DoggieBag is the first product from The Conscious Pet and with it, the Austin-based pet food company is making its care for pets and the planet apparent. This unique pet food formula is made from local, upcycled restaurant kitchen scraps, effectively repurposing human-grade ingredients and preventing them from going to waste.
Some of the ingredients that go into making the sustainable dog food product include whole chicken and pork, fruits and vegetables, as well as a vitamin and mineral supplement mix. DoggieBag is dog food that's been gently cooked and it contains no artificial ingredients, animal meals, grains or legumes.
The eco-friendly pet food is packaged in completely compostable bags, to further minimize its impact on the environment.
