Salary benchmarks
Our take
Global cat food spend is a $34 billion market and the fastest-growing segment within pet food. $8bn of this is premium spend and it's increasing 1% year-on-year. This is driven by both the humanisation of pets and owners' own desire for fresh, all-natural foods. Despite the rise of fresh pet food, particularly is the US where the concept is well proven by NomNomNow, Farmer's Dog and MyOllie, cats have been left behind by new entrants. This is nothing new - cats continue to be the industry underdog as legacy FMCG companies have never formulated cat food for cats as obligate carnivores despite it being an absolute biological necessity.
KatKin aims to revolutionise how parents feed cats by bringing fresh, personalised, and species-appropriate nutrition to market. It's doing this through world-leading expertise, using technology for in-house production and personalisation, to offer the best possible food for every cat and its parents.
All KatKin recipes are expertly formulated for cats, complete and balanced, and made using only the finest, human-grade ingredients. The daily meals are individually portioned and steam-cooked in KatKin's London kitchen.
All the recipes are formulated by Dr. Justin Shmalberg, the Chief Nutrition Officer at Katkin - a world-leading veterinary nutritionist and a passionate advocate for fresh food for pets. The brand celebrates cats as companions at the heart of the home, and while it's laser-focused on its core food proposition, the company is using 2023 Series A funding to create personalised health plans for cats and invest in scientific research into cat nutrition.
