How to choose eco-friendly pet food

More and more people are choosing carefully what to put on their plates. But when it comes to cats and dogs, do we ever ask ourselves how sustainable their food is?

The good news is that today there are many options that allow us to nourish our pets well without forgetting the planet. Here are some key criteria for making informed choices.

Natural and traceable ingredients

Products with natural ingredients and a traceable supply chain reduce environmental impact and ensure quality. Brands such as Farmina or Applaws declare the origin of every ingredient and focus on meat from controlled farms or sustainable fishing.

Always look for transparent labels with short, recognizable ingredient lists.

Proteins from sustainable sources

Meat production has a high impact. Some brands are shifting toward alternative or more sustainable proteins:

• Responsibly sourced fish

• Reduction of red meat in favor of chicken or fish.

• In the future: insects, legumes, and plant-based sources (not yet widespread but growing).

Eco-friendly packaging

The food can be excellent, but if it is packed in non-recyclable plastic, it loses points. Here is what to prefer:

• Recyclable monomaterial bags

• Aluminum cans (infinitely recyclable).

• Compostable packaging

Companies with ethical and environmental commitment

Some brands are making bold choices, such as reducing emissions or collaborating with animal protection organizations.

• Farmina uses energy from renewable sources.

• WoofWoof and Fiboo focus on long-lasting accessories and recycled materials.

• Therapet chooses natural ingredients, reducing the use of harsh chemicals.

Your guide to choosing well

When you buy, ask yourself:

✔ Are the ingredients natural and clearly indicated?
✔ Are the protein sources sustainable?
✔ Is the packaging recyclable or compostable?
✔ Does the company communicate transparency and environmental commitment?
