Raw dog food firm boosts production capacity by 55%

 

Paleo Ridge, producer of ethically sourced raw dog food, has announced a significant expansion in production capacity, increasing output by 55%, following investment in advanced semi-automated technology and sustainable packaging innovation.

 

The expansion marks the latest milestone in Paleo Ridge’s continued growth trajectory, with the company almost doubling in size over the past five years. This investment underpins the brand’s long-term commitment to improving product availability, maintaining exceptional quality standards, and supporting its growing network of retail and trade partners.

 

CEO Tyler Daly said: “Our mission has always been to deliver the highest quality raw food for dogs, while maintaining full transparency and sustainability. This latest investment ensures that we can keep pace with rising demand without compromising on quality, ethics, or environmental responsibility. It’s all about creating a better experience for our customers and their dogs.”

 

Since its founding, Paleo Ridge has been driven by a passion for canine health and a commitment to ethical sourcing. Over the years, the brand has evolved from a small, hand-packing operation into one of the UK’s most advanced raw food producers. The new semi-automated production lines streamline mixing, portioning, and packaging, improving consistency, efficiency, and stock availability.

 

Equally important is the company’s innovation in eco-friendly packaging. Following extensive research and development, Paleo Ridge has introduced a new paper-based tray system with a secure seal, eliminating leaks and enhancing convenience for customers, while maintaining the brand’s strong environmental values. The new packaging is recyclable, sturdy, and designed to perform through the entire supply chain, from factory to freezer.

 

These production and packaging developments come as the UK’s raw feeding sector continues to expand rapidly. Once a niche market, raw feeding is now one of the fastest-growing categories in the pet food industry, driven by consumer demand for transparency, natural ingredients, and premium nutrition.

 

Tyler added: “We’ve worked hard to ensure that our growth benefits everyone from our staff and suppliers to our retail partners and end customers. By improving efficiency and capacity, we can maintain high stock levels across our best-selling ranges, giving our partners the reliability and confidence they need.”

 

Looking ahead, Paleo Ridge will continue to strengthen its relationships with independent stockists, retailers and direct-to-consumer channels while expanding within the UK.
