Cave Pets<\/a>, the newly launched pet nutrition brand with clinically-studied superfoods formulated to improve the health of pets and heal the planet, announced it has been designated as Regenerative Organic Certified\u00ae\u00a0(ROC\u2122) from the\u00a0Regenerative Organic Alliance.<\/a>\u00a0Cave Pets co-founder Jason Dewberry said the certification is significant because it ensures the brand is meeting the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.<\/div>\n

\u201cWe recognized the need for transparency and accountability in pet food production,\u201d <\/span><\/i>said Dewberry. <\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s not common knowledge that there is an \u2018ecological pawprint\u2019 associated with producing pet food. We believe it is our responsibility to our pets to be good stewards of the land and replenish the soil that produces the food we eat. Our goals include rebuilding topsoil, increasing carbon capture, and growing food in the most sustainable way possible to transform the health of pets and the planet.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The Regenerative Organic Certified standard was launched by Patagonia, Dr. Bronner\u2019s, and the Rodale Institute in 2019<\/strong> to set the world\u2019s highest bar for the way food and fiber are grown. The certification builds on existing organic standards in agriculture as well as requirements for healthy soil and farmworker and animal welfare practices. The organization certifies farms, ranches, and grower groups, and licenses companies who use ROC ingredients in their products.\u00a0In addition, the standard assures consumers their purchase of Regenerative Organic Certified products makes a positive impact at every level: environmental, ethical, and social. To earn certification, farmers and brands must first be USDA Organic Certified.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased that Cave Pets has joined more than 100 brands in recognizing the critical need for regenerative organic agriculture,\u201d<\/span><\/i> said Elizabeth Whitlow, Executive Director of Regenerative Organic Alliance. <\/span>\u201cThis is a massive step forward for the pet nutrition industry, and our expectation is that other brands in the category will follow suit by taking the steps to become Regenerative Organic Certified.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
