Family-Run Chomp & Chew Invests in Sustainability
Oct 2, 2026
Leominster-based dog treat specialists, Chomp & Chew, combine responsibly sourced packaging and natural ingredients
Herefordshire, England, United Kingdom, October 2, 2026 -- Chomp & Chew, a family-run dog treat company based in Herefordshire specialising in natural long-lasting chews and air-dried treats, has highlighted its approach towards sustainability, using FSC-approved packaging, minimising plastics and sourcing meat-industry by-products that are nutritious treats for pets rather than allowing usable materials to go to waste.
The family-run business, which supplies UK-wide customers from its base in Hope Under Dinmore, near Leominster, focuses on ethical sourcing and responsible practices, making it easier for dog lovers to buy natural, healthy treats they feel comfortable giving to their four-legged friends.
How Chomp & Chew Showcases an Alternative to Mass-Produced Dog Treats
Managing Director Chris Stone at Chomp & Chew explains that ‘We know that, for a huge proportion of animal owners, looking after their health, protecting the parks and woods they walk their dogs in, and making good choices in terms of canine nutrition, enrichment and enjoyment are incredibly important, and as doggy people ourselves, we share these values.
Our emphasis is on providing treats that are genuinely beneficial for dogs, making thoughtful decisions about where we source our products, how they are prepared and packaged, and the materials we use when we’re sending a Chomper Box®, a bag of meat strips or puppy training treats to our customers.’
The firm’s Primal range is an example of this approach in action. It features air-dried treats produced at low temperatures, which repurpose meat industry by-products into treats with preserved nutrients and an extended shelf life, sourced from trusted UK and EU suppliers.
Orders are sent in FSC-approved packaging, while the business actively works to further minimise its use of plastic and looks to use recyclable or reusable materials wherever possible.
All dog chews and treats from Chomp & Chew are free of rawhide, artificial preservatives and additives, with simple, recognisable ingredients. Ranges include specific products for large breeds, puppies, and dogs with intolerances or that require hypoallergenic diets.
Why Ethical Sourcing Matters to Chomp & Chew Customers
For Chomp & Chew, ethical sourcing has always been at the heart of the business. Research published in Psychology Today has also shown that pet ownership can increase a sense of connection with nature, and that dog lovers are often more environmentally conscious.
This philosophy extends beyond the business’s stance on plastics, recyclable materials and sustainable dog treats. Chomp & Chew regularly supports rescue centres and animal charities, as part of the family-run business’s commitment to improving the lives of dogs and their humans. The Chomp & Chew promise includes:
- Excluding rawhide, a by-product of the leather industry
- Not selling anything the owners wouldn’t happily give to their own dogs
- Working continuously to support rescues and animal charities
Chris adds, ‘As dog owners ourselves, we’re passionate about producing treats that owners know are good for their pet’s well-being, and that dogs absolutely love to gnaw on. As a small business we’re also conscious that every company has decisions to make about the products it sells and the materials it uses.
We apply our values to all of those choices, whether we’re looking at ways to swap single-use plastics with recycled materials, publish more of our free guides to dog nutrition, training and adoption, or supporting one of the many incredible rescue organisations that exist here in the UK.’
Combining natural treats, responsible packaging, ethical sourcing and support for animal charities, the business intends to continue advocating for an approach that is based around both canine well-being and having a minimal environmental footprint.
About the company: Chomp & Chew is a UK-based, family-run dog treat company specialising in natural, air-dried chews and treats that are free from artificial additives and rawhide.

David Eustace mulls international targets as Colourful King secures Group Three glory
David Eustace has not ruled out international targets for his crack sprinter Colourful King after he ran riot to win the Group Three National Day Cup (1,000m) at Sha Tin on Thursday. Sent off the $2.2 favourite, those who took skinny odds about Colourful King had very few worries, with the Blue Point galloper breaking well and sitting handy behind duelling leaders Beauty Waves and Magical Control. The latter won that argument handily at the 400m pole, but he was always being stalked by Colourful...
Manchester City scandal risks damaging Premier League’s booming global brand
The Premier League has won a lengthy legal battle with Manchester City over financial impropriety, but the consequences could leave lasting damage for a league that has long been the envy of world football. City face severe sanctions after being found guilty of more than 100 charges between 2009 and 2018, with an independent commission exposing “sham” contracts to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce costs by more than £900 million (US$1.2 billion). A hefty points deduction...
Asian Games: China’s Wang Xiyu ousts Philippines top seed Alexandra Eala in semi-finals
Philippines tennis star Alexandra Eala saw her bid for Asian Games gold, and qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, end in Thursday’s semi-finals after a stunning 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 loss to China’s world No 85 Wang Xiyu. Top seed and world No 18 Eala was looking to become the first woman from the Philippines to win the title. The 21-year-old will instead go home with only a bronze medal, which she had also won at the last Games in Hangzhou, where she also won bronze in the mixed...
Tourists, locals brave the heat to enjoy National Day festivities at Sha Tin Racecourse
Sha Tin Racecourse was filled with music, acrobatic displays and cheering on Thursday as some 10,000 tourists and local residents gathered to celebrate National Day. Despite Hong Kong sweltering in 33-degree Celsius (91.4 Fahrenheit) heat on October 1, spectators fanned themselves under clear morning skies, eagerly awaiting special performances for the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the marquee Group 3 National Day Cup. Jockey Club boss Winfried...
Asian Games, day 12: Hong Kong cyclists add track silvers to sailing, squash medals
Hong Kong’s athletes edged the city ever closer to another historic medal haul at the Asian Games on Thursday, with the cyclists, sailors and men’s squash team all adding to the tally. The women’s squash team have guaranteed themselves at least a silver on Friday, while tennis star Coleman Wong Chak-lam eased into the semi-finals of the men’s singles, and in rugby sevens, the men began the defence of their title with two dominant performances in Nagoya. Ever since the schedule came out, there...
Asian Games: Eala takes on Wang with gold in her sights, Olympics in her dreams
Alexandra Eala faces her toughest test of the Asian Games so far on Thursday when she takes on China’s Wang Xinyu in the semi-finals of the women’s singles. Victory will take the 21-year-old a step closer to gold, but after battling past Chinese Taipei’s Joanna Garland in the last eight, she said it had not been an easy decision to come to Japan in the first place. While Eala and the rest are in Nagoya, the China Open is taking place in Beijing, and as a WTA 1000 event, it is mandatory for tour...
Man City’s egregious rule-breaking leaves clubs, fans waiting to see what happens next
It was nearly two years coming but when the Premier League’s verdict arrived this week it buried Manchester City. Quite how far beneath their current exalted status will become clearer in the fullness of time, although the 21 months needed to reach a conclusion over the 100-plus charges levied against them would suggest it will be a while before the club discovers if it will be fined, stripped of titles, docked points, relegated, or all of the above. “I’d put them in the lowest league they can...

Asian Games, day 11: Hong Kong’s squash teams guarantee bronze, Wong battles into last 8
Hong Kong will collect at least two more bronze medals in squash on Thursday, although the men’s and women’s teams have loftier goals in mind at the Asian Games. Semi-finals against Pakistan and India at the Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena stand between the Hong Kong players and a shot at gold. With cyclist Ceci Lee Sze-wing in action in the women’s Madison, Coleman Wong Chak-lam into the quarter-finals of the men’s singles, and the start of the rugby sevens, the city’s athletes will have designs on...
Zheng Qinwen in confident mood ahead of China Open, but admits to pressure of playing at home
Zheng Qinwen begins her China Open campaign on Friday confident she can recapture the form that made her among the best women’s players in the world, despite the pressures that come from trying to win at home. The former world No 4 and Olympic gold medallist said she was fully prepared for what lay ahead, even though she dropped outside the top 100 at one stage this season. But an impressive run to the quarter-finals of the US Open has helped her bounce back to near the top 50, and good...
‘Quirky’ Colourful King out for Group Three feature glory on busy day for Zac Purton
Zac Purton is hoping the best version of Colourful King shows up when he goes for a fifth 1,000m win in Thursday’s Group Three National Day Cup at Sha Tin. The David Eustace-trained galloper has won a pair of minimum-trip races at both Happy Valley and Sha Tin, with his two wins last season coming at the latter venue. Ending last season by winning the Class One Pearce Memorial Challenge Cup (1,000m), he also posted a huge effort to finish second in the Group Three Bauhinia Sprint Trophy, where...
Asian Games crowds ‘disappointing’ as 998 fans watch football in 50,000-seat stadium
Under 1,000 spectators watched Asian Games hosts Japan beat South Korea in the semi-finals of the women’s football at a 50,000-capacity stadium, with a top official admitting Wednesday that attendances at some events were “disappointing”. Japanese organisers have been on the defensive over ticket sales since the opening ceremony on September 19 took place in front of thousands of empty seats in Nagoya. Officials said on that occasion that the threat of a typhoon put people off, and heavy rain...
