Compassion starts with Animal K.
About Animal K.
Animal K. didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with a silver Labrador named Julius, a lifetime of questions, and a deep knowing that animals deserve better.
Our founder, Simmi, grew up surrounded by the healing power of plants. Her mother—a gifted alternative therapist—taught her early that nature provides what we need, if we’re willing to listen. But when Simmi had children and animals of her own, that wisdom became hard to access. She watched her family’s health decline under the weight of chemical band-aids that never addressed the root cause. She kept asking: If food is our medicine, why do we turn to chemicals when we need to heal?
Years later, when her own health pushed her to search for answers, Simmi returned to a more natural path—leaning into the wisdom of herbs to heal. It transformed her family’s wellness. And then she saw what it did for animals.
Julius, her loyal companion, had struggled with anxiety and stress. The moment those herbal blends touched his skin, something shifted. He could breathe. He could calm. He could just be.
That’s when Simmi knew: if this could change Julius’s life, it needed to reach every animal struggling in a world full of noise, toxins, and stress they never asked for.
Animal K was founded to change that.
The Ancient Knowledge of Herbs
Nature is magnificent. In his Tree Medicine class, Lakota Medicine Man Paul Red Elk teaches that herbs grow in abundance when nature knows there is a common dis-eased state. Each herb has its own spectacular property. When combined with other compatible herbs, those properties create conditions to rejuvenate and restore wellness.
Our specific formulas help restructure your pet’s healing capacity with our revolutionary and unique combination based on the ancient knowledge of herbs. The formulas have been created keeping the current state of ailments in mind, that are evident but have not been addressed. Ailments such as fleas and ticks, worms of all kinds, bad breath, hair loss, old age, will be launched in the following years. All products are formulated to treat the ailment from its roots and not just the symptoms and restore good health. We are very fortunate to have created this alliance to bring the very best of products for the first time to the USA.
Every product is crafted with ethically sourced herbs, to preserve potency—the way ancient practitioners intended. Ultimately, we’re more than a product company.

Our Commitment & Giving Thanks
At Animal K, reciprocity is not optional. We are a social enterprise with a business backbone. 40% of our proceeds are reserved for animal and social welfare. It’s how we restore the balance and harmony that has been lost.
Giving Thanks is a project very near and dear to the founder, where Julius is giving thanks to Parents and Caregivers for taking care of his brothers and sisters. Giving Thanks initiates in December 2025.
