Our Story

We originally developed WeRuVa, a luxurious, natural pet food, for our three rescued cats, Webster, Rudi and Vanessa, after searching for the best cat food under the sun. When the best wasn’t good enough, we sourced quality ingredients, developed some fantastic recipes, and created it ourselves.

Naturally, when we were lucky enough to have our rescued dog Baron enter our family, we decided to expand our products to include dog food.

Our pet food is produced in a human food facility using many of the ingredients and processes used in products made for people. Base proteins include top-quality muscle meat like white breast chicken, whole tuna loins and select cuts of beef.

Then we add fresh vegetables and other unique ingredients like grilled skipjack, tilapia and red bigeye tuna, as well as calamari and shirasu. Our ingredients maintain a natural look and recognizable texture which allows you (and us!) to see and understand the ingredients…so what you see is what you get!

What's In The Name?

Founded in 2006, Weruva was named after David and Stacie Forman’s three rescued cats. They’ve since adopted a dog, Baron, but are hesitant to rename the company Weruvaba)

Born in the Bronx with a tough exterior, I reached out from my shelter cage and won my Daddy's heart, forming a special bond that keeps me close to him at all times.
I may be the “RU” in WeRUva, but I was the first to make my way into Mommy and Daddy’s hearts, hand-picking them as my forever family after finding them on a chilly November night.
As the “Princess” of the family, I was rescued from neglect and found my forever home with Mommy and Daddy, who now call me Peanut and adore me for my sweet nature and regal presence.
Found on the streets of New Jersey and cared for at the shelter, I quickly became a Mommy’s Boy after she visited me every weekend, and now I live happily with my siblings, though my eyes are always on her.
