LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A Las Vegas dog food company that started during the pandemic is doing fine. Yumwoof Natural Pet Foods launched online in November 2020.
Jaron Lukas founded the company with his co-founder, a professional cook who got into tough times during the last recession and could no longer afford to feed his dogs the high quality dry food that he has been feeding for years.
The two of them worked with a local vet and animal nutritionist to perfect their recipes and ingredients and now offer a “soft and chewy kibble” and a “perfect dog food mix” for pet owners who prefer to make dog food at home.
“Everything in the direction of Paleo dog food, no fillers and ingredients for humans. I really try to create the best absolute dog food I would feed my dog and try to offer it to everyone else. We’re part of the $ 7 billion that will pour into e-commerce specifically in the pet food space over the next five years. We’re one of the beneficiaries of a bigger trend, ”said Jaron Lukas from Yumwoof.
Entrepreneurs are seeing the behind-the-scenes inflation that most businesses are currently grappling with with soaring product and ingredient prices.
They want to expand Yumwoof into physical retail stores in most of the popular pet food stores.
