Here at Lyka, dogs are life. And together, we can help them live the life. Are you ready to change the game, one pupper at a time?
Through the power of knowledge, nutrition and the right people, we are challenging the status quo, putting dogs first and changing the game.
Nutrition
Nutrition is at the core of health and wellbeing, and we believe that all dogs should have access to real food - this is why Lyka came to be.
Wellness Services
We are invested in all elements of pet health and holistic wellness, including preventative care, early diagnosis, the elimination of overmedication, as well as alternative therapies.
Health Monitoring & Accessories
From the inside to the outside and the technology that our dogs are wearing, we are developing ways to track the health of dogs to improve their wellbeing and enable preventative care.
Life Science & Beyond!
Lyka is at the forefront of pet wellness and nutrition. Through the knowledge of research and data, we are able to bring the advances of life sciences to pets, to improve their longevity and ensure optimal health at all life stages.
Life is just better with dogs, and we believe they deserve to live their best, healthiest, happiest lives - together, we can do just that. Our four key values dictate every decision made to benefit the Lyka Pack, and we feel proud to be able to bring like-minded, passionate individuals together who embody and live by these values.

Lead the pack
We’re here to challenge conventions, find new ways to achieve our goals, and redefine the landscape we’re working in.
Pick up the poo
We always do the right thing by our puppers, other people, and the planet – acting with integrity and taking responsibility.
Equals at the dog park
The diversity of our pack is what makes it magic. Regardless of breed or background, everyone’s welcome – we create a safe space for all to run, play and contribute.
