Despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the fresh pet food company has delivered strong growth so far in 2020.

The brand has partnered with supermarket chain Festival Foods to expand distribution of its functional supplements for dogs.

The company has honed trends toward small-batch and high-protein products for its latest dog treat formulations.

The natural dog chew company is sinking its teeth into growing demand by expanding its headquarters and warehouse in Florida.

The company’s overall sales declined 9.5%, but Purina drove a 6.6% increase in sales over the first two quarters of Nestlé’s fiscal 2020.

The company will upgrade production areas and install new equipment to increase production and export capacities.

Rob Ferguson, general manager of pet food and snacks for The J.M. Smucker Company, highlighted the company’s success in “reinvigorating” its cat food and treat portfolio.

The company first announced plans in November 2019 to transition production in Pennsauken to a high-speed line in Emporia, Kan. to optimize its operations.

The company is supporting the Université de Montréal in its effort to establish a Centre of Excellence for Minimally Invasive Procedures.

The pet food and treat manufacturer was selected by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel based on employee feedback, leadership, wages and work environment.
