Little Green Dog grew out of a desire to make the Earth a better place.
Chris, Kerina and their daughter, have always loved animals, and when they got their dog, Chloe, they quickly realised that they needed a more eco-friendly way to clean up after her. They soon discovered that there were no biodegradable or compostable dog poop bags on the market that met their needs, so they decided to get into business providing them.
As a family, it's really important to us to be looking after the earth for future generations, and as parents to lead by example.
Long story short: most of those "biodegradable" poop bags you see on shelves, aren't environmentally friendly at all. (Want an in-depth rundown of why not? Head here.)
Chloe had food sensitivities too. Itchy skin, an upset tummy, low energy, and nothing on the shelf helped her. So we went looking for a fix the same way we had with the bags, and when we couldn't find one, we worked with a manufacturer to formulate our own. The result is our hypoallergenic kibble: a single hydrolysed chicken protein, which just means the protein is broken into pieces too small for your dog's body to react to. It's grain-free and built around 6+ functional superfoods. Every bag comes with a 30-day Sensitivity Promise, so you can see how your dog does on it before you commit.
When Little Green Dog started, it was just a small side business, but as word spread about the high-quality home-compostable bags, demand grew. Now we're stocked in over 90 stores across Aotearoa, and hundreds of dogs around the country eat the kibble too.
Thanks to everyone who buys Little Green Dog poop bags and kibble, the world is a little bit cleaner, and a lot of dogs are a little more comfortable.
