Our Recipes

NUTRO™ recipes are driven by the power and vibrancy of nature.

- High-quality animal protein
- Real, recognizable ingredients
 

Made without:

- GMO Ingredients
- Chicken by-product meal
- Soy, corn or wheat
- Artificial colors and flavors 
- Artificial preservatives

Trace amounts of genetically modified ingredients may be present due to potential cross contact during manufacturing.

But we’re not resting on our laurels. We’ll continue working with nutritionists & sustainability experts to identify ways we can keep delivering great nutrition for our pets while also reducing their carbon pawprint.  

 

Our ultimate goal is to partner with suppliers who believe that nourishing pets shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet.

Our Sourcing

Pledge 4 Planet Supplier Partnerships

In this program, we are committed to engaging key suppliers to set targets and commit to addressing climate impact in their own supply chain. To date, we have seven key NUTRO™ suppliers who have committed to our Pledge 4 Planet program. Our long-term ambition is to mobilize all of our suppliers on climate action.

Regenerative Agriculture

We source barley for the dry food made in our North Carolina facilities from farmers who use practices that reduce soil disturbance, enhance crop diversity and/or maintain living roots year-round. These actions not only help grow nutrient rich food, but also give back to the earth. Some benefits of these practices may include: helping to restore soil health, trapping carbon, increasing biodiversity, reducing the usage of fertilizer, & improving water usage efficiency.

Our Production


Our legacy will be a world filled with healthy, happy pets and a cleaner future.

100% Clean Electricity

We purchase enough wind power from a wind farm in Texas to cover 100% of the electricity required for production in our owned US facilities.

Our Packaging

Zero Waste To Landfill At Our Owned Us Facilities

Our US owned facilities are zero waste to landfill. This means we don’t put operational waste into landfills, where it could lead to water contamination or the generation of excess methane gas emissions. 

All our factory waste streams are recycled, composted or, if necessary, incinerated to produce energy to be utilized.

We Want Our Pets To Have Long Lives. Not Our Packaging.

The aluminum cans for our canned wet dog products are 100% recyclable.

What Does Natural Mean To Nutro™?

As loving pet owners ourselves, the health and well-being of our pets is always our top priority. That’s why all NUTRO™ brand products are rich in nutrients, full of flavor and made with real, recognizable ingredients. As the popularity of natural pet food continues to grow, more and more pet food manufacturers are putting the term “natural” on their product labels. We understand that there is often confusion about what the term actually means for pet food products like those from NUTRO™.

NUTRO™ brand products adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). AAFCO guidelines are the leading standards in the pet food industry for product claims.

AAFCO defines “natural” as ingredients “derived from plant, animal or mined, unprocessed or subject to physical, heat, rendering, purification, extraction, hydrolysis, enzymolysis or fermentation, but not subjected to chemically synthetic process.”

Just like any food, it is important that your pet’s food is balanced to meet his or her nutritional needs. That’s why NUTRO™ brand products are made with natural ingredients plus added vitamins, minerals and nutrients that may not be found naturally, but are safe and necessary for your pet’s growth and overall health.

If you have any questions about any of our ingredients, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 1-800-833-5330 or https://www.nutro.com/contact-us.

This approach rates our sites on: child rights, compensation & benefits, discrimination, forced labor, freedom of association, health & well-being, issue reporting, and work hours.
