The merger will make Elanco the second-largest animal health company in the world.

The company’s pet food segment suffered the slightest losses in revenue and remains the largest product category in terms of net sales.

The company reported 26.1% net sales growth despite facing some production challenges.

Blaine McPeak has been selected as the company’s CEO and Greg Christenson will serve as its CFO.

The pet e-commerce giant reported a 45% growth in first quarter net sales year-over-year and cut net loss in half.

The company outlined its plans to drive growth in e-commerce, FDM and pet specialty at its Investor Day presentation on July 9.

DuPont's Natural Colors business will "deliver greater value" for DDW's The Color House brand, said Matthias Heinzel, president of DuPont Nutrition and Biosciences.

A power group of professionals, many with deep roots in pet food, are joining forces to help entrepreneurs innovate and scale-up with $250 million of investable capital and an all-inclusive model.

E-commerce and FDM are up, pet specialty is down at the end of fiscal 2019.
