In September 2022, my wife Lynn, a lifelong dog lover, suggested fostering a dog through Social Tees, a New York-based animal rescue. Although we already had a poodle, Benhur, we welcomed a dog named Melody into our home. She was sweet but undernourished, and after three weeks, we decided to adopt her, renaming her Pepper.

This experience ignited a passion for pet care, especially regarding the quality of food and treats available. We founded Lynn & Pepper with the mission to offer healthier, more nutritious pet products that both pets and owners can feel good about. We also aim to reduce plastic use in our packaging to minimize environmental impact.

As the company grows, supporting rescue organizations like Social Tees is a core value. With 66% of U.S. households owning a pet, we hope to improve the lives of pets, their owners, and rescue animals through our products and practices.
