We are passionate about high quality product design

We care very much about creating quality products for the pets we love. LUMO is proud to stand behind the integrity of our first product, the RIDGEBACK; a superior, lightweight and durable pet grooming tool. We are also confident in the excellent workmanship of our manufacturing partner, as proven by the high quality kitchenware goods they have produced for decades, for brands such as ZYLISS and OXO.

LUMO extensively iterated upon the Ridgeback design to optimize it for both performance and manufacturing. During the process, we made prototypes of the model range with our manufacturing partner in short-run molds, to test part quality, product assembly, and most importantly ensure that it grooms extremely well and that pets love it too. The RIDGEBACK models passed our accelerated product life cycle testing which includes; daily professional grooming use, drop testing and metal corrosion resistance tests in soap water environments. We are now confident and excited about launching our first product, and many more products will soon follow.

Our products are covered by a 1-year Limited Warranty. Any customer receiving a defective product is entitled to an immediate exchange for functional one, or a credit towards another LUMO product, or full refund. Full warranty details can be found on the TERMS page of our website.
