Changing the world of pet food for good

We're , a dog food subscription company with a big difference. We create truly tailored food for each and every dog we serve. We start by asking people a few simple questions about their dog. Then we use that information to create their dog's unique recipe – so their dog gets exactly the nutrition they need, in the taste they love, delivered to their door every month. It's clever stuff.

We've got bold plans. Having created an entirely new category in pet food, we're now scaling fast backed by Purina, one of the world's largest pet food companies. You'll join a bunch of smart people working towards the same goals – and a bunch of smart-ish dogs, all working on their own thing.

Together, we'll change the world of pet food for good.

Cloud Infrastructure Team

The team of DevOps engineers within which ensure our AWS environment stays in tip-top shape, supports the core website and everything that it needs as well as the cloud infrastructure which keeps the factory up and running.

Build our brand

We set ambitious goals. We challenge and support each other in equal measure. At the pace we're moving, we prefer to test ideas and learn quickly rather than spend months building a business case. That means we celebrate when things go right, and we learn when things go wrong.
