We love our planet as much as we love our dogs
Our Sustainable Choices
We Reduce Consumption
By delivering every 4 to 6 weeks we can reduce the number of deliveries required and therefore minimise the use of delivery materials
We Reuse our Materials
The materials that we have chosen to deliver the product can be reused, recycled or returned to us to be used again
We Use Recyclable Packaging
Our boxes are 100% recyclable as well as our ice gel packs. The insulation that we use is made of 100% compostable and biodegradable wool.
Resources required to produce 10kg of protein
Insects as a Sustainble Choice
Insects produce protein far more efficiently than farmed animals. Farming insects emits 96% less land and 94% less water but creates 100% of the protein. That’s why we include them in our meals - to reduce our reliance on livestock production. Over time, we hope to incorporate insects more and more into our meals.
Find Out MoreOur Reuse Initiative
In order to deliver our delicious meals as sustainably as possible, we will be launching a reuse initiative to collect the insulation and ice gels that we sent with each order. We will then sanitise and reuse these to keep your pup’s meals funky fresh when we deliver. If you’ve had at least 3 deliveries, simply contact us to get an appropriate return label and we will organise with you to collect your materials.

Minimising Waste
Pet food is responsible for 25% of the environmental impacts of meat production. We think that is barking mad. That is why we have crafted our meals to be full of sustainable bugs as well as utilising as many ingredients as we can that are the result of human food surplus - ingredients that are natural, traced and have the same quality and flavour as the ingredients that we consume, but that have been rejected due to small production defects. That way we can fuel your pup with all the goodness it needs to thrive without sacrificing our planet.

Create my planFrequently Asked Questions
HOW IS TUGGS MADE?
WHERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS SOURCED FROM?
IS TUGGS A SUBSCRIPTION?
HOW DOES A TUGGS PLAN WORK?
HOW DO I STORE THE MEALS?
Once opened, we recommend that the food is used within 2 days, with uneaten food kept in a container.
The meals can be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months, and each delivery will use roughly two to three loaves of bread worth of space in the freezer. We have flexible delivery plans if you feel that space could be an issue!
IS TUGGS SUITABLE FOR PUPPIES?
WHERE DO YOU DELIVER TO?
Note: for 2 day deliveries we can only ship on Monday - Wednesday due to being unable to deliver on Saturdays.
IS TUGGS PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?
The pouches that we use for our fresh recipes are currently not recyclable, but that's something that we're working to fix!
WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT TUGGS FOOD?
Long answer: Not only have our recipes been developed over a 12 month period from leading UK veterinary nutritionists to ensure that they are balanced and complete for dogs of all ages according to FEDIAF guidelines, we have also gone above and beyond to create a food that we believe is both the healthiest and most sustainable dog food in the UK. Our food is gently cooked to preserve the nutritional value and ensure there are no ’nasties’ (ie salmonella, bacteria etc) as well as being high in protein and free from grains, legumes, and any type of filler or artificial preservative. Our secret super power, insects, provide a protein source that is nutritionally comparable to beef whilst being much more sustainable by using far less land, water and emitting far fewer carbon emissions. In time, when there are more insect farms producing fresh insects, we hope to have insect-only recipes.
WHAT IS ‘FRESH’ DOG FOOD?
Our ‘fresh’ food is challenging the industry; we aim to start a ruffolution by offering meals that are freshly-prepared using human-grade, high-quality ingredients with no byproducts, fillers, grains or artificial flavours EVER. Only quality food using the freshest ingredients to prioritise your dog’s health. This category of food is a very new concept, and Tuggs is the first company in the UK to make it with insects. Think of it as freshly-prepared food that you would make at home if you had the time, with a secret super power (insects) making it all the more sustainable.
