Lily’s Kitchen Story

At Lily’s Kitchen we are pet food pioneers. We are changing the game with our mission to provide proper food for cats and dogs all over the world. 

Lily’s Kitchen was founded in London in 2009, by Henrietta Morrison who set out to feed her beloved dog, Lily, food she could trust. Lily’s Kitchen is now the No1 Brand in premium natural pet food, still focusing on the mission to inspire pet parents to feed their four-legged friends natural, proper food for pets. 

Lily’s Kitchen was a founding member of the UK B Corp movement and the first pet food brand in the world to achieve B Corp status. Determined to use business as a force for good, Lily’s Kitchen has recently partnered with Dogs Trust to support dogs in need and are proud to lend a paw to charitable causes. 

We sell our nutritious natural recipes for cats and dogs in over 1,000 stockists, like Waitrose, Tesco, Ocado, organic food shops, vets, independent pet shops and garden centres all over the UK. We also sell internationally and are now sold in more than 30 countries worldwide.

Awarded a Royal Warrant Holder in 2019 and named in the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 three years in a row, we are a fast-growing company founded on passion and innovation. How innovative can a pet food company be (we hear you cry)? Innovative enough to win a Queens Award for Enterprise in Innovation, we reply (with passion). We are the first pet food company to have won the award, and it speaks volumes about our recipes and how we do business.
