Pet Food Fulfilment in Italy
Certified. Fresh. Connected.
The Challenge: Pet Food in Italy
Pet food fulfilment requires specialised certification and handling that most general fulfilment centres simply don't have. Italy's pet food market is booming — pet ownership is among the highest in Europe, and premium pet nutrition brands are growing rapidly in both D2C and B2B channels (veterinarians, breeders, specialist retailers). But storing and shipping animal feed requires specific certifications under Italian and EU regulations, plus handling logistics that range from 10-18 kg bulk bags to small speciality tins.
Get it right, and you tap into a passionate, loyal customer base where repeat orders are the norm. We already handle pet food logistics for brands in the Colgate-Palmolive group, proving our facility and processes meet the standards of the world's most demanding pet nutrition companies.
Specialist Pet Food Capabilities
Certified Animal Feed Facility
Our dedicated 1,000 m² facility in Gazzada, Lombardy is certified for animal feed storage (mangime) under Italian regulations, with pest-controlled environment and purpose-built infrastructure. Designed for pet food brands that need compliant storage from day one — no workarounds, no compromises.
Temperature-Controlled Storage
Pet food products are stored under optimal conditions with continuous temperature monitoring. From receipt to dispatch, we ensure product quality and freshness are maintained throughout the entire chain.
Batch & Expiry Tracking
FIFO/FEFO rotation, batch number tracking, expiry date management. Ongoing WMS tracks every unit by lot for complete traceability — critical for animal feed compliance and product recall readiness.
Address Intelligence
Iris AI corrects 90% of wrong Italian addresses before dispatch. For pet food brands, that means fewer failed deliveries of heavy, bulky packages and significantly lower reshipping costs.
Marketplace Reach
Sell on Amazon.it, Zooplus, Arcaplanet, and more — all connected through Qapla'. One warehouse, one portal, every channel that Italian pet owners shop.
Multilingual Team
Our team handles Italian regulatory communication natively. For international pet food brands, we speak your language too — English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish.
Italian Pet Food Regulations: What You Need to Know
Animal feed (mangime) in Italy is regulated under EU Regulation 767/2009 and Italian national legislation. Storage facilities must hold specific certifications and meet strict hygiene standards including pest control programmes, temperature monitoring, and dedicated handling procedures for feed storage.
Labelling requirements include Italian-language packaging with ingredient lists, nutritional analysis, batch numbers, and best-before dates. Products must comply with EU feed additive regulations, and imported products require proper documentation for customs clearance.
Our dedicated certified facility meets all requirements for animal feed storage. While regulatory registration is the brand's responsibility, we work with trusted partners who can provide guidance and ensure your fulfilment operations are fully compliant from day one.
