Our take

Consumers are becoming more aware of their pets’ dietary requirements and overall health as they spend more time with furry companions. Edgard & Cooper is a purpose-driven cat and dog food brand that taps into market trends for healthier, humanised pet food by providing dry food containing only natural, nutritious ingredients and fresh meat. Its product is boosted with healthy extras and gently cooked with minimal process to retain maximum nutritional value.

The company has strong environmental and ethical values at its core. In 2022, the company gained B Corp certification. Through its charity, the Edgard & Cooper Foundation, one per cent of all sales are donated to international pet welfare projects. Upwards of €1M has been made available in this way for charitable purposes to date. It also works hard toward sustainability goals; all of its packaging is made from 100% biodegradable and bioplastic materials.

Edgard & Cooper is currently focusing on becoming the world’s most sustainable pet company with its 'Zero Pawprint Plan' - a strategy to ensure it achieves its goal to make a positive impact on the planet by 2025. The company intends to invest recent funds to accelerate product innovation and continue growing in the competitive Pan-European pet food category.
