How to Launch Your Own Pet Food Brand in Egypt: 4 Simple Steps

To launch a private label pet food brand in Egypt, you need a manufacturer that can formulate, produce and pack the product under your brand. RICH does this from its own factory in Giza: dry food, wet food in cans and treats for dogs and cats, plus cat litter packed from imported Turkish bentonite. RICH has manufactured since 2017 and already produces private label products for other companies.

How to launch your pet food brand: four steps

  1. Discovery. You share your target market, product categories, expected volumes and budget range. RICH tells you what is feasible before you commit to anything.
  2. Formulation. RICH develops or adapts a recipe to your specification: ingredient profile, nutritional targets, texture and palatability.
  3. Sampling and approval. A sample run for your review. The formula is refined until you approve it, before full production.
  4. Production and delivery. Full production with your branding and packaging, with consistent quality and ongoing support.

What to prepare before the first call

  • Target market: the country or region you will sell in.
  • Product categories: dry food, wet food, treats or cat litter.
  • Volumes: launch quantity and expected run rate.
  • Budget range: so the team can tell you what is realistic.
  • Brand assets: your brand name and packaging design, if you already have them.

Why build your pet food brand with a manufacturer

Working directly with the factory means one partner for formulation, production and packaging, and direct contact with the people who make your product. RICH is a manufacturer, not a trading or sourcing company, and runs private label on the same line that produces its own brands (RICH and Rich Excellence).

For more on the nutritional needs of cats and dogs, see the FEDIAF nutritional guidelines published by the European pet food industry federation.
