Edgard & Cooper, a Belgium-based fresh pet food pioneer, has raised € 22 million (approx. US$ 26 million) in Series B funding held in November 2020. The round was led by The Craftory, with participation from existing investor DLF Ventures. To date, the company has raised a total of € 27 million. 

The investment will be used by the company to support its expansion across the continent and to improve brand awareness. The company finds sustainability very important and plans to achieve zero emissions by 2025, 100% sustainable packaging and 100% ethical sourcing. The company already has a presence in 13 European countries.

The company had signed a partnership with Europe’s largest pet product retailer, Fressnapf, last September. This will help the company expand distribution across Europe. In 2019, Edgard & Cooper had achieved 145% growth.

By the end of 2020, they plan to donate US$ 300,000 as a charity for dogs and in 2019 they built a brand new clinic with operating theatres to neuter 9000 dogs and 2000 operations per year in the Dog Care Clinic in Sri Lanka.

What Edgard & Cooper has to say

“Historically, most brands used meat meals, and we are using fresh food inclusion. This is our big differentiator. Our goal is to change the world with the impact of what we do, making pet food healthy and sustainable and to change the global behaviour of pet parents,” said Koen Bostoen, co-founder, Edgard & Cooper.
