How it all started?
The Spark
In 2019, our founders, Dr. Andy Duggan and Anne Duggan, faced a heartbreaking challenge with Anne’s cocker spaniel, Lauchie. After numerous vet visits for pancreatitis, they discovered that proper nutrition was the key to his recovery. This struggle ignited their passion for pet nutrition, leading to countless hours of research. They realized that many pets could benefit from better nutritional support. This struggle ignited a passion that led to the creation of Groke Pet, a brand dedicated to revolutionizing pet nutrition with products that truly make a difference.
Our Mission
At Groke Pet, we are more than just a company—we are a community of passionate pet lovers committed to enhancing the health and happiness of pets everywhere. Our mission is clear: to provide the highest quality, scientifically backed nutritional supplements that improve the lives of pets and their owners.
