Towards Sustainable Pet Products
Responsible manufacturing extends far beyond delivering safe products with high quality ingredients - pet companies like ours have a responsibility to limit their carbon footprint and to try and make a difference for the environment. We’re all in this together!
At Austin and Kat we’ve always put pets before profits and we’re super proud to provide support to dogs and cats that don’t have a voice of their own. Mother Nature also needs our help and we’re working to give the planet a voice, too. It all starts with developing a keen awareness about the long-term impact of waste and pollution and spreading the word that small incremental changes can add up to so much more.
By taking steps to create more eco-friendly pet products, we’re trying to lead by example and help the pet industry move forward as a whole. From ethically sourced ingredients to sustainable packaging, we’re taking steps to reduce waste and limit the amount of trash contributed to landfills. Better yet, we’ve partnered with the leading voice in pet sustainability, the PSC, to educate ourselves on every aspect of a more sustainable lifestyle and manufacturing process. We still have a lot to learn about the most effective ways to reduce our impact, and we're excited to take you along on our journey as we learn and discover.
What is the PSC?
As a collaborative accelerator, the Pet Sustainability Coalition is a collection of like-minded and world renowned partners that educate, inspire, and push our industry on its journey toward sustainability.
The PSC has worked on a number of initiatives, including developing guidelines for sustainable pet products, reducing the use of plastic bags by pet owners, and promoting adoption instead of buying pets. Their campaign has been successful in reducing the number of animals euthanized each year and has helped increase the number of adoptions from shelters. We're proud to join them on their quest to help more animals while improving the environment.
we've made a committment
We've embraced sustainable manufacturing and the creation of products through an environmentally and socially responsible approach. We consider the full life-cycle of each product, from raw materials to end-of-life, and aim to minimize the negative environmental impact of manufacturing. This includes reducing waste, emissions,
and energy consumption, along with joining larger initiatives
So what does sustainable manufacturing look like?
Sustainable manufacturing is a process that reduces depletion or damage to the earth's natural resources. It is a process that renewable and recyclable resources whenever possible. In sustainable manufacturing, factory spaces are set up to use less energy and emit fewer pollutants. The goal is to produce goods in an environmentally responsible way while preserving the planet for future generations.
Using renewable energy sources, recycling and reusing materials, and reducing waste are key areas that we're trying to focus on.

When supplement shopping for plant based dog supplements it's important to remember not all antioxidant supplements are created equally. Your furry friend deserves the best, and the best above else means a clean and standardized extraction method. Standardized extracts consistently deliver the same profile of active compounds, giving your dog the best opportunity at experiencing benefits.
Over the years, a variety of different solvents have been used in the extraction of botanicals and natural products. While each method has its benefits and drawbacks associated with purity of extraction, there are some clear winners associated with safety and risk prevention for people and pets. We recommend

our lowest impact products
We're taking extra special care to reduce the footprint associated with every one of our products, but for those looking to make the biggest difference we've done the carbon calculations to determine what products have the lowest impact when purchased. What goes into this analysis? Everything from the distance and shipping method of our ingredients to the packaging components and manufacturing process. We look forward to reducing the impact of all of our products even further, but this is a great place to start!
