Say no to plastic.


It’s an inconvenient fact that packaging makes up one third of the rubbish going to landfill. Like you, we care about our world and local area. That’s why Whoa Nelly! is committed to environmentally friendly business practices. 

  We are Australia's ONLY plastic free dog food!

Instead of using plastic, our packaging is made from rapidly renewable cane pulp (a by-product of the sugar industry). It takes around 3 months to compost compared to up to 450 years for plastics.

100% biodegradable,
because it’s better. 

Plastic free also means BPA free. This harmful chemical has just been declared a toxic substance by Canada and is linked with cancer. Freezing plastic actually increases the amount of BPA that transfers into the food. Frozen dog food should not be kept in plastic!

Our delivery packaging is also 100% biodegradable. We use cardboard boxes insulated with eco-friendly wool, which are then sealed with biodegradable tape. Everything is biodegradable, or recyclable if you prefer. We make being eco-friendly easy!

 

Here's what to do with the delivery box:
🌿 Compost it! Feed the worms!
♻️ Put it in your recycling
🙋‍♀️ Leave it out next time and we'll sanitise and re-use the liners
