Our mission is to produce the best food possible so dogs can live their best lives.

A self-described foodie, Natasha Grassley founded Nutrivore with the commitment to create a better, healthier food option for our four-legged family members.

‍

Natasha spent the majority of her career in the events industry and headed up the Asian operations for a global integrated media company where she was responsible for all aspects of setting up the brand new regional office. Subsequently, she took the opportunity to delve into areas of interest and take on select projects, which included working with local start-up businesses to define their commercial strategies.

‍

Natasha is a true third-culture kid who spent most of her life living in various corners of the globe, before settling down in this island-city which she has been calling home for over a decade. Animals have always been a big part of her life, from the menagerie of strange and wonderful pets she grew up with to the foster cases she still takes on.

‍

The idea for Nutrivore happened almost by accident. But after seeing the noticeable benefits of switching to a home-cooked diet, she was driven to create a service for other pet parents. Her mission with Nutrivore? To offer a product that improves the lives of companion animals that give us so much unconditional love, and build a company that has the power to do good.
