Green Petfood

We're celebrating the first truly sustainable dog and cat food!

We at Green Petfood set out 10 years ago on Mission Impossible: to create products with real added value that were animal-friendly and environmentally friendly. Or to put it another way: dog and cat food that shows every two-legged and four-legged friend how easy sustainability can be.

Incredibly, we have been following this unconventional path for a whole decade. That's certainly reason enough to celebrate! Cheers to the courage to challenge old structures, to critically question the status quo, and to look off the beaten track for sustainable solutions!

Hurray for Green Petfood!

Green Petfood: sustainability experts and problem solvers in one

With Green Petfood we have created an innovative and ecological alternative for you and your four-legged friend, which is not only sustainable, but also suitable for sensitive dogs and cats.

Does your dog have a food allergy or intolerance? Is your four-legged friend always scratching? Is your cat a sensitive soul? We're here to support you every day - and that includes a green paw print.

How it all began 10 years ago

In the beginning we had a controversial idea: we wanted to combine sustainability with animal health. At that time, this was still a very niche topic; the number one ingredient in dog food up to that point was meat. And that can only be partially reconciled with sustainability. At first, we were ridiculed for our idea of meat-reduced dog food, but with our strong will and experienced nutrition experts we were able to develop the first vegetarian complete food for dogs.

This wonderful, unique idea is now 10 years old. To date, recipes based on insect protein and other innovative ideas have been added. And you know what? We are far from finished!

Here's to the next 10 years!

As part of a family business, we boast over 80 years of experience in pet food and are constantly turning new ideas into reality. At Green Petfood, we have been developing high-quality products with exceptional recipes for 10 years now, combining scientific knowledge with innovation and sustainability.

As you can see, when we do something, we do it properly. Our journey is far from over: join us, and make the impossible possible.

Conventional animal feed vs Green Petfood

We stand out from other animal food producers because we are sustainable and innovative, and because our Green Petfood recipes are extraordinary. We offer meat-free dog food (VeggieDog), meat-based food (FarmDog/FairCat), and insect-based food (InsectDog). Whichever Green Petfood you select, you and your four-legged friend will help make the world a slightly greener place, every day!

What can Green Petfood do?

Our Green Petfood products provide alternative protein sources derived from peas, lupin beans, insects or poultry and salmon; so there's something for everyone! We developed our dog and cat food together with experienced nutritional scientists to ensure that your four-legged friend receives all the nutrients they need.

What else does it contain?

Our simple recipes are made using exclusively high-quality ingredients, which we obtain primarily from regional suppliers. All incoming ingredients and outgoing products are tested in our in-house accredited laboratory. The independent DLG TestService GmbH has also tested our entire production process and awarded us with the assessment "VERY GOOD".

Our recipes only contain the things your pet really needs.

We don't use any wheat or added sugar.
We do not use any artificial colourants, flavourings or genetically-modified ingredients.
We do not carry out any animal testing in the development of our food.

Thanks to our consistent work on our products and sustainability, we have already won several awards.

A peek behind the scenes

Here at Green Petfood, we want to do the best we can for our four-legged friends and for the world in which they live. For precisely this reason, in all of our products we combine animal health with sustainability. Take a look at how our food is produced and what the science says about it!

In the following, you can find out exactly what VeggieDog, InsectDog, and FairCat are all about:

VeggieDog

With VeggieDog, we have created a milestone in dog nutrition, as it 100% vegetarian and 99.99% vegan. With VeggieDog, we offer the possibility of giving your dog the best - WITHOUT meat. All ingredients are complementary and give your four-legged friend everything they need.

Why dogs can receive a vegetarian diet

Compared to wolves, dogs are much better equipped to digest starchy food (increased enzyme release)
Through the clever combination of different plant-based proteins, your dog's needs can actually be more effectively met than through meat proteins
For millennia, dogs have evolved at the side of humans, which has caused them to adapt to our living conditions

InsectDog

With InsectDog, we have created another alternative for providing your dog with all the nutrients they need. Insects are rich in protein and their cultivation is significantly less harmful to the environment and more cruelty-free than the conventional farming of cattle or pigs

Why insects?

They offer the perfect basis for hypoallergenic food, as they represent a rarely used and high-quality protein source in dog food
Compared to many other animal protein sources, insects are a highly sustainable alternative as their cultivation generates significantly less CO2
They don't just provide your dog with high-quality protein - they also deliver valuable fatty acids

FarmDog

With FarmDog, we wanted to create a solution for dog owners who want to feed their pet meat without compromising on animal welfare or a species-appropriate husbandry.

Why does our FarmDog chicken live more species-appropriate?

They have 30% more space
Our FarmDog chickens live in a natural barn structure, offering enrichment opportunities such as pecking stones and straw bales, winter gardens or open barns, perches and bedding for scratching and sand-bathing
These chickens grow much slower than chickens that are conventionally bred
No genetically-modified feed is used

FairCat

FairCat is made with fairness, happiness, and love. Because for our cat food we only use poultry and salmon as well as insects, for high-quality and environmentally-friendly protein sources. Topped off with clever finishing touches, there's something for every taste.
