Our Irish Suppliers
Making our balanced & complete healthy dog food recipes is a dedicated, loving craft. We work with a variety of brilliant Irish suppliers and use only the very best quality ingredients to make our meals. We have established, trusting relationships with each of them.

Highly-precise traceability is, naturally, a given.
Our Irish carrots, broccoli, sweet potato, turnips and cauliflower are all prepared fresh every week by this local family-run business.
Another family-run business, based right beside us. All of our beef & lamb mince for our recipes travels all of 1 mile down the road, fresh for every weekly cook. We see the livestock in the surrounding fields here in the Mourne Mountains, so we can take constant comfort in our welfare, traceability and sustainability standards being met.
