Dingonatura was born out of the desire to improve the health and well-being of pets by providing them with a natural diet.
All our products are made with high-quality natural ingredients and follow the nutritional profiles of food that the animal, or its ancestor, would have eaten in the wild or semi-wild.
We want to transform communities, cities and societies into fairer, more inclusive places and the environment for pets too, via debate, understanding, education, ideation and creation.
We want to create positive change and form a fairer and more inclusive society and a better environment for pet animals too. We will tackle this by taking the following steps:
We will create cultural change to ensure that pets are treated more like members of society. We will work with people who do not have pet animals in order to transform mind-sets and raise awareness amongst people of the important role that pet animals play and the benefits that they can have on our emotional health.
We will cooperate with initiatives that align with our goal. We will promote the benefits that pets have on groups of vulnerable people and collaborate with public administration and the general public in order to move towards a future where inclusivity is a priority.
We know that education is one of the most powerful ways we can transform mind-sets and improve our future. We want to play a role in educating people who do not share their lives with animals to understand responsible ownership and to prevent abuse and abandon.
We want the cities of the future to be inclusive spaces, not only for their citizens but for pet animals too. The time to work out how we want to live and cohabit is here. We must search for disruptive solutions in order to create more egalitarian, participative and connected cities and societies.

Protagonists
Animals people society
Living with pets makes us better PEOPLE, it generates positive emotions and feelings and is basically beneficial to our overall health. In our SOCIETY we turn to them to solve individual and societal problems, for their therapeutic, medical and emotional benefits as well as to treat current social issues such as loneliness. Pets, quite simply, never let us down.
This is why pets are the foundation’s protagonists. But in society, traditions and restrictions constantly tear them away from the place they deserve to occupy. At FUNDACIÓN DINGONATURA we focus on overcoming these obstacles and on educating future generations so that our animal companions are treated as members of society. And we will not stop until we have achieved this, because we want pets to be seen as the protagonists they really are.
Despite the important work they do on a social level and the therapeutic effects they have on people’s emotional wellbeing, pets continue to be excluded in our society. The cities are full of restrictions and barriers, making it impossible for pets and their owners to move around freely.
For this reason, we are trying to help build a fairer and more inclusive society for them too. A society that protects and cares for them in a way they deserve to be.
We will work as a lever of change that will see them included and integrated into the cities of the future. And we want to do it through research and cultural change, influencing above all the sector in society that does not have animals: transforming mentalities, educating and raising awareness among citizens about their role and the benefits that they bring to human beings.
