The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Weruva started in 2006 as a pet food company founded by Tat Chia and Tony Tan in Singapore. They make wet cat and dog food in cans and pouches. The brand built its reputation on human-grade meat sourcing and minimal processing. Each recipe lists real meat first. No by-products. No grains. Weruva expanded across North America and Europe through specialty pet retailers. Today it competes in the premium wet pet food category. Among 21,133 tracked brands, Weruva ranks third in Pet Products.
