CosmoPet: How a Russian Startup Became a Global Player in Pet Superfoods

In just a year and a half, CosmoPet has transformed from an innovative Moscow startup into an international brand, offering premium pet nutrition across Russia, MENA, and Southeast Asia. The company is now setting its sights on the American market.

A Vision for Better Pet Nutrition

In 2022, Russian pet owners faced a shortage of high-quality hypoallergenic food for cats and dogs. CosmoPet’s founders experienced this firsthand and decided to take action.

“We saw a clear gap in the market and wanted to create a product that pet owners could trust,” says Executive Director Evgeny Lugovoy.

With input from top veterinary nutritionists, they developed a balanced, hypoallergenic formula using turkey as the primary protein — known to be well-tolerated by 98% of pets. Additionally, CosmoPet formulas are gluten-free, relying on potatoes, rice, and peas, making them ideal for pets with food sensitivities.

However, the real innovation lies in E-protein (entoprotein) — a highly digestible protein derived from Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL). It surpasses traditional meats in nutritional value and offers a sustainable alternative to conventional pet food ingredients.

E-Protein: The Smart Choice

CosmoPet’s E-protein is produced using a patented process that includes vertical farming, selective feeding, and advanced extraction techniques. The result is a nutrient-rich protein with unique benefits:

• Hypoallergenic: Allergies are rare (0.5% vs. 34% for beef and 15% for chicken).
• Rich in essential nutrients, including valine (muscle growth), calcium & phosphorus (bone health), and lauric acid (gut immunity).
• 90% digestibility, making it one of the most efficient protein sources for pets.

Commitment to Quality and Science

From sourcing premium ingredients to rigorous quality control, CosmoPet ensures transparency and safety at every step. The company adheres to FEDIAF, NRC, and AAFCO standards, with each batch tested in independent laboratories.

Beyond protein innovation, CosmoPet formulas include:

• Omega-3 for skin, coat, and brain health.
• Chelated vitamins & minerals for superior absorption.
• Prebiotics & plant extracts to support digestion and immunity.

A Product Line Designed for All Pets

CosmoPet’s super-premium brands include:

• CosmoDog: Nutrition for puppies, adults, and senior dogs.
• CosmoCat: Formulas tailored for sterilized cats, kittens, and sensitive digestion.

Additionally, CosmoPet Treats have gained global recognition. Featuring E-protein puree and rare ingredients like sablefish, rabbit, and lamb, these treats offer both taste and health benefits.

Shaping the Future of Pet Nutrition

With its scientific approach, sustainable innovations, and rapid global expansion, CosmoPet is well on its way to revolutionizing the pet food industry.

“Our mission is simple: to create the best possible nutrition for pets worldwide.”
