Growth is attributed to double-digit sales increases for dog and cat food, 25% sales growth for wet pet food and 40% growth for pet treats over the quarter.
The family-owned distributor will be the sole provider of the pet food and treat brand to more than 2,400 pet retailers in the Northeast United States.

The premium dog food brand has partnered with a leading investor, Initialized Capital, to pilot a “text-to-buy” platform for mobile ordering, customer support and dynamic marketing.
