The funding is expected to take the company’s product development for walkie-walkies, as well as expand further into Southern Europe, primeowily Portugal, Spain and Italy. “Barkyn is a unique company within Southern Europe, where the region has higher levels of pet ownership but no inspiring digital pet wellness brands,” comments Five Seasons’ partner Niccolo Manzoni. Founded in 2017 by André Jordão, Barkyn gives loving pet owners a mechanism for helping to extend their best friend’s longevity through a customised balance of in-house developed nutrition and supplements, all delivered to the customer’s door via a subscription model. Notably, Barkyn has created Barkyn Complex, a trademarked anti-inflammatory supplement that can help decrease the probability of cancer.
