Meet Kunkay
It happened in an instant, a click. What if we made real what had just crossed our minds, satisfying our intellectual curiosities and love for animals?
A gray day, after years working together, a belated Christmas card came into our hands… we looked into each other's eyes… and click! We were thinking the same thing! A new opportunity, a personal experience… Why not?
Suddenly the possibility appeared before our eyes to make real everything that crossed our minds. We could give it the shape and color we wanted, because now it only depended on us. Freedom and creativity were what we had long missed. However, we had absolutely no idea of the adventure that, deep down, we already knew we were about to embark on!
Whatever it was, we needed to satisfy our intellectual, artistic, and social curiosities, without leaving aside our passion for animals and the desire to know the world and make it a better place. Without knowing it, we had just planted a seed
MARCH 2018 - IDEATION
We have the idea… now what? The first question that came to our minds was: would it be a senseless madness? And to answer this question, we spent entire afternoons studying for months
Millions of questions run through your mind: What is on the market? What does the competition do? Can the products be improved? What will differentiate us? What solutions can we offer? Can we relate it to our interests? Hobbies? Tastes? Skills? Training?
How to define this period in one word? EVOLUTION. For months the initial project idea evolved every week... Kunkay was taking shape.
Finally, in May 2019 we were established, and in July we passed the DARP inspections and were registered as manufacturers of nutritional supplements for dogs and cats.
MAY 2019 - Establishment
Had we reached the starting line? No, we still had one last sprint… buying the active ingredients to finish designing the supplements, manufacturing the first prototypes with the right look and texture, and conducting palatability tests with the most demanding chefs (dogs and cats).
Now yes! Starting gun…
In January 2020 we launched to the market with 9 references, and today we already have more than 30!

And here we are riding a roller coaster: in March 2020 Covid changed our course, in July a human food brand wouldn’t let us use the KAYKUN brand anymore, so we reversed the syllables of it, …. no one had told us it would be easy, but we didn’t expect so many bumps, but here we are with the project, each time with more and more furry families joining us on this adventure.
Will you join us?
