Our in-house certified Pet Nutritionist creates recipes with the right amount of fresh meat, fish, nutrition-rich offal, vegetables, fruit, botanicals, minerals and vitamins.
We believe meat meal isn't what we should be feeding our pets. It’s a substance that can be made up of meat and animal remains like horns, hooves and feathers that are powdered, pulverised and frazzled at high temperatures down to dust.
So meat meal, thanks, but we’ll do this on our own. Because you’ll never find meat meal in our food for pets. And that’s a promise. We pinky swear.
Real, nutritious food is part of the solution
The food you feed your pets shouldn’t be something you worry about. It does the job, so you can do yours. Being the best pet parent you can be.
Every ingredient we use is
No ingredient is hard to understand or pronounce. Instead of using pre-heated meat meal, we cook fresh meat, nutrition-rich offal, and fish with fewer heating processes. Then blend with fruits and vegetables for dogs, and herbs and botanicals for cats.
