FOUNDER STORY

Why did you create Lumi?

Lumi was inspired by my own journey with gut health and a deeper understanding of how daily nutrition shapes long-term wellbeing — not only how we feel, but how we look.

That perspective changed how I viewed pet nutrition. Lumi was created to bring together inner health and outer beauty through thoughtfully crafted, protein-rich recipes designed to support digestive balance, coat condition and everyday vitality.

Because beauty - and wellness - begins in the bowl.

If your pet has specific allergies or medical conditions, we recommend speaking with your veterinarian before introducing any new food.

Collagen supports skin elasticity, joint comfort and overall vitality.

Each recipe includes high-quality animal protein, collagen broth, marine microalgae oil, and functional ingredients to support gut health, relief of inflammation, cognitive health and coat condition.

You can find the full ingredient list and guaranteed analysis on each individual product page.

 

How should I transition my pet to Lumi?
We recommend gradually introducing Lumi over 5–7 days:

• Day 1–2: 25% Lumi + 75% current food
• Day 3–4: 50% Lumi + 50% current food
• Day 5–6: 75% Lumi + 25% current food
• Day 7: 100% Lumi

A slow transition helps support digestive comfort.

 

How should I store Lumi?
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 3 days.

 

Are your ingredients traceable?
Yes - all ingredients are traceable.

 


SUSTAINABILITY

Is your packaging recyclable?
Yes. Our tin cans, cardboard trays and multipacks are recyclable. Plastic wrap found on trays can be recycled via the Soft Plastics Recycling Scheme.

 

Are your proteins ethical and sustainable?
Our recipes are made using meat from ethical New Zealand farms, where animals are free to roam and eat natural pastures of grass, clover, and native grasses.  No grains or concrete yards.

Marine recipes are made by our manufacturer who holds a Chain of Custody Certification by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).  This globally recognised certification verifies that seafood ingredients originate from fisheries that meet strict sustainability and traceability standards. Our marine ingredients can be tracked throughout the supply chain - from the fishery to the finished Lumi product.
