What to buy at Better Food: Dog and cat food that’s good for your pet, and kinder to the planet, including an organic range

Edgard & Cooper do pet food differently – putting a paw in the direction to be the most sustainable pet food company, through better sourcing, lower packaging waste and reducing their carbon footprint.

Frustrated by the lack of tasty, healthy options for their dogs Edgard and Cooper, founders Louis and Koen, along with friend Jürgen set about creating a nutritious product with simple ingredients: lots of fresh meat, fruit and veg, and a few healthy extras. Never any dried and highly-processed meat meal.

And it doesn’t stop at ingredients. All their wet food is packed in 100% recyclable aluminium and our dry food packaging is made from 100% biodegradable materials – a mix of FSC-paper and an innovative bioplastic made from potatoes – printed with 100% water-based inks.

Every purchase contributes to their charitable commitment of 1% of sales donated to The Edgard & Cooper Foundation, which since launch has raised tens of thousands of pounds to help the Dog Care Clinic in Sri Lanka.

Mission and values: Edgard & Cooper are on a mission to do pet food differently, and become the most sustainable pet food company in the world! Read about their ambitious Zero Pawprint Plan to discover more about how they intend to get there.

Their Zero Pawprint Plan shows us that they’re the kind of company that we want to be working with, and we’re exciting to see so many organic lines and brilliant packaging innovations already taking shape.
