Nom Nom
|
Nom Nom is a pet health company dedicated to improving the lives of dogs and cats everywhere. One meal at a time.In 2015, a group of pet parents sought an alternative solution to the mass-produced puppy chow bagged and banished to the bottom shelf. It didn’t feel right for Harlee (the Aussie Shepherd that started it all). It didn’t feel right forany pet.So they formed a small team that included a leading Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist® and former Google engineer, who would go on to build an operational platform unmatched in the industry. The result? Subscription meal plans tailored to meet the unique nutritional needs of each pet. Perfectly portioned and delivered to your door.Today, those same pet parents still control every aspect of the process. Nom Nom customers know our recipes are formulated by us, prepped by us and packed by us. No shortcuts, no runarounds, no half-truths.We’re also on the cutting edge of all things pet health through research, study and publications. Seriously. Our in-house pet health experts (two Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionists, a Small Animal Nutritionist, a microbiologist and a whole litter of PhDs) work to advance pet health at large all while educating our community. So every pet can live their best life. | $10M / Series A / May 11, 2018 | |
