SPCA New Zealand - Animal Welfare Certified

Getting certified

More providers becoming certified means more animals receiving a higher standard of care.

What am I paying for?

  • Improved credibility and trust with consumers by association with one of NZ’s most well-known animal welfare brands

  • Peace of mind – you’re doing the right thing
  • Reduced cost and effort to access expertise from a trusted source
  • Expertise is coming from a NGO whose focus is on animal welfare, not commercial gain
  • Raising the bar of animal welfare

  • Increased sales of your product or service
  • Providing an option to consumers who want to buy higher animal welfare products or services

  • Reduced cost and effort to keep informed about the latest in animal welfare science-based research

  • Reduced effort needed for creative design.
  • Marketing campaigns have more impact on consumers as the messaging in market from SPCA Certified and its members is the same.

  • Provide further education to internal stakeholders on animal welfare.
  • Help educate consumers on what good animal welfare outcomes look like.

  • Trust and credibility that your product or service goes beyond what is legally required for animal welfare in NZ.
  • Positive consumer perception of your genuine support to improve animal welfare.
