How healthy is pet food? What if you could give your pet food that was good for them AND good for the planet? Well... you can, thanks to the team at Lyka.
This episode we'll stepping into the paws of our canine companions to learn about how we can improve their diet and the planet with Lyka. We'll be on this journey with this week's guest: Gabriel Guedes, COO and CFO at Lyka.
About Lyka:
- Lyka is Australia's only carbon NEGATIVE dog food! All emissions are offset through Green Fleet, the first Aussie carbon offsetter.
- In 2018, founder Anna (Gabriels partner), went on a journey to improve her dog Lyka's health. Anna put diet on a homemade diet of fresh, wholefood ingredients and the results were fantastic.
- "Lyka’s transformation was incredible and noticeable within weeks. Not only was Lyka more energetic, but her coat was also glossier, and her skin was also no longer itchy. Even her tooth decay reversed. As a bonus, Anna also noticed her poo didn’t smell anymore and Lyka’s frequent passing wind had ceased completely."
- Team Lyka is a group of ambitious and like-minded dog-lovers with a shared single goal: to serve you and your pupper with the best possible food on the planet (and give our office dogs endless belly rubs.)
