Shameless Pets

Shameless Pets is a Chicago-based pet nutrition company that specializes in upcycled, sustainable, and functional treats for dogs and cats. Founded in 2018, the company utilizes surplus and misfit produce from the human food supply chain—such as lobster shells, apple pulp, and blueberry skins—to create nutrient-dense snacks. Each product is formulated by nutritionists to provide specific health benefits, including joint support, digestive wellness, and skin and coat health. The brand is a prominent player in the upcycled food movement and distributes its products through major retailers like Whole Foods, Petco, and Target, as well as direct-to-consumer channels.
