Pro Pet Austria Heimtiernahrung GmbH

In October 1997 Pro Pet Austria Heimtiernahrung GmbH was founded by the two established pet food companies Rupp Food Austria and Concept Pet, with a production facility in Gastern (Waldviertel) and an office in Pucking near Linz. Since then, the company has been continuously developed.

Our privately run meat company specializes in the production and distribution of high-quality dog and cat snacks, which are produced in a gentle manufacturing process from frozen offal. The products are marketed under the brand names of major trade and industry partners.

Today, Pro Pet Austria is one of the leading producers of snack products made of meat and a crisis-proof employer in the region.
