle preparation: this preserves vitamins and nutrients
The feed mixture is first gently pre-treated with steam and heated for about an hour. In the second stage, the mixture is kneaded in the extruder tube at a minimum of 90 degrees Celsius and then shaped into croquettes.
Drying & refining
Carefully dried & refined with oil
The croquettes are dried for 22 minutes at 125 degrees Celsius. After that, they only have a maximum moisture content of 12%, which ensures a longer shelf life. Finally, the dry food is refined with high-quality oils and antioxidants and cooled to ambient temperature.
Check & Pack
Quality control: Because only the best ends up in the bag
The croquettes are put through a metal detector again, because the highest quality is our top priority. That is why the finished croquettes are also carefully checked in the laboratory. Only when we are completely sure that our high-quality cat food has been produced with natural ingredients and the perfect recipe are the croquettes packed in bags of different sizes. This is quality made in Germany.
