What We Want
Who We Are
Inspired by the vision of the late Doc Joseph P. Olarve, DVM, Paleo Pet PH emerged amidst the challenges of the 2021 pandemic. Driven by a simple yet profound mission – to provide optimal nutrition for beloved pets like Tiger – our journey began.
Founded in Parañaque, Paleo Pet embodies a commitment to crafting wholesome, nutritious pet food for furry companions, ensuring their health and vitality. We make our products in small batches, allowing us to carefully oversee quality, freshness, and consistency in every pouch. As we grew, our responsibility as a food provider for pets expanded, prompting us to collaborate with industry experts to enhance our accountability and quality.
Initially, it was a challenge to find local expertise in manufacturing pet food with prime cuts of human-grade meat, a niche field at the time. Through persistence, we connected with Doc Joseph Olarve, DVM, then the Director of the UP Veterinary Teaching Hospital, who was also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Basic Veterinary Sciences. With his extensive background in veterinary medicine and animal science, Doc Olarve conducted pivotal studies for Paleo Pet, leaving an indelible mark on our mission.
Today, we are honored to have Doc Joan Molina, DVM, a University of the Philippines graduate with a strong background in product development and regulatory concerns in the veterinary and animal industry, as a cherished member of our team. Additionally, our commitment to quality is reinforced by Vincent Paul Ablaza, RND, FSCO, a Licensed Food Safety Officer from the University of the Philippines Los Baños - Institute of Human Nutrition and Food, who ensures our manufacturing practices meet the highest standards.
We aim to solve critical pain points in the pet food industry. Witnessing our own pets suffer from severe liver and kidney issues, only to discover that their food was the culprit, was a turning point for us. If only pet food providers prioritized the best quality of life for our pets, the purpose of their brand would be truly meaningful, beyond mere profit. The food industry’s waste also affects humans, with ingredients unfit for us often ending up in commercial pet food. At Paleo Pet, we believe in the uniqueness of our product – we are the only locally manufactured meat pouches using prime cuts of human-grade meat that is shelf-stable.
Today, we’re proud to provide pets nationwide with premium-quality nourishment, ensuring every furry friend gets the best possible meal.
Aim & Vision
Our aim in the beginning was to create a nutrient-rich, tasty, easy-to-store meal using prime cuts of meat and human-grade ingredients for our dog, without having to leave the house. We believe that he deserved better than commercial kibble and to eat the same quality foods as ourselves.
Mission
As a brand, we have come a long way since our humble beginnings in the home kitchen. We feel that it is now our social responsibility to provide pet parents with a better alternative to commercial options.
Therefore, we have made it our mission to help pets live longer, happier, fuller lives through proper nutrition and care—offering products made in small batches to the highest standards of quality and safety.
A Healthy Option for Pets
After reading the ingredients that commercial pet food companies put into their kibbles—rendered meat and bulk fillers—we decided quite quickly that this couldn't possibly be the healthiest food for them.
Wholesome, Real Food
We believe that all pets deserve the best life possible, and it starts with food—real food. By following nature’s lead, we aim to provide fresh and nutritious pet food made from wholesome, human-grade prime cuts of meat, prepared in small batches without any fillers or artificial preservatives.
