What stands out

  • About 95% of orders are recurring subscriptions, so revenue builds up rather than starting from zero each period (year to April 2025)
  • Revenue rose 54.9% and operating profit rose 550.6% in the year to April 2026
  • Dog food and cat food sell in roughly equal amounts, giving it a foothold in cats, the segment where the number kept in Japan is still rising

What could go wrong

  • The total number of dogs and cats kept in Japan is edging down; the market grows because owners spend more per animal, not because there are more animals
  • Competition from large domestic and foreign brands is intense, and higher raw material and logistics costs could squeeze margins
  • The company has never paid a dividend since it was founded, and plans none for the year to April 2027 either

About the company

A pet products company that sells its own additive-free dog and cat food brand directly to consumers, mainly as a subscription on its own online store.

How it makes money

Its core is direct-to-consumer sales: it sells dog food, cat food and supplements under its own 犬猫生活 (Inuneko Seikatsu) brand through its own online store, which accounted for about 91% of revenue in the year to April 2025. About 95% of orders are recurring subscription deliveries, and it had roughly 56,000 subscription members at the end of April 2025. It also runs veterinary clinics and a grooming salon, which give it face-to-face contact with owners and help spread awareness of the brand.

Where growth is meant to come from

In the year to April 2026, heavy advertising to win new customers and the start of veterinary clinic operations through M&A lifted revenue to about 4.5 billion yen, up 54.9%, and operating profit to about 600 million yen, up 550.6%. For the year to April 2027 the company plans revenue of about 5.7 billion yen, up 26.5%, and operating profit of about 700 million yen, up 19.3%. It puts its own share of the domestic pet food market at under 1% as of 2025 and treats that as its room to grow. The money raised at listing is earmarked for advertising to build brand awareness and win new customers.
