Styrofoam cooler packaging is environmentally irresponsible.
The ordering process was easy and efficient. Meat looks rich and fresh; arrived on time and frozen. My cats love the food. I would have given a 5-star rating if it weren't for the packaging. It came in a large styrofoam cooler with 4 ice-packs. I inquired whether there was a return/reuse system and got no response. Given the global warming environmental crisis we are facing, this type of packaging, of non-recyclable styrofoam, without a system for re-use, is environmentally irresponsible and I cannot support it, so I will go with Darwin's instead. They use recyclable paper padding and only one ice pack; and it worked just as well.

We totally get where you are coming from. Unfortunately Darwin's is able to use dry ice because they have such a huge volume of business that they can easily and cost effectively make and store their own dry ice. We are a very small family run operation and simply can't afford to buy dry ice in the small quantities we would need and don't have sufficient cold storage to keep the dry ice which has to be stored at -109.5 F. Also, you can totally recycle the foam boxes- take a look here http://www.homeforfoam.com/foam-101/foam-recycling-centers Thanks for trying Raw Wild Dog Food and know that we are always looking at new, cost effective ways to be more environmentally responsible.
