About Us
"We are the best bakery in the pet industry."
We are living our mission everyday – in everything we do. Our employees have made this mission possible. They are producers of some of the most complex treats in the industry and we are very proud of that. One of the reasons we have been so successful is our ability to master those difficult formulas and consistently provide our customers with products that meet their specifications.
By focusing on baking, we have been able to master complex formulas and produce some of the most upscale products in the industry. Consumer demand for upscale dog treats increases along with the increased demand for luxury items for their pets. Also, as consumers continue to become more health conscience with their own diets, we see the same trend in the products they purchase for their pets. One of the fastest growing markets for pet foods and treats is in the all-natural, organic and holistic segments.
Hampshire Pet Products is the pet food industry’s first choice for baked solutions. When any company has a conceptual idea for a baked treat, we want them to think of Hampshire first – knowing we are the ones that can develop their idea and make it a reality. We have to constantly be rethinking and reinventing what we do to stay ahead of consumer demands.
Our production department is divided into two main segments – processing (mixing, forming and baking the treats) and packaging (packaging and assembling the treats for shipment). These two areas are supported and enhanced by our quality, sanitation, maintenance and warehousing personnel. We have our own on-site quality lab and our technicians are responsible for over 30 quality checks throughout our production flow along with the testing they administer on incoming ingredients and finished goods. For palatability testing and feeding trials, we use Creekside Nutrition Center in Meadville, PA. Our 160,000 sq ft facility has three production lines, five packaging lines and 150 employees.
