DIMENSION makes additional investment in Biophilia, provide of “Coco Gourmet” fresh pet food

DIMENSION Corporation (headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takamitsu Miyaso; hereafter, DIMENSION) announces that it has made an additional investment in Biophilia (headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Kota Iwahashi; hereafter, Biophilia), a company that develops and sells fresh pet food which has surpassed a cumulative total of 120 million meals sold.

Biophilia is a startup with the mission of “happiness for humans from the happiness of animals.” The company aims to create a symbiotic society where the happiness of animals and humans circulates and supports one another.

The fresh pet food service offered, “Coco Gourmet,” departs from the traditional concepts of dry and wet food. It uses only human-grade, fresh, domestically sourced meat and vegetables, and focuses on low-temperature cooking to preserve the natural taste and nutritional value of the ingredients. Every step of the process, from preparation to delivery and storage, is managed to the same standards as food for humans, and it is delivered regularly to customers’ homes for their pet dogs. Additionally, “Myao Gourmet” for cats is also currently available.

As more and more consumers view dogs and cats as cherished family members and want to provide them with healthy meals, Coco Gourmet has surpassed 120 million total sales and services over 200,000 member pet dogs, making it No. 1 in fresh pet food sales*.

At DIMENSION, we have made an additional investment to support Biophilia’s business development and further expand customer support. Through this investment, we will help Biophilia’s customers enable a world where they can live healthily with their beloved pets.

We will continue to invest in and provide ongoing support to entrepreneurs who are dedicated and sincere in their management efforts.
