The products are designed for dogs and cats and include items such as yogurt, kefir and bone broth.
About 70% of DairyPet's sales come from outside Spain, with Europe accounting for 60% of its sales and the company also selling in the Americas and parts of Asia.
DairyPet reported sales of €2.5 million last year and expects €3.5 million this year, a 40% rise.
The company says it is already profitable and reinvests all its profit.
It plans to continue growing through product development and international sales.
DairyPet says it exports 70% to 72% of its sales, with Europe accounting for 60% of its total sales.

What people are saying
The idea came when I was travelling in Ireland, in 2019, and discovered yogurt ice creams for dogs.
We launched the natural YowUp in 2022, in a resealable pouch, a package designed for pets, which do not eat with a spoon, that is convenient and can be portioned and used as a reward or to enrich kibble.
We do not sell to the final consumer, but to distributors, and they are used to dry products.
That is our core, innovation and marketing; we outsource everything else.
