Sustainable Sourcing

Good Food. Less Waste. Smaller Pawprint.

We started Dog & Whistle because we believed you shouldn't have to choose between feeding your dog well and treating the planet well. Turns out, you don't.

What Upcycled Actually Means

Upcycled ingredients are human-grade food products that would otherwise go to waste — not because they're lower quality, but because of cosmetic imperfections, surplus supply, or processing byproducts. We source these ingredients, verify they meet human-grade standards, and build them into recipes your dog goes absolutely wild for.

Where Our Ingredients Come From

Every ingredient in a Dog & Whistle recipe is human-grade and traceable. Our proteins — chicken, lamb, sirloin beef, salmon, pork, turkey — come from USDA-certified suppliers. Our produce is sourced fresh and locally whenever possible.

Nevada's first carbon-neutral pet wellness company didn't get that distinction by accident. We track our sourcing footprint, minimize packaging waste, and produce everything in-house at our Las Vegas kitchen — fewer shipping legs, less fuel, tighter quality control.

Why In-House Production Matters

Most pet food companies outsource manufacturing. We don't. Every Dog & Whistle pouch is produced in our own human-grade kitchen in Las Vegas. That means we control every step — from ingredient intake to the final vacuum seal. No middlemen. No mystery.
