Omni: Novel proteins for the allergy-prone pet

Omni was co-founded by veterinarian Dr. Guy Sandelowsky and banker Shiv Sivakumar, who both had the same idea: Help pets live healthier lives.

“The pet food industry is definitely changing — and we think that’s for the better,” says Sandelowsky. “At the moment, over half of dogs are suffering from obesity or are overweight, and many will die from preventable conditions like certain cancers. Plus, around an estimated 20% of all pets have allergies or sensitivities, which many guardians don’t realize. In many cases, this comes down to their pawrents’ food choices — which is why we want to provide something better than anything that’s come before.”
