Have you ever wondered how we go about making our packaging more sustainable? 🤔 🌿 We're proud to work with Grounded Packaging to develop sustainable packaging materials across our entire product range.

An impressive carbon footprint reduction by a factor of 8 compared to compostable thermoforming film, and a reduced reliance on fossil fuels 🌏 A big thank you to the Grounded Packaging team for helping us on our sustainability journey 🤝 Corey Won #sustainability #sustainablepackaging

Our Founder & CEO, Anna Podolsky recently joined a panel hosted by Turo to discuss how challenger brands disrupt the status quo. Here are our top 3 takeaways from the panel: 🚀 Set yourself apart in ways your competitors can't match...We eat our own dog food because all our ingredients are human-grade. 🌳 Stick to your roots while remaining commercially viable - educating on value over price. At Lyka, investing in high quality fresh ingredients has a long-term positive impact on a dog's health. 🤝 Truly understand your customer's needs. We strive to always give our customers a voice, actively seek feedback, and continuously iterate our product and service based on their needs.

☀️ Lighting the future, one panel at a time ☀️ We've officially turned on the solar panels at our kitchen in Dandenong South - an exciting milestone in our commitment to sustainability💡🌱 A big thank you to our pack who have contributed to this significant achievement 👏 #solarpower #sustainability
