Blackwood Cares
Our family-operated business is committed to three primary areas: pets, community & the environment.
When it comes to our four-legged pals, we’re dedicated to crafting super-premium pet foods for U.S. and international markets. Our top-of-the-line ingredient options and state-of-the-art American manufacturing operations ensure the quality of every recipe we produce.
We realize sometimes pets can find themselves in situations in which healthy food options are not always available. This is why we partner with various organization across the United States to keep dog & cat bowls filled with our nutritious formulas. We also strive to support our neighbors. Our company has deep roots in Ohio, New York & Wisconsin and so we try to remain involved in community efforts and fundraisers in each area and beyond.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability has become an important focus for Blackwood Pet Food. In the last decade, we have seen the growing negative effects of pollution, low rates of recycling and the use of non-renewable packaging. This is why we are heavily examining our own packaging formats, materials and operations to ensure they conform to our newly founded environmental promises. Our team is actively working to renew, reformat and reduce. So, what does this mean?
- Renew: Our Operations & Marketing teams are diligently scouting innovative partners that offer packaging materials crafted from resources that can be renewed for a circular economy
- Reformat: The Marketing & Brand teams are developing new designs that can utilize sustainable materials to replace non-recyclable materials
- Reduce: We are in constant communications about minimizing our packaging to reduce waste while still offering all the products you have come to know & love
Through the collaboration of our team, we’re confident we can achieve our promise to transition to new, sustainable packaging by 2023. Along the way, we’ll continue to research ways to improve additional sustainable strategies, such as efficient use of water & electricity.
