Most of WAG’s range is Kangaroo: As advocates of ethical consumption, sustainability and making the right choices for our doggo’s health, we want to shine a light on the reasons why Kangaroo meat is right for your dog.
REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Kangaroos have a much lower use of resources than traditional livestock and due to their soft pads, instead of hooves,
cause far less degradation to the earth and erosion to the soil.
KANGAROOS ARE NEVER FARMED:
Kangaroos are 100% wild. They can’t be domesticated, and zero facilities exist to farm and process them the same way we do traditional livestock. They live wild and free, traversing the Aussie outback of their own volition, living in huge herds and travelling enormous distances each day. Not a single pound of Kangaroo protein you see on shelves have been farmed – just wild-caught by professional hunters.
CONSERVATION PRACTICES:
The Kangaroo industry is sustainable and humane and works in close partnership with government and independent experts as well as conservation and environmental protection communities.
There are strict and regulated quotas of Kangaroo harvesting. Around 3% of Australia’s 50 million Kangaroos are used for meat production each year and out of the 48 species of Kangaroos in Australia, only 4 species can be commercially harvested.
