Our Values

Unparalleled quality and trust

Driven by our passion for dogs, we strive to exceed expectations in every bowl, fostering health, happiness, and lifelong bonds.

Superior quality

LOONAWELL prioritizes exceptional quality ingredients sourced through meticulous selection processes, ensuring the highest standards of nutrition and safety for dogs.

Transparency

With the most complete and transparent labeling, LOONAWELL ensures dog owners have full visibility and understanding of the ingredients and nutritional value of their products, fostering trust and confidence.

Scientific rigor

LOONAWELL is solely dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of dogs through scientifically backed nutrition, providing solutions to common health issues, and enhancing overall canine wellness.

Giving back to nature

Our pledge to the environment

At LOONAWELL, we understand that there is an inherent environmental impact when manufacturing a new product. In our case, the cardboard boxes we use both in our packaging and for e-commerce shipping, and one of the materials we use the most, directly impacts trees. Trees, nature's silent heroes, play a pivotal role in mitigating the environmental toll of manufacturing.

If we are conscious of what we’re taking away, we can also take conscious measurements to replenish and give back. In partnership with One Tree Planted, we commit to plant a tree for every order received. The idea is to give back more than what we take and investing in trees is a first step in counteracting the environmental impact of our processes.

Our Vision

LOONAWELL leads pet nutrition innovation, setting unrivaled standards with organic excellence, rigorous science, and transparent blockchain. Transforming dog feeding globally, we aspire to set a new gold standard.

Swiss-crafted to the highest standards.

Traditional cooking methods that preserve ingredient integrity

LOONAWELL prioritizes organic, human-grade ingredients, sourced meticulously, prepared in-house, and rigorously tested for safety and nutritional value.

1

Fresh organic ingredients

We choose our partners and raw materials with great care. Our ingredients are organic to ensure they have a high nutritional content and are free from synthetic pesticides. Most of our ingredients are of organic Swiss origin, and those ingredients that are not available in Switzerland, we carefully source from certified Bio suppliers worldwide, handpicked for their quality and nutritional value. All our ingredients also meet human-grade quality standards.

2

Made under one roof

From the moment the raw ingredients arrive at our facilities, until the final products are shipped to the our customers, everything happens under the same roof in Zurich. Every step is carefully monitored to ensure maximum quality, traceability, and product integrity. Our recipes undergo meticulous preparation, combining high-tech machinery with artisanal methods to guarantee consistency and excellence in every batch.

3

Giving power back to the consumer

At LOONAWELL, we prioritize transparency in every aspect of our process, including packaging and labeling. Once recipes are completed, they undergo stringent quality checks before being swiftly packaged on-site. Our packaging is designed to maintain freshness and preserve the integrity of our products.

What sets us apart is our commitment to providing consumers with comprehensive product labels. Unlike many products in the pet category, our labels are highly descriptive, offering all the nutritional information needed in an easily accessible format. We believe in empowering our customers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their pets' nutrition.

With LOONAWELL, you can trust that every aspect of our products, from ingredient selection to labeling, is geared towards the well-being of your furry companions.

Our Founder. Where science meets purpose

From cancer research to dog nutrition

In February 2019, while attending a Pet Food conference in London, a prestigious veterinarian's words struck me to the core: "Pets, among mammals, have the highest incidence of cancer, largely due to poor nutrition." As a devoted dog mom to Luna, my beloved Westie, I couldn't shake the thought: Am I unknowingly feeding her a death sentence?

After months of research, I uncovered a disheartening reality: most dog foods were indeed filled with poor quality ingredients and misleading labels, posing serious health risks to our furry companions. Determined to rewrite this narrative, I've drawn from my background in biomedical sciences and corporate management and, embarked on an entrepreneurial journey.

In 2020, LOONAWELL was born—a Swiss premium manufacturer and dog food brand fueled by a simple yet profound ethos: every ingredient must enhance dog nutrition. This decision, though seemingly straightforward, posed an unprecedented technical and business challenge, that I was determined to solve. Today is what clearly sets us apart from the competition.

LOONAWELL seamlessly merges scientific rigor with culinary artistry to craft dog food and treats that are not only organic, healthy, and human-grade but irresistibly delicious. So much so, that you'll be tempted to try it too!

With LOONAWELL, I amplify the voice of our silent canine companions and aspire to become the most trusted pet food brand globally. Let's join paws in consciously nourishing our furry friends and paving the way to healthier, happier lives.
