We care
To give something back...
We started as a small Czech family business. Bowl after bowl we have become the European leader in the pet food industry. But big success comes with even bigger responsibility, and that’s why we’re doing our best to give something back and help others in need, using our influence and voice to raise important topics and make a difference. For pets, for humans, and for the environment.
Our focus
Environment
Reducing our footprint
We don’t claim to save the planet. What we do focus on is reducing the environmental impact of our business. From materials and production to waste and logistics. Step by step, through smarter choices and long-term investments.
Pets
Caring for animals, beyond the bowl
Pet wellbeing starts with what we feed them and continues beyond our products. Alongside high-quality pet food, we support shelters, adoption programs and animal welfare initiatives that help animals in need and promote responsible pet care.
People in need
Supporting those who need extra care
We support organizations that work with seniors, people with disabilities and others facing difficult life situations. From long-term partnerships to targeted therapeutic programs, we help where care and assistance really matter.
Neighbourhoods
Supporting the places where we operate
We support local projects in the communities around our sites and offices. Whether through grant programs or initiatives driven by our local teams, we help improve the places that surround our everyday work.
