How we make our meals, from seed
Stage 1 - Planning & Planting
Recipe finalisation and seed planting. Once the final recipe is decided we prepare the land and plant the seeds for the vegetables, the apples are from the orchards, the blackberries are from permanent, well established hedgerows that are harvested seasonally. All our vegetables, fruits and herbs are hand picked.
Stage 2 - Sourcing the ingredients
We source all the ingredients from the farm, all within a few miles. The home grown produce is carefully selected and hand picked. The same human grade produce goes into supermarkets for human consumption. The vegetables and fruit are all hand picked, then quality checked, only selecting the best to be used.
Stage 3 - Prepping & Cooking
We prepare our meat, vegetables and fruit in the kitchen on the farm, by hand. At Ouzil we have a special cooking method to keep every ingredient nutrient-rich. We cook all the meat and the vegetables individually and once all are cooked mix them together. This way, each meal is full of vital nutrients, and your dog can feel & smell the texture of each ingredient. We do regular taste tests ourselves, as well as several renowned fussy pets. We use veterinary and nutritionists advice every step of the way, combining this with safety tests so we are always producing high standards.
Stage 4 - Packing & Posting
We cook our meals to order, they are then frozen and posted out in recyclable packaging. You can be assured you’re about to receive the most sustainable and lowest carbon foot print any pet meal can have. When your Ouzil meal arrives it is ready to pop into your fridge or freezer. Boxes are insulated with sheep’s wool. It is also compostable or reusable - Just contact us when you have a full box and we will arrange a free collection. On receipt of liners we offer a voucher to the customer.
Stage 5 - Ouzil arrives at your door
We post Monday to Wednesday and aim to send out the next day but sometimes it may be posted two days after you order depending on order numbers. The meals are send out as fresh as possible in a wool insulated box for temperature control, all the outer packaging is fully recyclable. When your order arrives you can put them the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to six months. Please see the instructions for storage.
ENJOY!
