Brand Story
Who We Are
We are a Singapore-based premium pet treat brand producing freeze-dried, restaurant-grade pet nutrition. All products are manufactured in-house at our ISO22000-compliant facility in Tuas, built to modern human food production standards.
Project of love for our shiba, taki
How It Started
TAKI began because a Shiba named Taki loved freeze-dried salmon, and the founders couldn't find anywhere that made it the way a restaurant would. So they made it themselves – and then made it for everyone else's furkids too.
The realisation behind it was simple: the food industry treats human food as the main event and pet food as the leftovers. We don't see it that way. The furkid is family. We hold their food to family standards – same producers, same sourcing discipline, same care.
The Taki Philosophy
Furkid is family. We hold their food to family standards.
Same producers
As your own food
Same standards
ISO22000 certified
Same care
No compromises made
The People – And Furkids – Behind Taki
Built by pet people, for pet people.
Taki
The Original
A red Shiba with a big personality and an even bigger appetite. Taki is the reason any of this exists — one bite of freeze-dried salmon and TAKI was born. He takes quality control very seriously.
Buddy
The Sidekick
A lockdown baby who arrived and never left. Buddy is Nick's constant companion and most enthusiastic product tester. If Buddy won't eat it, it doesn't ship.
Nick Kuang
Co-Founder
Born in China, schooled in Australia, rooted in Singapore. After 10 years in banking, Nick followed a quieter instinct — the best things are built around what you genuinely love. Today that's Buddy, and TAKI.
Junchen Hong
Co-Founder
Junchen has always loved feeding people and great produce at the source. After BCG and some restaurants, he and Nick built TAKI — the same thread: source the best, treat those at your table as family. He has a knack for working with the best producers and convincing them to supplying him directly.
From Port to Plate
Our Ingredient Advantage
Our vertically integrated ecosystem gives us a unique edge in sourcing and quality. Through our family of businesses, including a 50-year seafood wholesaler (Hai Sia Seafood), a high-end Japanese seafood supply chain (Gyoren), and our own restaurant (Hup Lok) and retail brands, we have direct access to premium ingredients and full control over quality at every stage. All Taki products are free from preservatives and additives.
Years in Seafood
Family wholesale heritage giving us unmatched access to restaurant-grade proteins.
Restaurant-grade Sourcing
The same standard as the food on your plate — applied to every treat in the bag.
ISO22000 Facility
Made at our own facility, not outsourced — full traceability from source to bag.
More than a brand
Beautiful enough to show. Fine enough to plate.
TAKI is built around a deep belief that the bond between owner and pet deserves to be celebrated – in the ingredients we choose, the design we bring to everything we make, and the community we are building around it. We are furkid people ourselves. That matters to us, and we think it'll matter to you.
Building Community
Giving back
Over the years we have partnered with organisations close to our hearts, because we believe a business should leave things a little better than it found them. One partnership that means a great deal to us is with the Autism Association Singapore — a community we show up for every year end, and plan to keep showing up for.
