One of the biggest challenges we faced was finding the perfect packaging—something that kept our food fresh and functional while also being as eco-conscious as possible. After months of rigorous testing, we landed on kraft paper-based packaging.

Kraft paper is widely recognised for its environmental benefits. It is biodegradable, recyclable, and made from renewable resources. Unlike traditional plastic-based packaging, kraft paper significantly reduces the amount of non-biodegradable waste that ends up in landfills. Additionally, our packaging includes a re-sealable lid, ensuring convenience without unnecessary waste. We also made sure that our kraft paper packaging could withstand freezer storage, making it a sustainable yet practical choice for our customers.

A crucial aspect of our sustainability journey is ensuring that the ingredients in our meals come from ethical and responsible sources. That’s why we are incredibly proud to have partnered with Buitelaar Group for all of our meat supply.

Buitelaar Group is a family-run business with a strong commitment to regenerative farming and sustainability. Their net zero mission focuses on reducing emissions across the supply chain, implementing practices that promote soil health, and enhancing biodiversity. By working with British farmers who prioritise ethical livestock practices, Buitelaar Group helps reduce the environmental impact of meat production while maintaining exceptional quality.

Sourcing British meat is also a conscious decision on our part. By keeping our supply chain as local as possible, we minimise transportation-related emissions while supporting UK farmers who adhere to some of the highest welfare standards in the world. This means better meat for your dogs and a better future for the planet.
