SPCA New Zealand

The Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (abbreviated as RNZSPCA or SPCA) is a charitable society working to promote the humane treatment of animals, prevent cruelty, and advance animal welfare through education and direct community action.

Born from a passion for animal welfare and environmental stewardship, DankNips 100% Natural Herbal Pet Treats are designed specifically for the conscious owner.

As advocates for keeping cats safe indoors to protect local wildlife, we believe that providing high-quality, ethical enrichment is a vital part of responsible pet ownership.

By keeping your cat happy and stimulated indoors, you are empowered to protect local wildlife as well as people because preventing cats from roaming helps stop the spread of toxoplasmosis in the environment.

The parasite that causes toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma gondii) reproduces in cat’s intestines, and its microscopic eggs are transmitted into the environment through cat faeces. The parasite enters our waterways via stormwater runoff if the cat faeces is outside, and even if their faeces is flushed down the toilet the parasite survives the wastewater treatment and ends up everywhere the treated water goes.

Toxoplasmosis is deadly to humans, causing miscarriage and birth defects. It is also the leading causes of death to New Zealand’s precious Hector’s and Māui dolphins. The safest way to dispose of your cat’s waste is in controlled landfill to remove it from our waterways completely.
