From Pasture to Bowl: Why New Zealand and Canada Have Superior Meat Sources
When it comes to feeding your pet, every ingredient matters—especially the quality of the protein. At ZEAL, we thoughtfully select meat from two of the most sustainable and ethically responsible regions in the world: New Zealand and Canada. But what makes these regions the gold standard for premium, nutritious pet food?
Nature’s Ideal Conditions for High-Quality Meat
New Zealand and Canada are renowned for their pristine environments, responsible farming, and naturally nutrient-rich pastures.
New Zealand: The Perfect Grasslands for Livestock
New Zealand’s temperate climate, abundant rainfall, and lush pastures create ideal conditions for year-round, grass-fed livestock. Unlike grain-fed systems, New Zealand’s rain-fed, free-range farms allow animals to graze naturally, producing meat that is:
Higher in omega fatty acids for skin and joint health
Naturally rich in vitamins A, E, and beta-carotene
More digestible due to minimal processing and natural diets
This pasture-based approach ensures that livestock are raised without unnecessary antibiotics, growth hormones, or artificial feed additives-keeping the meat pure, wholesome, and aligned with ZEAL’s commitment to natural integrity.
Canada: Sustainable Land, Nutrient-Dense Meat
Canada’s expansive farmlands, cold freshwater lakes, and commitment to sustainable agriculture create an environment where livestock can thrive naturally. The country follows rigorous farming regulations, ensuring:
Humane animal welfare standards that reduce stress and improve meat quality
Grass-fed and free-range livestock that develop lean, protein-dense muscle
Sustainable fishing practices that preserve marine ecosystems while delivering omega-rich, high-protein seafood
Canada’s cold climate and rich natural resources contribute to lean, nutrient-dense meats, making them an excellent choice for pet nutrition.
Ethical Farming & Sustainability: More Than Just a Label
Both New Zealand and Canada prioritize sustainability, ethical farming, and traceability, setting them apart as global leaders in responsible agriculture.New Zealand’s Regenerative Agriculture & lamp; “Kaitiakitanga”.A fundamental concept in New Zealand’s farming culture is "Kaitiakitanga,meaning guardianship of the land. Farmers see themselves as caretakers rather than owners, ensuring that:
Livestock are raised with respect in free-range environments
Farms follow regenerative agriculture principles, preventing overgrazing and preserving soil health
Water sources remain clean and protected, maintaining biodiversity
New Zealand’s NZFAP Plus certification (New Zealand Farm Assurance Program) ensures high welfare standards, ethical farming, and sustainability benchmarks, so every ingredient we source is fully traceable from farm to bowl.
Canada enforces some of the world’s strictest agricultural policies, ensuring that every step of the farming process is transparent, humane, and sustainable. This includes:
Grass-fed livestock programs that promote ethical animal treatment
Sustainable seafood certification to avoid overfishing and bycatch
Through certifications like SMETA (ethical trade certification) and HACCP (food safety compliance), Canadian farms uphold traceable, responsible, and eco-friendly practices.
