For happy, lively pets

Dogs and cats are carnivorous animals and are sensitive to the smell, taste, texture and nutritional composition of the food offered to them. To meet their needs and preserve their health, we offer a range of ingredients under the Vivaks by Akiolis brand that meet very strict criteria in terms of nutritional quality and health safety.

A wide range of pet food products

High-end Duck PAP

Duck Meal: super premium

We work closely with our supplier and the certification body SOCOTEC to offer you the first super premium French duck PAP labeled Duck Meal.

This certification guarantees that our raw materials are only made with duck muscles and carcasses.

Duck By Product Meal: Premium

We also offer a premium duck PAP “Duck By Product Meal”. The specificity of this protein from mixed duck by-products is that it contains no feathers (1% goose depending on the time of year).

All the by-products used in the manufacture process of these proteins come from ducks intended for human consumption.
