#71: Zero Emission Puppers with Gabriel Guedes from Lyka

How healthy is pet food? What if you could give your pet food
that was good for them AND good for the planet? Well... you can,
thanks to the team at Lyka.

This episode we'll stepping into the paws of our canine
companions to learn about how we can improve their diet and the
planet with Lyka. We'll be on this journey with this week's
guest: Gabriel Guedes, COO and CFO at Lyka. 

About Lyka:


Lyka is Australia's only carbon NEGATIVE dog food! All
emissions are offset through Green Fleet, the first Aussie carbon
offsetter. 

In 2018, founder Anna (Gabriels partner),  went on a
journey to improve her dog Lyka's health. Anna put diet on a
homemade diet of fresh, wholefood ingredients and the results
were fantastic.

"Lyka’s transformation was incredible and noticeable within
weeks. Not only was Lyka more energetic, but her coat was also
glossier, and her skin was also no longer itchy. Even her tooth
decay reversed. As a bonus, Anna also noticed her poo didn’t
smell anymore and Lyka’s frequent passing wind had ceased
completely."

Team Lyka is a group of ambitious and like-minded dog-lovers
with a shared single goal: to serve you and your pupper with the
best possible food on the planet (and give our office dogs
endless belly rubs.)
