This is us
We are a Swedish company founded in 2020 on a mission to create a more sustainable and transparent pet world, with the love for pets and our planet as guiding principles. The first milestone on our mission was the launch of our nutritious and sustainable insect-based dog food in the end of 2020. Since then, we have successfully launched a range of insect-based products for both dogs and cats and built a strong track record in terms of both sales and customer satisfaction.

Our core market is Sweden and the Nordic region, but we are already shipping to 14 countries in Europe. We are on a strong growth journey and experience rapid growth and strong interest from the retail and distributor channel, putting this at the very core of our business.
