The kitchen maintains ingredients between -18°C and +5°C throughout production.

"This facility represents years of planning and a shared commitment to raise the bar for pet food manufacturing in the UAE and wider GCC," said Rob Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Furchild. "It operates to the same food safety and quality standards as human-grade kitchens and reinforces our mission to make fresh food more accessible to pets across the region."
