Our Story

Who We Are

At Wild Bound, our story begins with me, Andrea Fagerman, and my experience as a science teacher (and devoted dog mom). For two years I taught my students about food webs, energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles by discussing real-world issues like pollution, climate change, and droughts.  And then I decided to apply that knowledge, along with my love of animals, to create Wild Bound.

Wild Bound is committed to improving the environment by removing invasive species from endangered waterways and limiting plastic waste to minimize our carbon footprint. At Wild Bound, our story and mission starts and ends with the environment and our love for our pets. Here, our care doesn’t end with you and your pet – it extends to our future generations and mother nature.

XOXO,

The More You Know

Do you have any other questions?

 Pets are family, so we treat them like it. We use domestically grown food to nourish your pets with the best.

Wild Bound focuses on harvesting meat from invasive species, mainly Asian Copi. These fish have become so invasive that they now comprise 97% of fish biomass in some areas of the Mississippi River basin. This can lead to food web disruptions and even extinctions. Additionally, using Asian Copi in commercial food helps control their population and benefits the marine ecosystems. (It also provides your pets with high-quality proteins with lower heavy metals found in other fish!)
Asian Copi, previously called Asian Carp, is a term used to describe four species of carp which were brought to the US from Asia they were meant to help maintain aquatic vegetation and serve as aquatic pond animals and food for human consumption. These include bighead, grass, black, and silver carp. However, over time, Asian Copi became an aggressive invasive species that crowd out native fish for food and habitat.
We are proud to announce that our packaging is completely compostable! This means that when you’re done, you can add it to your compost pile and the bag will naturally degrade to enrich your soil. *Please note that the rate of composting depends on the health of your compost pile.
The answer is simple: bugs are the answer to climate control. Using significantly less land and water, insects produce just as much protein, if not more, than conventional protein shortages. In fact, the UN has said that insects could be the answer to sourcing protein in the fight against climate change!
