In 2022, The Coffee Club joined the SPCA Certified family as the first café chain in New Zealand to use only SPCA Certified eggs in all menu items. Nando's joined the programme in 2024, to show their commitment to farmed animal welfare by only using SPCA Certified free-range chicken in their New Zealand restaurants.
Early 2024, Central Bark Dog Daycare in Auckland joined the SPCA Certified family.
Every one of our members has committed to advancing animal welfare for the animals in their care.
As consumer awareness grows, the SPCA Certified team are hoping more and more farmers and pet care businesses will see the benefits of joining the initiative.
