Biophive Are Specialists In Natural Treats That Are Good For Pets.

Specialists

We are specialists in the processing and supply of natural pet treats to brands and retailers all over the world. We have an integrated supply chain providing secure supply of premium raw materials and we understand our customers, their customers and their pets well.

Natural

Made in New Zealand from made premium raw materials which are harvested from free-range, grass-fed livestock which are GMO, hormone and antibiotic free. Our ingredients are natural, and our products are minimally processed using small batch methods.

Good For Pets

Our treats are made from ingredients that are good for pets. Giving pets treats creates a connection between the pet and the pet-lover, which is good for the wellbeing of the pet and good for the wellbeing of the pet-lover.

Good For All

Our business was created to utilise the waste from the meat processing industry. This is the sort of simple and honest sustainability we stand for. New Zealand has some of the most rigorous sustainable farming, animal welfare and export processing practices and standards in the world.

Testimonials

We have a great working relationship. They never seem to run out of stock and if we need a favour they help out

Brand Owner.
We never run out of stock of products from Biophive, which is not the case with many of our other suppliers. They are really organised, things tick along really well with Biophive. They are a good supplier.

Brand Owner.
Our consumers love the idea of the utilisation of the whole animal; such as using the trachea, hoofs, lungs etc and combining different parts of the animal to create new products, that is innovation. It feels like nothing goes to waste. Our consumers really like that.

Private Label Retailer.
Consumers have a strong perception of trust and cleanliness which is very unique to New Zealand. When we talk about grass fed and we show beautiful images of New Zealand, that’s powerful stuff.

Brand Owner.
Consumers like New Zealand as a supplier of pet products, they appreciate the quality of the pristine agriculture and they perceive New Zealand as having a good story about sustainability

Private Label Brand.
The Biophive team have a uniquely kiwi customer service style, they are friendly, honest and responsive and nothing is too much trouble.

Brand Owner.
The sustainability angle is very important with our consumers, whether it is how the animals are farmed, the manufacturing process and sustainable packaging, they are really interested in the stories that go beyond the product.

Brand Owner.
We have created brands based on sourcing stories. New Zealand lamb provides a point of difference, it is held in high regard.
