Leading the Way in Sustainable Pet Food

Leading the Way in Sustainable Pet Food

At Percuro, our commitment to sustainability is more than just a buzzword; it is the foundation of what the company was built on from the very beginning. We believe in providing top-quality pet food that is just as gentle on the planet as it is on your dog’s tummy. Here is how we make that happen:

Certified Recyclable Packaging

From small Snappies pouches to the large 10kg bags of food, all Percuro’s packaging is certified recyclable. We understand that sustainability starts with attention to detail, and our choice of packaging, produced in Europe, reflects our dedication to reducing waste and promoting recycling. By choosing recyclable materials, we aim to minimize our environmental footprint and encourage our customers to do the same.

Black Soldier Fly Protein: The Future of Pet Food

One of the most innovative aspects of Percuro pet food is our use of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) protein instead of traditional meat sources. The environmental benefits of this choice are significant: 

  • Water Efficiency: BSF protein uses 99% less water compared to beef protein. 
  • Land Use: Insects require 92% less space than traditional livestock farming. 
  • Carbon Emissions: Producing BSF protein generates 99% less carbon than beef production. 

Additionally, insects are hypoallergenic and are not vectors for disease, making them a safe, healthy option for pets. Sourced from clean, ethical farms, BSF protein helps us provide a high-quality, sustainable alternative to meat-based pet foods.

European Sourcing and a Plant-Based Formula

We pride ourselves on sourcing 97% of our ingredients from within the EU, ensuring that our supply chain is as sustainable and transparent as possible. The only exceptions are algae oil, sourced from the USA for its superior quality, and yucca root, which is locally grown in Mexico. 

Furthermore, 72% of Percuro’s formula is plant-based, significantly reducing our environmental impact compared to many other pet food brands. Plant-based diets are not only more sustainable, but also provide essential nutrients that contribute to the overall health and well-being of your pet. 

Our Mission: A Sustainable Future for Pet Food 

Our commitment to sustainability is not a marketing gimmick; it is the foundation of our brand. From recyclable packaging and innovative protein sources to ethical ingredient sourcing, every aspect of Percuro is designed with the environment in mind. 

By choosing Percuro, you are not only giving your pet the world’s best nutrition, but also supporting a brand dedicated to making a positive impact on the planet. Together, we can create a sustainable future, one meal at a time.

"Our vets always compliment us on his shiny coat and good condition"

Our 4-year-old Cocker Spaniel had a really delicate stomach as a puppy, and we struggled to find something to suit him. Percuro Earth was a really wonderful discovery and totally suits his digestive system. He has been on this for a few years and our vets always compliment us on his shiny coat and good condition. We are often asked what we feed him and told to keep up the good work. The dry kibble is ideal for his typical spaniel behaviour of demanding his food in the morning and eventually eating it midday or even later. I am happy to leave the food out because it doesn’t attract insects and stays fresh all day if needed. The product meets our requirements for a happy dog and environmental credentials. Perfect!

'It's made it much easier feeding her!'

This is Stella! She came 2nd in the 2021 Cocker championship at just 2 years and 5 months! I’ve always struggled to feed her, especially kibble! She is now on Percuro, and she loves it, she will eat with no raw or anything!! It’s made it much easier feeding her! She looks amazing!!!!

'Thank you Percuro what a difference it has made'

Mae is a little cocker who suffers with allergies, environment and food, and now acid reflux. Mae has always been raw fed, and I’ve looked at lots of kibbles in the past, but everything has chicken in it. A friend (Nat) was trying Percuro and spoke very highly of it. With it being an insect protein, I thought it was worth the try, thinking of just adding it to her raw meal. Wow, what a difference it has made to Mae. She now has Percuro as her main full diet, split over 3 small meals a day.  We have no acid reflux, no food allergies and her environment allergies last summer seemed so much more controlled. This year we have started Canix, with hope to enter races next winter when I’m fitter 🤞🏻and we have also started some agility training. Thank you Percuro what a difference it has made.

It's actually amazing!

My dog, very minor celeb @the_foxy_margot is truly flourishing on your food. It's actually amazing. No hyperbole. Once a crusty, allergy-infested terrier, she is literally a different dog. Bursting with energy and her coat in particular, is in better condition than ever. Small breeds in particular can be really picky, but she literally wolfs it up!

We wouldn't change to anything else

We have been using Percuro for over two years. We were struggling with Sully's poo and couldn't find a food that made a difference, until we found Percuro. Sully's poo has not been a problem since and we wouldn't change to anything else.

We are so impressed

After more than a year of bad gastrointestinal issues, even on hypoallergenic food, Bram's been doing much better eating Percuro's insect-based kibble. He loves the Snappies and kibble! We were at the point of multiple vet visits (including emergency) a month and numerous tests never showing any cause, and just had to keep trying different foods on the assumption that it was dietary issue. One vet happened to have their own dog that eats an insect-based diet and recommend we give it a try. We are so impressed with (and grateful for!) the change in him and complete lack of flare-ups since he started eating it.

Percuro has corrected his tummy and digestive system

'I gave the Puppy food sample to a client of mine to try with his Rough Collie Puppy, 14 weeks old, who had a terrible digestive system, frequent runs after normal meat puppy food and was at a loss-no weight gain-poor little thing was in a real state. Percuro has corrected his tummy and digestive system and he’s gaining weight and doing so well on the food!'   -Melanie, owner of Fit and Fertile Ltd

Puppies are doing really well

Puppies are all doing really well, they have taken to the food from day one and clear the bowl every time it has been the easiest food to give them not one of them has been fussy. Every time I pick up my phone to take a photo, it has all gone and the bowl is clean!

I am very pleased, she looks pretty good now

Ivy's been on Percuro for a month or so now. Ivy is a puzzle-she loses weight/muscle very easily during the winter if she's on the wrong food. I'm very pleased with Percuro, she's put on weight and looks pretty good now. -Suzi Stephens

Plenty of energy all round-too much in some for mid summer!

I've been concerned about my dog kibble for awhile now so having heard good reports about Percuro insect based feed from several dog people I trust, I gave it a try. Really pleased with it so far. Plenty of energy all round-too much in some for mid summer! -and good firm poops! Julie Collins is fantastic for support too. She answers my many questions almost before I press send! I've been half raw/half kibble for a long while now but with the logistics of raw in the heat for a large pack of dogs, I'll be sticking to just kibble for now. -Nicki Hunter, Pursley Gundogs

My dogs look well, in fact a little too well

I have always used a 50/50 mixer with my raw, due to trialing and travelling with my dogs. It wasn't until the freezers went down in my house that I realized a novel protein complimented my raw feeding better than anticipated due to it's high protein. It also includes all the supplements I use in my raw feeding! My dogs look well, in fact a little too well. -Natalie Cannon, Ranked 2nd in The Spaniel Championships 2019, Respected B Panel Kennel Club Judge  

I can justify the price
Vellur

This 10 Kg dog food bag seems to be expensive. But I tend to believe that the fact that it has no artificial substances and the fact that it is hypoallergic can justify the price. The food for puppies weighs 10 kg and contains a large amount of hypoallergenic protein, clean of insects and free oats. It has no dyes or preservatives.

Happy doggo
Hannah

A healthy alternative protein coming from insect protein rather than animal. It is a good price, good for the planet and overall a decent dog food with a good composition. Happy we gave this a go!

What a difference this has made
Nigel

What a difference this has made! My little Griffon started to scratch and over time it got worse. We tried various things, but with no luck. Then I found Percuro. Lulu has been on this now for 3 months and the difference in her has been unbelievable.

Happy Boys
Martin

We started feeding the boys @percuro.earth a few months ago.Since then Herbie has not skipped one meal and actually looks excited when he sees his bowl. The enthusiasm Dave shows when he hears me opening the food is off the charts.All in all, its a thumbs up from us.

Great insect protein dry dog food
Mishka

One of my collies has a pretty sensitive digestive system so we have to be careful what we feed him, but this food didn't upset him in any way which is great. The food seems to be made from top quality ingredients and comes in a bag which is resealable to keep the food fresh.
