Lyka

Lyka is an Australian pet wellness company committed to improving the health and longevity of pets through a holistic and preventative approach. They specialize in providing fresh, human-grade, gently cooked dog food meals delivered directly to customers’ doors. Lyka differentiates itself by using ethically sourced, sustainable ingredients and being carbon-negative, making them a leader in responsible pet food production.

Lyka's mission is to increase the lifespan of dogs and cats by addressing the root causes of common pet health issues, such as dental disease, cancer, and obesity, rather than just treating symptoms. They offer a range of complete and balanced meal options for various life stages and dietary needs, formulated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists and veterinarians. Lyka also offers a line of supplements designed to address specific health concerns, such as joint health, gut health, and skin health.

Lyka offers flexible working hours, including the ability to work overtime in response to emergencies. They also provide 12 weeks of paid parental leave for primary and secondary carers, alongside 2 weeks of miscarriage leave in the first twenty weeks. Furthermore, if you have been at Lyka for over two years, you are eligible for 18 paid weeks of parental leave for both primary and secondary carers.

Lyka offers a range of employee benefits designed to support both personal and professional growth. These include opportunities for career development with an annual budget for personal development, a focus on sustainability, and a diverse and talented team. They also provide generous parental and miscarriage leave, wellbeing assistance, and support for pupper parents, including pet-friendly offices, discounts, and financial allowances for dog training and care.

Lyka is on a mission to increase the lifespan of dogs and cats by taking a preventative, holistic and personalized approach to pet care. They believe that the current pet care industry is focused on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of health issues, and they aim to change that by providing nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered directly to pet owners' doors. Lyka believes that a fresh, real food diet is the key to a longer, healthier life for pets.

Lyka fosters a culture that prioritizes passion for pets and their well-being, innovation, and sustainability. The company emphasizes a collaborative and supportive work environment where individuals are encouraged to contribute their unique talents and experiences. A strong emphasis is placed on personal and professional growth, with opportunities for development and advancement. Lyka also values a positive and fun work environment, reflected in their pet-friendly policies and initiatives.

Lyka is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, celebrating the unique backgrounds and experiences of its employees. They are dedicated to creating an environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability. They actively encourage people of all backgrounds to apply for open positions and are committed to providing support and access requirements to all applicants.
