About Shameless Pets
In 2018 the folks behind Shameless Pets, James and Alex, challenged themselves to bring value to the imperfect and surplus ingredients currently left out of our food system. They were pretty shaken up when they learned how much nutritious food gets tossed out in the country… over 63 million tons of it! After quite a bit of experimentation, they created a line of treats for dogs that taste incredible, make our furry friends feel great, and upcycle nutritious ingredients that would have otherwise been wasted. Since then, they’ve added 4 new lines of dog treats and cat treats to the mix. This is just the beginning for Shameless Pets. They’re going to divert more and more of those overlooked ingredients into joyful moments, with a goal of upcycling 5 million pounds of food by 2025. Meanwhile, they’ll continue to develop recipes to make you and your pet’s life easier, more fun, and more delicious.
