Safcol is an iconic brand, launched over 50 years ago in Adelaide Australia under the Snappy Tom. It is now part of the Tropical Group of Companies. It was the first brand there to focus on fish as a main protein source for Australia's cats. Prior to that, cats were fed mainly beef, lamb, and chicken as protein sources as a company made up of pet owners, we believe that pets and people are better together.
