Utah-made pet food & supplies

Pet food & treats

• K&K’s Bodacious Beer Biscuits – These great dog treats are made with spent, upcycled beer grain from Uinta brewing and local, sustainably-sourced ingredients. They have a great selection of different chews, jerky, and treats and they are all packaged plastic-free! And on top of that, 10% of your purchase is donated to animal rescue.
• Love Your Pet – Long-time Park City-based company that sells raw food for dogs and cats. Available meats are free-range bison, and wild elk or venison. No preservatives, additives, colorings or GMO’s.
• Ma & Paws Bakery – organic and raw foods, supplements, bakery treats, bones, and chews. Also sells leashes and collars for dogs and cats.
• Rocky Mountain Bully Chews – Chews, salmon strips, rabbit ears and feet, and sheep/lamb ears are sourced in the western U.S. and processed in West Jordan.

Recycle pet food & snack packaging

If you can’t tear the paper holding your pet food, it can’t be recycled with your regular recycling. If the pet food bag is labeled plastic #2 or #4, you can recycle it with your other plastic film recycling. Metal cans are recyclable.

There are only two places semi-locally that I have been able to find that collect any brand of pet food and snack packaging for recycling.

• Pet Supplies Plus – locations in Sandy and at Traverse Mountain in Lehi
• Some PetSmart locations have started accepting pet food packaging in stores, however this has not yet extended to the Salt Lake Valley.

Terracycle does have a handful of free mail-in programs for certain pet food brands, click here to see if the brand you use is one of them. If not, they sell a zero waste box to recycle any brand and size of pouch, bag, box, or container used for packaging pet food, treats, and vitamins.

Pet products

• Rocco & Roxie – This local company offers pet treats, shampoo, and products for cleaning up after your furry friends. Their Stain & Odor Eliminator spray has 110K+ reviews on Amazon; I’ve used it on carpet spots and it works like a charm. Odor is gone and the dog doesn’t return to the spot.

Where to donate pet supplies in Salt Lake City

• Salt Lake County Animals Services will accept donations of unused pet meds (non-controlled substances) and supplies.
• Any gently used pet supplies, including food and treats in the original container, can be donated to Best Friends or the Humane Society. They’ll also take any extra cleaning products you might have, like dish soap, laundry detergent, and paper towels.
• Sell items on KSL classifieds or in a specific hobbyist group forum like the WMAS (Wasatch Marine Aquarium Society).
