For fresh pet food makers

Prep exactly what the pack eats.

Lanemi runs your fresh pet food on weekly subscriptions sized per dog, locks the prep count before you portion, bills loose meals at the actual packed weight, and pauses cleanly for boarding weeks. In your currency, wherever the dogs are.

Fresh food, frozen margins.

Fresh pet food is meat-trade economics with subscription-trade customers. The raw material is expensive and perishable, portions differ dog by dog, and the customer’s life keeps interrupting the schedule: boarding, travel, a fussy week. Every unclaimed batch is money in the freezer at best, in the bin at worst.

Prepping blind.

Meat is bought and portioned days ahead. Over-prep and it ages; under-prep and a regular’s dog goes without.

Every dog is a different order.

A 30-kilo shepherd and a terrier eat differently. Multiply by every household and the portion list is a spreadsheet nobody trusts.

“We’re boarding him next week.”

Pauses arrive by message, half get missed, and missed pauses become refunds and thawed waste.

The freezer’s quiet cost.

Batches made for orders that changed sit in the freezer, aging toward a write-off nobody records.

How Lanemi helps

The pack’s week, planned before the knife comes out.

Portions as products, sized per dog.

Chicken meals in 250g, 500g and 1kg portions, a puppy blend, a fish option: each is a product at its price. A two-dog household runs two subscriptions at two sizes, both on the same weekly delivery, adjusted from their own phone.

A prep count locked before you buy.

Set your cutoff ahead of your buying and prep day. After it, the plan locks to the exact portions ordered, pauses included, so the meat you buy matches the meals that leave. The freezer stops being a warehouse of guesses.

Boarding weeks pause cleanly.

The customer pauses from their app, the paused portions leave the prep count before it locks, and nothing paused is prepped, delivered or billed. The plan resumes when the dog comes home.

Loose meals billed at the packed weight.

If you sell bulk or loose alongside fixed portions, mark it sold by weight: the order goes in as an estimate, you weigh at packing, and the bill reads the actual grams. Fixed portions stay fixed products. Both on one delivery.

Money and cold logistics kept honest.

Customers prepay a wallet, topped up online through your own payment account, and each delivery charges as it lands. Runsheets keep the round short and sequenced so nothing sits warm, and insulated boxes you take back run on deposits. We claim scheduling, not refrigeration: the cold chain stays your craft.

Fresh feeding is growing in every market.

Raw feeders in one city, gently-cooked fresh meals in another: the prep economics are identical. Choose your currency, set your cutoff to your buying day, and keep the pet-food and meat-handling licences your region asks for on file, with a reminder before they lapse.

Built by people who buy against orders, not hopes.

Lanemi began on a farm round where meat and milk taught the same lesson: perishables forgive nothing, and the only protection is an exact count locked before the spending starts. That count is the centre of this platform.

Read our story

The things pet food kitchens ask us first.

Every dog eats a different amount. How is that managed?

Portion sizes are products, and each pet runs its own subscription at its size. A household with three dogs runs three lines on one delivery, one wallet, one doorstep, all adjusted by them.

How do I stop over-buying meat?

Lock the count before buying day. The plan fixes exact portions after every pause and skip, so the shopping list is the order list.

Customers board their dogs constantly. Does that wreck the week?

No. Pauses happen in their app before your cutoff, paused portions never enter the prep count, and nothing paused is billed. The boarding kennel becomes their problem only.

Do you verify my recipes or nutrition?

No, and we say so plainly. Recipes, ratios and any claims about them are your expertise and your regulatory responsibility. What we keep exact is the schedule and the money.

What about keeping meals cold in transit?

Short, sequenced rounds and returnable insulated boxes on deposits are what the platform contributes. Temperature monitoring is not claimed; your packing and cold chain stay your craft.

How do trial packs work?

As one-time orders: a new customer tries a week, it joins the locked count like everything else, and if the dog approves, the subscription starts on the same account.

One good idea for your round, once a week.

Short, practical, and no filler. Leave any time.
