We are so happy to have Smallbatch Pets joining us at Spring Fling as a Sponsor! They are a small, family-owned company in San Francisco, California. Inspired by the wonderful local and sustainable sources around them, Smallbatch set out to make a different kind of raw pet food.
 Thanks to our sponsors including Smallbatch, 100% of t-shirt sales & Egg Hunt donations goes to the rescues and non-profits at Spring Fling! You can order your shirt and sign up for the Egg Hunt here: https://givebutter.com/c/UnleashedsSpringFling2026 You may even win Smallbatch Products!! |
The focus of Smallbatch is not to be the biggest pet food company, but to be the best at what they do. They believe that pets deserve to eat real food, which is why they procure all of their ingredients from farms that they know and love, farms that take care of the land for the benefit of future generations. The way the food is raised, grown, and harvested plays a pivotal role in not just the health of our pets, but also in the health of our planet. Smallbatch is dedicated to offering quality foods that align with these values.
"Why should you have to worry about what’s in your pet’s bowl? Let us do all the thinking and making for you. Here’s to the longest ball fetch, softest puppy lick, and healthiest, happiest life."
Smallbatch is committed to using only all-natural, whole cuts of humanely raised and responsibly harvested meats, sourced directly through trusted suppliers. Their meats are free from hormones and antibiotics, ensuring the highest quality standards. Beef and lamb are pasture-raised, while poultry is free-range, with each protein verified through species-appropriate animal welfare and quality programs.
In addition to premium proteins, they only use fresh, whole vegetables and herbs that are certified organic, non-GMO, and pesticide-free. Their carefully selected supplements, including organic unfiltered raw apple cider vinegar, 100% pure pollock oil, and sustainably harvested organic ocean kelp, ensure pets receive the best nutrition in its purest form.
It's simple - Smallbatch believes in raw nutrition the way nature intended, so they never add a
synthetic pre-mix to their raw formulas. Instead, the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that pets need come from natural and whole food sources. Herbs like cilantro, oregano, and thyme provide vitamins like A, K, + C. Kelp, parsley, and other greens provide vitamins and minerals such as copper, magnesium, and potassium. Organs like liver, heart, kidney, and gizzards provide bioavailable vitamins A & B12, CoQ10, taurine, selenium, zinc, and more!
At the core of their mission is a commitment to responsible sourcing. They only partner with premium ranchers and farmers that maintain transparent food policies and that are committed to providing leadership in sustainability and land stewardship.
It started with Blue.
"Blue, our rescue cat, was the very first smallbatch pet. Blue had special needs that store-bought foods couldn’t meet. In our San Francisco flat, we began crafting small, fresh batches using the same local, sustainable meats and produce we brought home for ourselves. Blue thrived, and so did the idea that good food should be simple, real, and responsibly made.
Smallbatch grew from food for Blue in 2004 to a tiny local delivery service for friends and neighbors who wanted the same fresh, ingredient-driven meals for their pets in 2005. Then, they were in their first retail store in 2007 and have been growing thoughtfully ever since.
For the past 20 years, Smallbatch has been proud to partner with incredible neighborhood pet stores like Unleashed!! These partnerships have allowed them to do more than just sell products; they’ve helped forge meaningful connections with customers, store staff, and their communities.
FUN FACT: According to the University of Helsinki’s DogRisk research, incorporating as little as 20% raw food into a dog's diet provides significant health benefits, particularly in preventing allergies and atopy-related skin symptoms. Even just a little goes a long way 🥳!
We are excited to see that DogRisk is expanding and CatRisk is officially underway! Based on our anecdotal experience over the past 20 years, we are confident that CatRisk is going to have similar findings and will prove that adding raw food to your pet's diet, dog or cat, will significantly add to their overall health and longevity!
When you are ready to see what a difference Smallbatch can make for your pets, head to your local Unleashed and try it RISK-FREE! Whether you want to try 20%, 100%, or even just treats, we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you can add Smallbatch food and/or treats to your pet's bowl or treat-fillable toy or tray and see how it goes! We are pretty sure they're gonna love it and thrive on it too, but if it doens't work out, just bring it back, no worries. Plus, your support of our sponsors and Unleashed will keep Spring Fling going for years to come!
