Mera Pets Ltd · Est. 2026 · London
Mera Pets began with a diagnosis. In 2023 our founder’s whippet, Juno, was put on a prescription diet that cost more per kilo than the salmon in the fridge and listed “meat derivatives” as its first ingredient. The vet was right about the nutrition. The food was wrong about everything else.
So we hired a chef and a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and asked them a single question: what would you cook if the patient were a member of the family? The answer became our kitchen.
How we work
We cook in small batches at 68°C in a human-food-grade facility in south London, using ingredients certified for human consumption and traceable to a named farm or boat. Nothing is extruded. Nothing is rendered. Every portion is weighed to within two grams and labelled with the name of the animal eating it.
Recipes are formulated to AAFCO complete and reviewed by our nutrition team before a single bowl ships. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than dressing a hunch up as science.
What we will not do
- Use a filler to bulk out a bowl, or a by-product to lower a cost.
- Make a health claim our nutritionists would not defend to a vet.
- Put a retention barrier in front of a customer who wants to leave.
- Photograph a bowl we would not serve.
Careers
We are a team of eleven — chefs, a nutritionist, two drivers and the people who answer the phone. We hire slowly and pay above the London Living Wage. Open roles are listed here when we have them; right now we are looking for a Production Chef (South London, full-time) and a Customer Care Lead (hybrid).
