ENRICHING THE LIVES OF DOGS AND CATS THROUGH WHOLE NUTRITION FIT FOR THEIR EVOLUTIONARY DIGESTIVE CAPABILITIES

OUR JOURNEY

WE HONOR THE UNIQUE AFFINITY WE HAVE WITH DOGS AND CATS THROUGH EXCEPTIONAL PET NUTRITION

Throughout our many years in manufacturing pet foods, we have observed two prevalent issues with pet food. The first relates to pet foods that offer only limited or no functional benefits, leaving dogs and cats without the full spectrum of nutrients required to meet their full potential. The second relates to palatability, where too often pet parents struggle to find a food that works for their companion animal after observing the bowl half empty. Building on our extensive experience in pet food production gained through the founding and operating of Canada’s largest extrusion kitchen on the Pacific West Coast, we made it our mission to nourish the journey we share with dogs and cats by crafting exceptional pet foods that address these concerns.

30,000 YEARS IN
THE MAKING

COEVO IS A TRIBUTE TO COEVOLUTION, WHERE SPECIES EVOLVE TO SHAPE ONE ANOTHER’S DESTINY

Forged in wild landscapes and refined within our homes, our partnership with companion animals began nearly 30,000 years ago at the dawn of a shared journey, first with dogs and later joined by cats. This ancient bond did more than change our histories; it fundamentally altered our trajectory, creating a reciprocal evolutionary path with dogs and a storied alliance with cats who, though they walk beside us, remain true to their wild origins. At COEVO, we honor these distinct legacies by bridging the gap between hereditary requirements and advanced nutritional science. Guided by our ethos, Ancestral Ingredients • Modern Nutrition, we combine the instinctive nourishment of fresh, raw, or whole foods with functional nutrients required for biological optimization. This ensures that as we move forward together, their health remains as resilient as the bond we share.

A STORY THROUGH TIME

HOW EACH SHARED JOURNEY FORGED AN UNBREAKABLE INTERSPECIES BOND

Scientists now understand that domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and cats (Felis catus) are humans’ partners in transformative relationships that have developed over millennia. These evolving and dynamic bonds are complex and unprecedented interspecies relationships that find their deepest history with an extinct lineage of the grey wolf (Canis lupus) from the Late Pleistocene, and the African wildcat (Felis lybica) that still exists today. Understanding their ancestry and the deep history we share with dogs and cats provides us with some answers about how these unique bonds we now enjoy developed between humans and their canine and feline companions.
