Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Lyka Full time

Who are we?:


Lyka is an Australian founded pet wellness company that's shaking up an outdated industry and paving the way for happier, healthier pets.

Despite medical advancements, animal lifespans are on the decline.

Today, the average pet only reaches 37% of their full potential lifespan and statistics have shown us that many suffer from dental disease, cancer, and obesity.

Simply put, the status quo is not enough.


As humans, we've experienced firsthand the positive impact fresh wholefoods can have on our health and wellbeing, and we believe our furry friends deserve the same.

We're on a mission to do just that, starting with nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered direct to doors around Australia.

As the world's most sustainable pet wellness company, we're putting pets and our planet first — one bowl at a time.


Today, we are proud to share we've served over 10 million meals to puppers and their parents across Australia, and this is just the beginning.

Our vision is to create multiple nutritional products, adding disease prevention meals and supplements, and expand into new markets.

Currently, we have a team of 150+ pet-obsessed and we're continuing to grow (yes, looking at you).

These carefully selected people are dedicated to building the next generation of technology and products to help empower pet parents to take control over their pet's wellbeing.


To date, we have raised over $40M in funding from our venture fund investments and pet industry insiders, who believe in our mission and ability to drive change in a stagnant industry, providing nutrition that nourishes puppers from the inside out.

Are you ready to shake things up and give pets the life they deserve? Come join our pack
