Why We Choose Glass Bottles for Our Premium Omega Oil Toppers

 For Your Pet’s Health and the Planet

At Woof Creek, everything we create starts with the same fundamental question: What’s best for your pet and the world they live in? That means listening to science, following holistic nutrition principles, and making decisions that support both well-being and sustainability. One of the most impactful decisions we make is our choice to package our premium Omega Oil Toppers in glass bottles instead of plastic. Here’s the impact of that seemingly small choice

Protecting the Health of our Fur Kids and Yours 

Omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA are essential nutrients that support your fur kid’s heart, brain, joints, skin, coat and immune system throughout every stage of life. Our Omega Oil Toppers are made from sustainably sourced fish oils and nutrient-rich plant-based sources, carefully filtered to deliver clean, highly bioavailable omega-3s your pet actually absorbs and thrives on.

But here’s something many pet parents don’t realize: plastic packaging can negatively affect the very nutrients you’re trying to preserve. Studies and expert advisories (including insights from integrative veterinary consultants) show that oils can degrade when in prolonged contact with plastic, and harmful chemical components can leach into the oil over time, even from BPA-free plastics. This isn’t just a theoretical risk; it’s a real concern for sensitive nutrients like omega-3s. By using glass, we ensure that your pet’s oil topper stays pure. 

Science Says: Microplastics Are a Big Problem

Recent research highlights an emerging global health concern: microplastics. These tiny plastic fragments now appear throughout our environment; water, air, soil, food, and even human and animal tissues, and they carry thousands of potentially harmful chemical additives. 

Experts from Harvard’s School of Public Health explain that microplastics aren’t just everywhere, their structure makes them a vehicle for contaminants, and they can cause immune disruption and a host of health issues in living organisms. While the direct impact of microplastics on pets is still being studied, reducing exposure makes good sense, especially when we’re talking about something as fundamental as nutrition that is given daily.

Glass, by its very nature, cannot fragment into microplastics, nor does it contain toxic additives that may migrate into your pet’s food or the environment. Choosing glass means choosing a packaging material that doesn’t contribute to the plastic pollution cycle that scientists are increasingly warning about.

Our Eco-Friendly Mission: Moving Beyond “No Plastic”

At Woof Creek, our clean, green mission isn’t just a tagline, it’s built into every decision we make. From sourcing sustainable proteins and nutrient-dense ingredients to actively reducing our environmental footprint, we aim to leave a healthier planet for all fur families. 

Our mission page highlights why we avoid plastic whenever possible. We steer clear of plastic packaging, even BPA-free variants, because:

• Plastic contributes to pervasive pollution.

• Oils can degrade and absorb unwanted chemicals from plastic over time.

• Glass is infinitely recyclable and inert, protecting both product quality and the environment.

Every glass bottle sold is a small step toward reducing plastic waste, and a big step toward keeping your fur family healthier.

🐾 Better Packaging Means Better Pet Wellness (and a Greener Planet)

We know you want the best for your fur family inside and out. That’s why our Omega Oil Toppers come in glass bottles that protect nutrient integrity and align with our eco-centric values. Whether it’s your senior dog’s joint health, your kitten’s growing brain, or your eco-conscious family’s peace of mind, choosing glass helps us deliver nutrition that’s as safe as it is effective.
