What Edgard & Cooper actually does

Edgard & Cooper makes dog and cat food built around fresh meat and real ingredients, sold direct to pet owners and through retail. Alongside the product itself, the company runs the Edgard & Cooper Foundation, funded by a fixed 1% of sales rather than a variable share of profit, specifically so donations stay consistent even in leaner years.

Where the impact work shows up

  • Animal welfare partners: funding for organizations including Mayhew, People For Animals India, Humane Society International, AfriPaw, and Dharamshala Animal Rescue.
  • Veterinary training: funding to train local vets and vet students in regions with limited animal care infrastructure.
  • Packaging reduction: dry food bags made with a minimum of 85% paper, working toward fully recyclable or reusable packaging.
