Ethics

Paleo Ridge has always been extremely focused on quality products. We believe that without using quality ingredients, you can't possibly create quality products. Almost in every scenario, quality in meat is paralleled with rearing and slaughter methods, followed by processing with the highest possible standards. We strongly believe in careful, ethical and sustainable sourcing of meat and ensure that every supplier complies with our own unique set of parameters and requirements surrounding welfare, ethics and sustainability.

We carry out due diligence on every supplier we use, without compromise. With a dedicated and passionate team of very experienced industry professionals, we make sure that our very strict requirements surrounding welfare, ethics and sustainability, are adhered to. Only those meeting our very strict standards, become suppliers.

Animal welfare is the highest priority when it comes to our sourcing. Intensive factory farming goes hand in hand with poor animal welfare and unsatisfactory conditions. We will not support or purchase from any supplier who fails to meet the high standards we set. All our meat is vet checked at source. We only use human grade ingredients.

At Paleo Ridge, we have little interest in being anything but the very best. It is by offering your beloved dogs the best and most healthy diet available that we guarantee the future of our award-winning family business. Part of this process is endeavouring to stay at the cutting-edge of science and research, ensuring we continue to develop a growing range of the most natural, nutritious meals for your dogs.

Our ethos is very much based upon what a dog would have eaten naturally in the wild. The very basics of animal husbandry dictate that animals are more healthy when fed a fresh, species appropriate diet, one that they have evolved over countless millennia to eat. In the case of the dog, this a diet of raw meat, organ and bone.
