Providing a home for a pet is a large undertaking, and it from the moment you say, “I Do” to pet parenting it is your duty to power them up each day with great food, and fresh water. Love, hugs, affection, kind words, and toys all become part of pet parenting as well and all deepen your commitment to their sweet little personalities. Whenever we took Bella from a shelter we had so many choices for nutrition, and trust me, we tried a lot, but we decided that there is a power in natural nutrition and the more simplistic the eats we provide her, the better it would be for her indoor health. Imagine the power f natural nutrition in your cat’s life, what would it mean to them and to you?

Have you ever wondered what happens to the things you toss into your recycle bin every week? It’s a habit many of us do without even thinking about ever since many communities have adopted curbside recycling programs. But have you ever stopped to think about the impact each item has and exactly what they do with it? Once it’s gone we have no idea about its usefulness or it’s overall impact on the environment. I believe in reducing waste from the outset, but sometimes you can’t avoid it. This is why recycling is so important for our environment. We recycle a lot of containers, boxes, and plastic, especially in our kitchen, but one of our biggest items that I have always wondered if they could even be recycled are dog food bags. Well, it turns out you can. And not only can you recycle a Wellness dog food bag, you can help support your favorite charity when you do. Wellness Recycle Program Wellness is dedicated to long-term sustainability to support our planet. Their Wellness Recycle Program is a partnership with TerraCycle^®. In fact, Wellness is the first US-based pet food company to partner with TerraCycle. How it works: Any person, organization or school can register for free with TerraCycle. Once you are registered, simply enroll in the Wellness Recycle Program. You can recycle any Wellness^® TruFood^®, CORE^®, and Complete Health^® packaging through the program. From there you can request a shipping label to ship your empty pet food packaging to TerraCycle (it’s free). Once received, the packaging is shredded and melted into hard plastic that is then remolded to make new recycled products. This helps eliminate waste and for every shipment over 2 lbs that you send in, you will receive TerraCycle points that can be redeemed for charitable gifts, product bundles or converted to cash that you can donate to a school or non-profit of your choice. Each lb of waste is equal to 100 TerraPoints. How cool is that? Join the Wellness Recycle Program and help eliminate waste while supporting your local school or favorite charity.

Did you know that Wellness was the first pet food company to partner with TerraCycle® in the U.S.?  This program encourages pet parents, schools and organizations to mail their empty Wellness pet food packaging free of charge and earn gifts or cash for their favorite non-profit or school! Good nutrition for the pets we love while being kind to environment…what could be better?

Did you know that Wellness was the first pet food company that took the initiative to fight to keep their packing from ending up in landfills? They are! They reached out to TerraCycle^® and came up with a free program that gives pet parents, organization, and schools a monetary incentive to mail empty Wellness pet food packaging at no cost to them and in return, they can earn cash or gifts for their favorite school or non-profit! Yes, they get paid for sending what would typically end up as trash, so everyone wins! For each pound of waste that is sent in, you’ll receive 100 TerraCycle points. They currently accept any Wellness® Complete Health™ and Wellness® Complete Health™ Grain Free dry food packaging, Wellness® CORE dry food packaging, and Wellness® TruFood® Baked Blends dry food packaging. Earn Cash for Your School or Organization This program would make an excellent classroom or schoolwide project!  Or, get together your dog club members, or other community group and sign up.  The rewards can let you help others just by recycling. While your pet is enjoying the health benefits of eating Wellness which is packed with natural ingredients, super nutrients, better nutrition and conscious ingredient sourcing, you’ll profit by recycling through the TerraCycle program! Plus, you’ll see the signs of true pet health and wellbeing in your pet as well with softer fur and healthier teeth. Pets love the hearty animal proteins including beef and salmon. My girls are eating lamb, and it seems to be suiting them well. It’s also grain-free and has healthy carbs, so they’re spoiled by the full-flavors of the high-quality proteins in their food.

The natural pet food brand has announced the expansion of their partnership with global recycling leader, TerraCycle. As part of the free program, pet parents nationally can recycle their Wellness Complete Health, Wellness CORE and Wellness TruFood dry packaging for dogs and cats, either at participating pet food retailers, or by shipping their empty pet food bags directly to TerraCycle in exchange for points that can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts.
