The strategic partnership will support the freeze-dried and frozen raw pet food and treat brand’s sales in the eastern United States.

The Martha Stewart Pet Food brand offers premium kibble formulas for cats, dogs and puppies.

A recent co-manufacturing partnership could be the light at the end of a long tunnel of supply chain disruptions.

The agreement follows a proxy battle over the company’s board of directors earlier this year.

Supplementation depends on raw materials, but may ultimately be necessary to make a diet complete and balanced.

The dog food company plans to use the funds to expand its retail footprint in several channels.

The new lab will provide manufacturers access to high-quality ingredients, flavors and product design expertise.

According to the company, its products will represent a “world first for the pet food industry.”

Tucker’s, Zesty Paws, Natural Balance, Bailey’s CBD, Paw CBD, Petcurean, Solid Gold, Badlands Ranch and W.F. Young are notable winners.

This freeze-dried pet food and treat pioneer describes itself as “a meat shop for dogs and cats.”
