In the early 2000s, demand for infant formula skyrocketed. New Zealand has enjoyed a new export revenue stream since. Peaked in 2013, export value was over $700m a year for New Zealand and over 200 brands were entered the market to compete for limited manufacturing capacity.
The playing field was late restricted largely to few big players, especially these with own factories, following policy changes in China. Despite of the restrictions, New Zealand still enjoys steady export revenue in infant formula today.
Could pet milk formula be the next gold mine for New Zealand? “Yes, it’s entirely possible. “, said James Gu, one of the founders of PetNZ Ltd and creators of the PetNZC brand.
Many pet owners have been feeding their pets with normal cows’ milk for long time as a treat. Most kittens and puppies up to 6 to 8 weeks are fine to drink milk. Some cats and dogs have lactose intolerance issue. So, there are many people keep milk away from cats and pets. Lactose free milk is one solution to the issue. However, it is costly and time-consuming for manufacturing as it involves a fermentation process to remove lactose from the milk.
Goat milk has long been used by human with lactose intolerance. Goat milk has been found also great for cats and dogs. Goat milk naturally contains lots of more beneficial nutrients than cows’ milk. Easy to absorb calcium in goat milk is great for supporting growth and health of bones and teeth. Vitamin Bs in the milk helps pets’ well-being and normal development as well. So, goat milk is ideal to supplement cats and dogs’ traditional diets which do not have much calcium and vitamins generally.
Covid-19 has forced many people stay home and feel lonely. It’s not surprising to see more people are adopting pets during the difficult time. This unexpected situation also pushes many pet food manufacturers to the limit. Pet food shortage has been a worldwide problem since the start of Covid-19. It was reported that USA pet manufacturers can only meet 75% of demand.
Rising costs of bringing up children and aging population are also two major factors in the rapid rising pet ownership, especially in China, Japan and some South-East Asia countries. China alone has over 100 million registered cats and dogs now.
New Zealand is the world’s best dairy producing country known for its quality and grass-feeding practice. The Free Trade Agreement between China and New Zealand and strong relationship between the two countries give New Zealand a huge advantage compared to other countries.
PetNZ Ltd, the Christchurch based pet formula company rooted to the dairy industry back to 2011. Their purpose-built modern factory was designed and built to cater for both human and pet milk products from beginning. “We are launching a series of goat milk formula for cats and dogs with 8 varieties under PetNZC brand.

This new segment of dairy industry will be much larger than milk replacers which are generally for newborn kittens and puppies only.” Said, Mr Gu.
“First commercial shipment to China has already been sent and the 2nd shipment to China will arrive early next week. Distribution through local supermarkets and pet shops in New Zealand and China will be arranged as soon as possible.” Said, Mr Gu.
