courage

Trying to compete in an established pet food industry is a bold and no easy task. We're setting new standards with vegan alternatives and environmentally friendly packaging. Our vision inspires us to go against the grain and make a positive impact on the world of dog nutrition.

We're fed up!

We are fed up with unhealthy animal products with false promises and terrible ecological footprints!

As dog lovers and entrepreneurs, we have only one choice: to do better! The truth is: The nutrition of our animal companions has an enormous ecological impact. In Germany, dog food sales exceed 500 million euros annually – and the meat industry profits greatly from a high meat content in dog food, even though dogs don't need it for their health. An average 15-kilogram dog produces around 630 kilograms of CO₂ annually when fed a conventional diet. Over 13 years, that adds up to a whopping 8.2 tons!

But many large pet food manufacturers pay little attention to sustainability. During our search for environmentally friendly packaging, it quickly became clear to us that many use so-called monolayer packaging – paper on the outside, plastic on the inside. The problem? After use, the materials are almost impossible to separate, making sustainable reuse impossible. At the same time, this packaging gives the impression of being more environmentally friendly than it actually is.

That wasn't an option for us.

Too much meat, too little sustainability.

Dog food often contains significantly more animal protein than the dog actually needs. The trend is toward "lots of meat, lots of offal, no carbohydrates." But our four-legged friends need far less protein than most people think. Cutting down on meat would reduce meat consumption by pets—with a positive impact on overall demand. In addition, many protein sources are produced abroad and transported through long supply chains before they reach the shelves. All of this not only harms the environment but also the health of our dogs.

We stand for true transparency, both in our packaging and in our ingredients and compositions.

So why not go the other way?

We say: There's another way! With our plant-based products, your dog gets everything he needs – and at the same time, you're making an important contribution to the environment. Our products are made in Germany, packaged plastic-free, and veterinarian-tested. They are nutritious, healthy, and made entirely without animal ingredients – without compromising on quality or freshness.

And when your package arrives climate-neutral with GoGreen, you know: every purchase makes a difference. Your dog will love it, and so will the world.

For everyone who truly loves animals.

Have you ever wondered why we love some and eat others? We all pet and love our dogs, treat them as part of the family—but what's really in the food we feed them every day?

With our products we send a clear message: love and respect for all animals – without exception.

Our production

As a startup, our motto is: as sustainable as possible, as pragmatic as necessary. We do everything we can to make both our production chains and our packaging as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible. As a young company, we repeatedly encounter limitations – legal requirements, purchase quantities, feasibility, and much more – and sometimes have no choice but to be pragmatic. It's a process, and we believe that together we can improve the animal feed industry step by step. For the animals and our planet.

Production with heart and mind

Our delicacies, like Rote Berta and others, are baked right around the corner from us in Markt Schwaben – with a lot of handcraft and a love for food. We rely on trusted partners in Germany and short supply chains to ensure the highest quality and freshness.

We only use what your dog truly enjoys and is good for: carefully selected, natural ingredients, veterinarian-approved, and completely free of artificial additives. A short list of ingredients speaks for itself – because transparency isn't just a word for us, it's a promise.

Sustainable packaging

Our plastic-free doypacks and block-bottom bags are made from a combination of strong kraft paper and innovative bio-films based on plant starch. They are fully compostable, food-safe, water-repellent, and offer optimal protection against air, moisture, and UV radiation. By using these materials, we consciously avoid fossil-based plastics and are setting a clear example for a sustainable future.

With every purchase, you actively contribute to reducing plastic waste. Together, we create a packaging solution that not only protects your products, but also our planet. Responsibility has never been so simple – or so effective.
