For generations, Interquell petfood has stood for healthy and varied pet food and has assumed responsibility for people, animals and the environment. We love animals and we respect nature. So we want every pet to have a long, healthy and happy life. Every day we work to create species-appropriate and sustainable pet food. We also strive to minimise our environmental footprint. Where possible, we source our animal-based ingredients from livestock raised on high-welfare regional farms. We are also developing new products with alternative protein sources, such as insects. We support active animal and species conservation, focussing our efforts on innovative projects associated with the protection of pets, farm and wild animals. We also promote the use of office dogs. At our Wehringen site, we already have 21 dogs helping to create a pleasant working environment.

Our sustainability initiative is an integrated concept and central driving force for the dynamic and successful development of our company with the aim of creating a more sustainable future.

Biofilter system
Filtering the air extracted from the production halls
By constructing a biofilter system we are now able to biologically purify the extract air from production. The warm air extracted from the production halls (which smells of dog food) is routed through a bed of wood chips. This cools the air entirely naturally and filters it so that only fresh, clean air comes out at the other end. This avoids unpleasant odours being released into our environment.
