Our Mission

The Environmental Problem 🐄

The pet food industry is estimated to be responsible for a quarter of the environmental impact of meat production.

Consumption of meat by our pets in the UK, Europe and USA is thought to contribute to more than 144 million tonnes of C02 emissions annually (that’s the equivalent of 31.3 million gas guzzling cars driven for a whole year - note: there’s 33 million cars in the UK…), with an average size dog being responsible for 770 kg CO2 a year.

This damaging impact of overconsumption of meat on the environment has become clear in recent years, as well as rising concerns on how farm animals are treated.

The Plastic Problem 🌊

Plastic has long been integral to the pet industry, especially in packaging, where it provides durability, protection, and shelf life extension for products like dog supplements and foods. While effective, the heavy reliance on plastic packaging contributes to significant environmental challenges.

Each year, the pet food industry produces more than 150,000 tons of plastic, much of which is difficult or impossible to recycle.

Although some plastics are technically recyclable, a substantial amount ultimately ends up in landfills, oceans and unmanaged waste facilities, where it accumulates and poses long-term risks to ecosystems and wildlife.

The Industry Problem 🏭

Finding dog supplement products filled with honest, natural ingredients can be a challenge.

Many dog supplements are plagued by pseudoscience, using ingredients with limited or no clinical research and are often not approved for dog consumption, with ingredient opacity making it hard to find clear nutritional details, active ingredient levels or ingredient benefit explanations.

The Sustainable Plant Science Solution 🌱

At Balgo we want to elevate your dog's health, vitality and longevity, using plant science. So our nutritionist and veterinary team select only human-grade, science backed ingredients derived from plants to create the healthiest dog supplements, in plastic free, compostable packs.


Scientific research has shown that dogs digest plant proteins well and that many of the essential nutrients from plants cannot be found in animal based products. Dogs became omnivores thousand of years ago, because of their domestication and close association with us humans. So they’re well suited to a plant-based supplements, treats and food, as the essential vitamins, minerals, phytochemical and antioxidants found in plants help keep their cells healthy, their body in balance and their immune system functioning at its best.

Our Ingredients ‍🍳

We use non-GMO raw materials which are ethically sourced along with cutting-edge synthetically produced active ingredients. 



Our supplements include dry extracts from plants (whenever we can source them), which are 10x more potent than standard plant powders. This means your dog gets a more effective supplement, containing consistent levels of active ingredients, ensuring they receive the same high-performing product with every chew. They also include real peanut butter making them easy to feed as a yummy reward or treat.

All our products are certified by The Vegan Society, so they‘re 100% vegan, helping to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions and animal cruelty. They also meet FEDIAF guidelines (European Pet Food Industry Federation).

Our Packaging ♻️

We use plastic free, compostable packs that minimise environmental impact without sacrificing quality or safety. They’re made with FSC & PEFC certified paper and the lining is produced from corn. 



Each pack displays the active ingredients and their inclusion levels on the front, as well as detailing on the back of the pack the health benefits of each active ingredient, giving dog parents full transparency and confidence when choosing supplements for their furry friend.
