Too many people look after their own diet and carbon footprint without giving a second thought to what goes in their cat or dog's bowl. But all this is changing with a new generation of ethical pet foods, which are made with concern for the environment and animal welfare at all stages of the supply chain.
They include OrganiPets, which has just been praised by the Good Shopping Guide 2008 as being the UK's no.1 ethical pet food. What makes it different? Firstly, the main ingredient in OrganiPets food is human grade organic chicken, without any nasty artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Furthermore, no pesticides or fertilisers are used in the process. The foods are hypoallergenic and contain organic rice, rather than the usual wheat or soya as it’s easier to digest.
Made in Britain, most of the ingredients used are locally sourced in the UK, which reduces unnecessary food miles and supports British Farmers. Its contemporary packaging is also designed and produced in the UK and is recyclable.
