Sustainability
at our Core

We want to have a positive impact on your pet's health and care for the environment while doing do.

Earth-Friendly & Sustainable 

The meat-based diets of dogs use up a lot of resources including land, energy, and water and this is a main reason a dog’s environmental footprint can be huge! Additionally, extra things a dog can have like accessories, toys and grooming items, the environmental impact grows again.

How is Anipal Sustainable?

We reduce impact. We choose novel, animal free proteins where possible in all of our products, as opposed to putting added pressure on the animal protein industry.

Learn About Our Proteins And Their Environmental Impact

Insect Protein

Unlike a household fly, the black soldier fly (BSF) is not a pest, it is a highly productive and nutritious powerhouse. Insects are natural to dogs and are just as nutritious as beef, chicken or fish, and just as delicious. The larvae are really palatable, and many dogs love to eat them directly.

98% less land

96% less water

50 tonnes less of CO2 emissions

ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Relies on far less resources than traditional livestock proteins

In fact, 98% less land, 96% less water and less energy, while also producing significantly less waste.

Offsets CO2 emissions

Each tonne of insect protein offsets 50 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Harvested at its most nutritional phase

As larvae - then ground down to form insect meal which is baked into delicious dog treats.

Australian Organic Seaweed

Sourced from Australia's only organic, human-grade sustainable farm on the south coast of New South Wales, the Ulva species (seaweed) is an alternate source of nutrition for your furry friends.

Grows 50x faster

Sequesters 50x more CO2 than trees

ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Grows 50 X faster than land crops

50 times more seaweed can be produced in a hectare than wheat and 10 times more protein per hectare than cattle farms.

Offsets CO2 emissions

Each kg of seaweed has captured 1.5kg of CO2, and some coastal marine systems can absorb carbon up to 50 x more than land based forests.

Saving land use, water use and coastal pollution

With fast growth rate of seaweed, 100 tonnes can be produces with no roots, shoots or waste products making it extremely earth-friendly.
