Our Story

2010–2013: Building the Foundation in Natural Ingredients

Zenpet began its journey in 2010 with a focus on sourcing and supplying premium natural ingredients.

Recognizing the growing demand for cleaner and more transparent pet nutrition, we established strong relationships with agricultural producers and ingredient processors around the world.

During this early stage, Zenpet developed expertise in Botanical ingredients.

Our goal was to help manufacturers replace traditional formulations with more natural, recognizable, and functional ingredients.

2014–2017: Ingredient Categories and Global Supply

As the pet nutrition industry evolved, Zenpet expanded beyond basic ingredients and developed a broader ingredient portfolio designed for modern pet food formulation. Zenpet developed a comprehensive range of plant-based ingredients, including:

  • Yucca extract powder
  • Green tea extract powder

  • Grape seed extract powder
  • Lion's mane mushroom extract Powder

During this period, we introduced solutions across multiple categories, including:

  • Pet Food: Commonly used as a natural ingredient in dog and cat food to reduce the odor of pet feces and urine.
  • Livestock Farming: As an environmentally friendly feed additive, yucca extract powder can reduce ammonia nitrogen concentration in livestock and poultry houses, reduce damage to the animal's intestinal mucosa, and promote growth.

Safety Certification: Approved as a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) food and feed additive by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (FDA).
