Local, family owned pet food company Annamaet Petfoods working to help environment – The Bucks County Herald

A local, family owned pet food company, offering American made non-GMO pet foods, is working to help the environment.
Based in Hatfield, and founded by Rob and Mary Jo Downey in 1986, Annamaet Petfoods offers diets formulated by owner and CEO Rob Downey – an author and speaker with many nutritional studies published in peer-reviewed journals – along with an on-staff Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist.
Annamaet Petfoods has always been mindful of green business practices, but recently decided to do more to protect natural resources and the environment for future generations. “Annamaet’s pioneering efforts are paving the way for a more sustainable pet industry,” the company said.
Annamaet Petfoods has formulated an entire line of diets that utilize sustainable ingredients and are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. MSC is the gold standard when it comes to marine sustainability as they are able to trace their certified fish back to the boat on which they were caught.
Annamaet not only uses sustainable ingredients inside its products when possible, but its packaging is now degradable and sustainable as well. It’s made with Bio-Flex materials that are specifically engineered to biodegrade in landfills and during this process create green, renewable and sustainable energy. This allows its packaging to become a part of the circular economy and create value from what would otherwise simply be considered waste.
Packaging which is not manufactured with BioFlex will take up to 900 years to breakdown. BioFlex is now one of the most environmentally friendly solutions for packaging today.
Annamaet is named after Rob’s mother, Anna Mae, who had a real soft spot in her heart for animals.
Annamaet has been supporting small businesses in the area since opening 35 years ago, and is also involved with many local rescue organizations.
The mission of Annamaet Petfoods is to provide optimum nutrition in order to maximize the health and well-being of dogs and cats worldwide while maintaining a responsibility to the environment and its natural resources.
Annamaet Petfoods’ formulas are derived from over 35 years of nutritional research and involvement in canine athletes. Annamaet is manufactured in the United States and utilizes no ingredients from tainted sources. Its products are holistic and GMO-free as Annamaet maintains strict standards of quality control.
Annamaet’s current product line includes 15 dog food formulas, three cat food options, a treat line and four supplements.
