Dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We grew up with them, we got our first dog together in 2008, and now we have four party animals (Penny, Pearl, Pebbles, and Petey – try saying that fast). But most dog brands have never really spoken to us or felt true to what pet parenting is like. Dogs can be sweet, playful, silly – but also messy, unhinged, and even sometimes, total trolls (we see those side eyes). But no matter what, we love them. So much. Too much? And because of that, we wanted to make something different – a brand for pets and their people.
Y’all know we take food seriously in this house, so we’ve developed premium quality dry food for dogs that’s every bit as nutritious as fresh – but way more convenient and affordable. We’re also a space for learning more about dogs (care of our Chief Vet Dr. Kwane Stewart) and for celebrating them with the fun and humor they deserve. (Check out Tails). Oh, and merch. We needed some good dog merch!
We’re proud to be founders at Kismet, but the real stars here are dogs and the humans who love them. We're excited you found us. It’s Kismet.

Dr. Kwane
Partnering with board certified vet nutritionists and a team of expert formulators, Kismet selected the best natural ingredients to develop a complete and balanced range of food for dogs at all life stages.
Dr. Kwane Stewart is the Chief Veterinary Officer at Kismet. With over two decades of experience in veterinary medicine and a recognized commitment to animal welfare, his leadership is instrumental in guiding Kismet’s product development and ensuring the highest standards of pet health and nutrition.

Since starting Project Street Vet in 2020, he and his volunteer teams have treated thousands of animals while giving their human parents hope and dignity, too – aligning with Kismet’s mission and brand ethos.
