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.
Let's talk
real
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.

More on meat meal
Some people think meat meal is fine. We don't. It's not up to the standards we believe pets deserve. And you will never find it in any of our food for pets.
To get to the bottom of this mystery, a bunch of us visited a rendering plant to see exactly how meat meal is made.
The process.
