Polish pet treat artisan Naturalnie z Kotfina is gearing up to take its premium offerings global, announcing plans to launch export sales across multiple international markets. Known for its wide variety of cat and dog treats made with locally sourced, human-grade ingredients, the brand has carved out a niche for its small-batch, craft-style approach. While keeping production intentionally limited to preserve quality, the company is investing in bold new flavors to expand its lineup—bringing its dedication to wholesome, gourmet pet treats to a growing global audience.
“We own a farm from which we source different types of natural ingredients, including vegetables, fruit and eggs, that we use to produce a wide range of pet treats," Radosław Kosowski, co-owner of local company Zigger, said. "We buy meat from local producers. Our philosophy is to keep our production craft and high-quality, and not engage in mass-scale production. We see that consumers are more and more interested in such products, and they are ready to pay extra for quality treats for their pets.”
