Caring for Dogs Starts with Their Wellbeing

Every dog deserves appropriate nutrition, care and the chance to live a healthy life. For dogs in shelters and rescue centres, support from volunteers, animal welfare organisations, responsible owners and local businesses can make a meaningful difference.At Dogs Cyprus, we believe animal welfare is a shared responsibility. Picart, represented in Cyprus by KEDO LTD, is among our sponsors, supporting our work to connect people and organisations who care about dogs across the island.

Meet Picart: A Family Business with a Long History

Picart traces its origins to 1953, when Pere Icart and Teresa Clos established the family business in Sant Pere de Vilamajor, near Barcelona, initially producing feed for farm animals. In 2000, the company established its Picart PetCare division and began producing food for dogs and cats. Its Select range followed in 2006 and NutriBest in 2009.According to Picart, its recipes are developed with input from veterinarians and nutrition experts. The company describes an emphasis on carefully selected ingredients, production oversight and continuous improvement. In 2023, it opened a new production facility in Llinars del Vallès, Barcelona.In Cyprus, Picart products are represented by KEDO LTD, a family business established in 1990 by Dimitrios Georgiou, who was later succeeded by his son, Orthodoxos Georgiou. KEDO LTD began in agricultural animal nutrition and expanded into the pet-food market in 2013.

Nutrition for Different Needs and Life Stages

From puppies to adult and older dogs, age, size, activity level and individual sensitivities can influence dietary requirements. Picart offers several ranges, each with a different focus:

• Select Dog: recipes for a variety of sizes and life stages, including grain-free and grain-containing options.
• Select Diet: specialised nutritional formulas, including products labelled Hypoallergenic, Gastrointestinal, Joint & Mobility and Dermatologic. These are not substitutes for veterinary diagnosis or care.
• NutriBest: a range of dog and cat foods with different recipes and flavours.
• Megabone: complete dog-food options, including Puppy, Adult, Energy and High Energy products.

Supporting Dogs Beyond the Food Bowl

Across Cyprus, shelters and rescue groups work every day to feed, protect and rehome dogs in need. Their work depends on steady community support. Food donations, when provided, can ease part of the daily cost of care, while volunteer time and responsible adoption remain equally important.Dogs Cyprus works to raise awareness of shelters’ needs and help more people discover dogs waiting for adoption. Community involvement, practical assistance and responsible adoption can all make a meaningful difference.
