Packaging Information
Environmentally Friendly Packaging
As a company that prides itself on ethically sourced raw food for working dogs, we are also very passionate about the environment. Wrappers and packaging create a lot of waste, most of which ends up in landfill and will never break down.
All our product packaging is recyclable (excludes some bagged items). We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint across every aspect of our business.
Vegetable Based Inks
Our Paleo Plus, Classic and Essential range sleeves, and card inserts for bagged items, all use eco friendly vegetable based inks.
All packs are leak proof, freezer safe and have passed intensive rounds of internal testing. They stand up well to the rigours of our dog food production, freezing and couriers.
We know our customers support our stance on ethical products. We also know that they are as passionate about the environment as we are.

Some of our bones and carcasses are still double-bagged for now but we are searching for suitable environmentally friendly packaging.
A large Woolcool box holds up to 24kg. A small Woolcool box holds 8-16kg.
If you want to help us minimise our packaging please order in these volumes; 16kg, 20-24kg, 36-40kg, 48kg 60-64kg
**calculations based on minced packs, whole items take up more space**
Please contact us prior to ordering if you have questions about whole items and space, we can advise on the best option.

Woolcool Eco-Friendly Shipping Boxes
As the first raw dog food company to introduce environmentally friendly WoolCool boxes in Aug 2017, we are very happy to announce that we have moved all orders to WoolCool as standard. This will reduce our landfill contribution by over 80%. This is a massive reduction in waste as we continue to strive to be ever-conscious of our environmental impact. WoolCool has proven to perform better than polystyrene at keeping our products frozen in transit. In addition to this, it reduces our environmental impact while doing so. The team at Paleo Ridge are very proud of this achievement and we know our customers support this too.
As an Ethical minded company that already uses compostable boxes for all our minced products, we are very excited to offer an alternative to polystyrene boxes. When it comes to the environment, Paleo Ridge choose to lead by example. We are continuously researching ways to challenge existing processes to be cleaner and greener. We must all do our bit, simply ignoring growing issues with plastic is not an option for us.
"Our high performance insulated packaging is designed specifically for direct deliveries of chilled and frozen foods including meat boxes. Woolcool has been rigorously tested and proven to keep produce within the temperature ranges required by the Food Standards Agency"
We have also rigorously tested these boxes and we are very happy to say they have exceeded all of our expectations. They are available on the website at checkout.
