Our story
European pet food producer
We make food for pets 
with love 
to provide the best care 
VAFO Group was created by expanding the Czech company Vafo Praha (since 1994) with acquisitions in Germany, Poland, Estonia, Finland and UK. Together we operate nine pet food factories, where we produce superpremium pet food, snacks, and supplements for dogs, cats and small animals. VAFO Group brands are produced for more than 85 countries around the world and our total annual production exceeding 200,000 tons.
What we do
Pet Food proven by time and pets alike
Our product portfolio includes dry foods, wet foods, snacks, and supplements in a wide variety of formula options, such as fresh-meat, grain-free, sustainable, monoprotein, novel and niche ingredients, and low-grain concepts… You name it, we make it. Maybe you’ve heard of some of our leading brands, such as Brit, Carnilove, HauHau, Pooch&Mutt or Planet Pet Society…. Do any of those ring a bell? They should, since they’re available in more than 85 countries.

Our values
We’re very well aware of how the pet food industry affects the environment. That’s why we’re committed to always run our business as sustainably as possible.
No matter what we do, the first thing on our list of priorities is the wellbeing and health of pets. And it’s something we’ll never compromise on, since it is the cornerstone of everything we believe in.
From the very beginning, we use only the best ingredients we can get our hands on. And after 28 years, we’ve become very good at finding them for you.
Love for pets is the first matter of business in any interview at VAFO. Every one of us does everything in their power to fight animal cruelty, abuse, and testing. As should the rest of the world.
Happy people make a successful company. We are and always will be family business rooted in fellowship, teamwork, and honesty.
We strive to be the best business partner in the industry in all aspects. Our clients = our family.
