We’re Making the Switch

Why Are We Changing?
Because the world is changing. And Petcurean is committed to being a leader in sustainability. One of the greatest opportunities is with our packaging. Right now, 99% of all pet food and treat packaging ends up in the landfill. Switching to 100% recyclable packaging supports our Impact Area: Protecting the Planet. Making this switch also supports our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 12: Responsible Consumptions & Production and SDG 13: Climate Action.
