OUR STORY

My name is Annukka Lehtinen and I am a Finnish-trained veterinarian, graduated in 2015 from the University of Helsinki. After that I`ve worked in different small animal clinics and as a country side veterinarian in Finland. In January 2024 I moved to Shiga, Japan with my family. I fell in love with Japan and Japanese people. During my time in Japan I`ve noticed how deeply Japanese people care about there pets. Pets are highly important family members and owners want to provide the best possible care for them. My passion has always been animal welfare and helping pet owners. I had a dream already for several years that I want the pet owners in Japan to have the access to high quality products produced in Finland. 

​

In autumn 2025, while camping beside the quiet waters of Lake Biwa, I was deeply moved by the beauty of Japanese nature.
In that peaceful moment, the final idea to establish my own company was born.

​​

I was extremely happy when collaboration with Finnish manufacturer Vezer Care was confirmed in the beginning of 2026. Their products are widely used for pets and large animals in several countries but produced 100% in Finland. Their products are known for their pure, natural, sensitive and high-quality ingredients. 

​

I truly hope these products bring wellbeing and joy to you and your beloved pet.

 

Please contact me in any questions.

 

Warm regards,
