What we stand for
We are on a mission to find the most sustainable and ethical way to provide our pets with wholesome ingredients that align with our values.
About us
Nutrition, redefined
Straits Nutrition
Our recipes are formulated to mimic the diet in the wild. A fundamental component of a dog and cat’s diet in the wild is raw muscle meat – and we add just that into our pet food. Another powerhouse ingredient that you see in our pet food is offal (organ meat) – a natural and essential source of vitamin & mineral to achieve a balanced diet for your pets.
Rest assured, no meat powders, meals or by-product are used in our pet food.
Ethically Sourced
Ethically sourced for better nutrition
We foster strong, long-term relationships with our farms & fisheries that humanely raise, sustainably grow, and responsibly process the ingredients that we use for better and consistent nutrition.
Sustainability
A sustainable future with alternative protein
What many of us may not know is that insect proteins are naturally found in the diets of many animals and we are now reintroducing sustainable insect protein into our pet food.
Insects are naturally higher in nutrition compared to meat and research has shown that insect protein such as black soldier larvae could contain up to 60% protein.
Furthermore, insects are a better bio-conversion compared to other livestock, making them the more sustainable option. Incorporating insect protein into pet food, we aim for a zero-waste system and to produce pet food in the most sustainable and socially impactful manner possible.
Transparency
Traceability matters
Pet food matters. Trace every ingredient back to its source with the batch code found on the bag.
A little bit about us
The story of Straits Pet Foods begins in 1826 when the Straits Settlement was formed, comprising of four distinct colonies: Penang, Malacca, Singapore and Labuan. Each colony was acquired for its commercial and naval qualities to take advantage of the spice and trading opportunities in the area. At that time, humans have already started keeping cats and dogs as pets. And over the years, cats and dogs have evolved from being farm animals to becoming members of our family.
This begs the question – Why should the best food only be available to humans?
As the world progresses, we lead busier lives and live in an increasingly populated world and so do our pets. Yet one thing remains constant – a cat’s and dog’s diet.
Now even more so, we understand the care and concern that goes into choosing the best nutrition for your companion. This is why we founded Straits Pet Foods – to develop products that combine the safety and convenience of dry food with the nutritional benefits of a natural diet, tailored to the convenience of modern day pet owners and pets without compromising on nutrition.
Located in the heart of Southeast Asia, Singapore is a global trading hub with access to major trading routes in the world. Our strategic location allows us access the best local farms and fisheries to attain the freshest ingredients that you see in your pet’s bowl. With vast ingredient options available to us locally, we are able to create recipes that stay true to a natural diet.
