BioCraft Pet Nutrition

BioCraft Pet Nutrition, formerly known as Because Animals, is a private biotechnology company developing cultivated meat ingredients for pet food manufacturers. Founded in 2016, the company began with sustainable pet nutrition products and later shifted to a B2B model focused exclusively on animal cell-cultured ingredients for cats and dogs. Its lead commercial focus is cultivated mouse for cat food, including a hypoallergenic, nutritionally complete mouse mousse being developed with manufacturing partner Prefera Petfood. The company has also disclosed a proprietary chicken cell line to expand its ingredient portfolio for cat and dog food. BioCraft operates across North America and Europe, with U.S. incorporation and Austrian R&D activities, and positions its products as safer, supply-chain-stable, and more sustainable alternatives to conventional meat ingredients.
