Technical controls
We are renowned for our product quality. That is why vets recommend our brands. Indeed, our products are subjected to an exhaustive quality control that starts with raw materials and ends with finished product studies.
Every Vitalcan food piece that reaches your pet’s plate goes through the following controls:
Raw materials are subjected to strict biochemical and bacteriological controls. Under our strict protocols, only raw materials that overcome such controls may enter the manufacture site.
During the manufacturing process, product samples are taken for further analysis at every stage.
Upon finishing the manufacturing process, the final product is subjected to exhaustive physical-chemical and bromatological controls.
By doing this, Vitalcan takes rigorous care of the entire production chain so as to ensure you will a product under excellent conditions.

Research Center
Research is about investigating and experimenting to increase knowledge. At Vitalcan, we are continuously seeking more and better knowledge to create new healthy options for pets.
That is why we have entered into an agreement with the School of Veterinary Sciences, National University of the Center of Buenos Aires Province (UNICEN), and created the Vitalcan Research Center, which turns us into the only company in the industry to carry out our own research in Argentina.
That research ensures the quality of all Vitalcan products and means an essential scientific advancement in small animal nutrition knowledge. The research carried out at the Center is non-invasive for pets, conforming to our brand’s animal welfare values.
Secure Packages
The strict care we take regarding production chain includes our package manufacture. They were designed to protect our food against external factors, such as sunlight and humidity, among others.
Through a thorough design and manufacture process, we seek the following in our packages:
Creating strong, useful packages
Preserving your pet's food properly
Minimizing environmental impact
MICROPERFORATIONS
Micro-perforations prevent bag breaks.
FOLDED, GLUED BASE
The folded, glued base considerably reinforces package to prevent breaks, which is essential in big presentations.
K SEALING
We use this kind of sealing for packages (k sealing) to achieve a higher resistance in package critical points.
TRI-LAMINATE PACKAGE
The tri-laminate structure provides low external agent (gasses such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) permeability.
LESS MATERIAL
We reduced a 15% of the material used for bigger packages and continue working to reduce other presentation bag thickness. Our goal is to minimize the fossil polymers used so as to reduce environmental impact while keeping package preservation properties.
BIAXIALLY-ORIENTED POLYETHYLENE
We use a double layer of biaxially-oriented polyethylene (PE), which is a very flexible, highly resistant material.
Nutrients
Every Vitalcan food bag that you take home contains research, studies, packaging control, quality controls, raw material assessment and a perfect mix of carefully selected ingredients for your pet’s health.
These ingredients (meals, oils, cereals, natural extracts, etc.) have the essential nutrients for a healthy, balanced diet.
We invite you to learn more about which of these nutrients are necessary for your pet to have a healthy development.
