Our Tale
How it started
Our story started 5 years ago. We (Achilles and Jack) got to know each other at Ghent University. It soon became clear that we have a lot in common. We both like discovering the world and pub nights, but most of all: we share a love for the planet and dogs, especially our faithful companions Otis and Choco.
Combining passions
Recently we found a way to combine these two passions. We are all trying to eat more consciously and ecologically. But what about the food we serve our dogs? We decided to come up with an answer to this question ourselves.

NATURAL CLEANERS
The favorite food of insects? Our leftovers! They feed themselves with leftover wheat and beet sugar. So no planet was harmed by feeding insects.
