Her recipes are fit for all her children, but specifically formulated for the furry ones. Nadereh's years of research and testing have resulted in a product that is transforming the health of the beloved animals under our care.

Iman

THE BIZ WIZ

Iman is the visionary behind Lola & Baxter brand and concept. He was still working as a business consultant at a Fortune 500 firm when Mom shared that the vet wanted to carry Lola & Baxter recipes. Putting his analytical skills to use, he began extensive research on the dog food industry. It wasn't long before he realized the market was saturated with foods and brands that were intentionally misleading to put it nicely. Iman is on a mission to deliver Mom's healing recipes with a customer service experience that is, bar none, the absolute best.
