Ukrainian dog and cat food manufacturer Practik has made a bet on energy independence and is already seeing results. Why solar panels on the factory roof and sustainable pet food are not a trend, but a necessity

Sustainable production is no longer a trend, but a necessity. In a world where resources are not infinite, every responsible step counts.

Ukrainian brand Practik is taking just such a step, combining natural ingredients, animal care, and environmental responsibility. It has already launched production of sustainable pet food at its own factory, which is partially powered by 170 kW solar panels.

This is how natural, eco-friendly food for dogs and cats appeared, which does not harm nature, and is also made entirely in Ukraine.

Practik is a brand that thinks responsibly

Practik is not just Ukrainian pet food, but a brand created with the idea of ​​conscious consumption, transparent production, and care for every tail.

At the helm of Practik is a person who knows perfectly well what responsibility towards pets means. Ivan Zubarev himself has dogs. Therefore, each Practik ration is something that the founder would feed his tailed friends without hesitation.

All formulas are developed taking into account the natural needs of pets in accordance with the standards of FEDIAF — the European Pet Food Industry Federation, which guarantees safety and complete nutrition.

Solar panels in production: what does it give?

170 kW solar panels installed on the roof of the Practik factory provide part of the production with clean electricity.

As a result:

• Less carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, hence more environmentally friendly production.
• Energy independence — the cost and production of feed does not depend on fluctuations in the electricity market.
• Less costs allow us to keep prices reasonable for consumers.
• Sustainability in the long term.

Sustainable pet food is not a trend, but a reality that Practik has already implemented.

Environmental friendliness in detail

Practik is not limited to solar panels! The brand itself emphasizes minimizing environmental impact at all stages of production.

Firstly, the production uses feed packaging that can be recycled.

Secondly, the assortment on the site includes reusable eco-shops, toys and accessories for pets made of biodegradable materials, and biodegradable hygiene bags (for cleaning up after dogs) that do not contain polyethylene and do not pollute nature.

Thirdly, the company uses high-quality Ukrainian raw materials and avoids harmful chemical additives. The products do not contain artificial dyes, flavors, preservatives or flavor enhancers. Only natural ingredients, because real meat does not need additives.

That is why Practik eco-friendly cat and dog food is suitable even for sensitive pets.

Practik Social Ecomission

Natural dog and cat food should be available not only to pets, but also to those waiting for a home. Therefore, one of Practik’s main missions is to help animals that have no owners. The brand also supports foster parents, volunteers, and people who simply care about homeless animals.

Active assistance to homeless animals and shelters

Since the company was founded, it has been supplying food to various shelters in Ukraine for free (the «Food to the Shelter Instead of a Cup of Coffee» program). The brand collects donations through the «Animal Bank» and regularly reports on the funds raised, as well as offering discounted prices on rations for pets in shelters.

Humanitarian aid to animals in crisis zones

Supports volunteers and organizations that evacuate, treat, and feed animals in war zones. In difficult times, Practik food saves lives—and that’s no exaggeration.

Social responsibility Practik

For Practik, «responsibility» is a broader concept than just caring for animals. Impact on society, the environment, and the economy is part of the philosophy that the brand team consistently puts into action:

1. They work with Ukrainian suppliers.
   All raw materials for Practik feed are 100% Ukrainian. This not only supports local farmers and producers, but also shortens the logistics chain. Less transportation means less fuel and emissions into the atmosphere.
2. They create jobs in Ukraine.
   Brand production is not about packaging from imports. It is a full-fledged factory in Ukraine, where dozens of people work. Practik does not take production abroad and does not use a «white label». They develop the domestic market.
3. Renewable energy sources are used.
   And this is not an «eco-label», but a conscious step towards sustainable development, reducing the load on the network and reducing the carbon footprint.
4. They create a safe and honest product that you are not ashamed of.
   The brand’s founder knows firsthand the importance of a balanced diet. That’s why they don’t play around with chemicals here, but simply prepare with high-quality ingredients.
5. Promote a responsible attitude towards animals.
   The brand’s social media often talks about basic veterinary culture, explains the composition of feed and nutrition principles. Because they believe that an informed owner is the best ally in making changes for the better.

Conclusion

Practik is a Ukrainian dog and cat food that not only nourishes, but also changes the approach to responsible consumption.

Solar energy, local ingredients, transparent composition, and social mission together make Practik a unique brand of natural eco-food of the new generation.

Feed your tail responsibly — help the world!
