Mission statement.

For us at The Dog Grocer, reducing the environmental impact of owning a dog goes to the very heart of what we do.

As we’ve covered in some of our blog posts, unfortunately dog ownership is not always compatible with environmental friendliness and it can be tricky to balance looking after our best four legged friends whilst also trying to reduce our impact on
the environment.

That’s why at Jess Fox and Hound the Dog Grocer, we made the decision early on to focus our efforts on providing a route to dog ownership that doesn’t compromise care for the planet.

In order to do this, at the Dog Grocer, we make the following promises to you:

1) To always prioritise buying products that are made from recycled, re-used materials, or which otherwise help you work towards a zero-waste lifestyle. Where this isn’t possible, we will aim to minimise the waste that we accrue through our purchases.
2) To continue to expand our refillable treat and food range, to give you as many packaging free options as possible.
3) To work with pet product manufacturers to reduce the amount of waste in the production line, and to encourage the development of eco-friendly alternatives to current popular products.
4) To act as a local circular economy hub for dog products through our Jess Lost and Found preloved rack.
5) To educate you, and the wider dog owning community, about the positive steps you can take to develop a more eco friendly lifestyle for you and your dog.
