It’s official! Meatly is the first company in the world to sell cultivated meat for pets. We are also the first company ever to sell cultivated meat to a European consumer. It will be sold in Pets at Home tomorrow, Feb 7th, in Brentford. This, alongside their early investment in Meatly, reinforces Pets at Home's leading role in creating a sustainable and healthy pet food industry. It also marks the start of a new chapter for Meatly, out of R&D and into the market. We’re excited to continue our incredible work to scale cultivated meat as quickly as possible and bring our sustainable, healthy, and kind #MeatlyChicken to your pet food bowl! To the amazing Meatly team, and our incredible partners and investors Pets at Home, THE PACK | Certified B Corp, dsm-firmenich Venturing, JamJar Investments, Joyful VC, and our founding investor Agronomics Limited - thank you for all the support. We can't wait for all that is to come 🚀🚀🚀

We’re thrilled to announce another #MeatlyMilestone today. Meatly has completed the world’s first cultivated-meat feeding trials, and the results were spectacular! Companies must build trust and be transparent before releasing product. So, led by Davide Stefanutti and delivered with Treat Therapeutics, we’re excited to share that the feeding trials showed: - Dogs from a wide range of breeds and diets prefer Mealty to their baseline diets 🐶 - Dogs that consumed the food containing Meatly Chicken showed higher palatability than dogs consuming the same food without cultivated meat 🤤 - Furthermore, no significant adverse effects of feeding Meatly Chicken diets were recorded over 134 meals 🙌   We’ll be running a webinar for vets and pet food manufacturers (although all are welcome) on the 9th Dec to share more details on the nutritional, feeding and safety of Meatly Chicken that we’ve done. https://lnkd.in/eN-iMVrb   We’re also excited to share that we’ve brought on board several new, leading investors, including dsm-firmenich Venturing, JamJar Investments, and Joyful VC.
