What does it mean to be NASC Certified?

Pet Releaf is proud to have earned the NASC (National Animal Supplement Council) Certification on Pet Releaf products.

To sum up what this means, here’s a quote directly from Bill Bookout, President of NASC:

“The NASC Quality Seal is awarded only to companies that have successfully passed a facility audit and comply with rigorous quality standards, including strict labeling requirements and random product testing by an independent lab. We welcome Pet Releaf as a newly audited member that will provide truly healthy products for our pet companions that will always be made with honesty and integrity.”

Pet Releaf is beyond proud to be awarded the NASC Quality Seal so fellow pet parents can feel confident about supplementing CBD for dogs and cats.

Pet Releaf's NASC certification assures customers that the company is honest about what goes into its products and how they benefit pets. This builds trust with consumers who want to know exactly what their pets are consuming.
