What are the ingredient origins of dry foods?Updated 3 days ago

We primarily source our ingredients from as close as possible, from Finland or the Nordic countries. Some ingredients are not produced for pet food use in nearby areas, but we still want to use them due to their nutritional value and health benefits.

In the tables below, you'll find the countries of origin for our dry food ingredients by production country. We keep the table up to date to the best of our knowledge and encourage our partners to develop transparency in the production process.

If multiple countries of origin are listed in the table, the primary origin for ingredient procurement is listed first, and the secondary origin is used if needed to ensure availability.
