About Us

Kawell — Horse by Name. Strength by Nature.

The name “Kawell” comes from the Mapuche word for horse— a symbol of quiet strength, endurance, and steadiness. Our brand is built on the belief that true innovation in animal care should reflect the same qualities. At Kawell, we create products that harness the strength of nature itself. From copper alloy horseshoes to plant-driven hoof care, every Kawell innovation is grounded in science and powered by natural elements to promote lasting health and resilience. We believe that caring for animals should be as natural and strong as the animals themselves.

Kawell USA's Story

CEO Kawell USA

Cathy Halaszi

Kawell USA began as a project to develop products based on copper to take advantage of its antimicrobial properties and benefits in providing solutions to diseases associated with horse hooves. In our first few years, we devoted great efforts to achieve a special copper alloy that allowed us to make horseshoes with 83% copper content, while maintaining similar features as iron horseshoes. We have expanded our product line-up while staying true to using natural extracts to provide healing benefits to all pets and animals.

The Care Continues

Once the company developed and validated our new copper alloy, we began testing the beneficial effects on horses to verify their efficiency. Our testing had excellent results across different countries and continents, giving way to EPA approval in United States and the exclusive patent of the alloy which allows us to affirm that our product is antimicrobial. As the business progressed, we developed a new line of products based on natural extracts for animal skin and oral care which have had excellent acceptance in horse and pet markets for their special properties and ability to promote natural health.
