The human-grade pet food company has partnered with Pet Valu.

The neighborhood pet specialty retail franchise will sell PetPlate fresh dog foods at 60 select US stores.

The new regional facility will be in Mt. Juliet and is expected to employ 1,200 people.

R. Michael Mohan has been elected to the pet retailer’s board of directors and will serve on its audit committee.

The dog bakery has partnered with Bar K, a dog park, restaurant and bar, and event space, to sell its dog treats and accessories on site.

Increased household penetration, brand awareness and omnichannel sales supported 2% sales growth for Blue Buffalo in fiscal 2021.

Pet Supplies Plus, Petco and PetSmart have seen promising rebounds so far in 2021; other pet retail outlets have not been so lucky.

The private equity firm has acquired Arcaplanet and Maxi Zoo Italia.

Today, the leading online pet retailer serves more than 19 million active customers and collects $7.25 billion in annual sales.

The pet retailer is expanding its pet nutrition assortment with new private-label dog foods, exclusive Tyson Pet Products formulas and additional vet-recommended options.
