This is our story
Whole Bark began in Colombia in 2018 with a deeply personal question:
What is truly the best way to feed our own dogs?
At the time, our lives were shaped by three dogs with very different needs: a chocolate Labrador puppy with esophageal dilation, a highly selective Whippet, and a black Labrador facing thyroid issues and obesity.
They changed the way we understood pet nutrition.
What started as a personal search for better answers became a deeper commitment, one guided not only by love, but by extensive research and collaboration with specialists in animal nutrition.
That commitment became Whole Bark: a brand born in Colombia and built on care, expertise, and a profound respect for the well-being of pets.
Today, our story continues through Kiwi and Pata, our international brand inspired by the two Whippets who are now part of our lives.
What began as a personal need became a larger purpose: to feed pets the way they deserve to be fed.
Our Core Values
The Pillars that Support Everything We Do
Our principles reflect Kiwi and Pata's commitment to excellence, conscious innovation, and creating a community based on respect, authenticity, and inclusion, both within our team and towards every family that trusts us to feed their dogs.
A genuine commitment to canine health
At Kiwi and Pata, your dog's health is our priority. That's why each of our recipes has been developed with the support of canine nutrition experts and formulated to be 100% complete, balanced, and functional. We don't use preservatives, artificial colors, or empty ingredients (fillers). Just real meat, real vegetables and fruits, essential omegas, and more. This commitment stems from our genuine love for our own dogs and extends to every family that trusts our natural dog food approach. We are driven by seeing real changes: improved digestion, a shinier coat, more energy, less inflammation, and a happier life.
Innovation with purpose
It's not just about doing something new, it's about doing it better. At Kiwi and Pata, we innovate with purpose: creating real solutions for the everyday challenges of dog owners. This is how our cooked and pasteurized Dog Food – line was born, combining the best of homemade food with the convenience of a ready-to-serve, no-frost meal. Every step we take is designed to enhance the modern pet parent's experience without sacrificing nutritional quality. Because when science, technology, and love for animals come together, the results speak for themselves.
Authentic, unfiltered care
Kiwi and Pata isn't a lab-made formula or just another brand on the market. We're a company created by real people, inspired by dogs who are family, with their own life stories and unique needs. That's why we take care of every detail: from choosing our ingredients to how we respond to your messages.
We believe in transparent nutrition, without misleading marketing. Here you won't find fillers or empty promises, but an honest, respectful, and caring approach. Our community is a pack, and we work every day to live up to that trust. When you choose Kiwi and Pata, you're not just choosing food: you're choosing conscious care, guaranteed quality, and a team that loves as much as you do.
We believe in the power of 100% natural food
Today, Kiwi and Pata continues to grow, but we haven't forgotten why we started: Creating real solutions for real dogs. Food that connects with their biology, their well-being… and your love for them.
