Animal Welfare
Denny’s loves to feed people, and we believe in serving high-quality foods that are ethically sourced. The welfare and humane treatment of animals is critical to this belief. Our actions are informed through our work with industry leaders, including animal welfare experts, suppliers and trade groups, who are informed by science and focused on continuous improvement. Our brand is committed to the Five Domains Model that assesses animal welfare based on the nutrition and environment provided to the animal, the health and behavior of the animal, and mental state experienced by the animal. In addition to the Five Domains Model, Denny’s relies on the expertise of our Animal Welfare Advisory Council as external advisors who provide feedback and guidance for the brand’s consideration.
The Denny’s Animal Welfare Advisory Council, established in 2024, serves as an informed body of external experts responsible for providing guidance, feedback and intelligence on the health and care of animals that optimizes animal welfare. Their counsel will help inform Denny’s actions on key welfare areas.
