Stereotyping people based on their demographics has become increasingly unacceptable to pet owners and other consumers.

Alphia is a portfolio company of J. H. Whitney Capital Partners, a Connecticut, USA-based private-equity firm. 

Internet-based grocery delivery company Instacart harnessed their sales data to observe what dog and cat treats were most popular in the United States. 

The plant produces Top Chews and Nudges treats. General Mills acquired those brands from Tyson Foods in 2021.

The end of the pandemic seems likely to reduce e-commerce expansion overall.

Beyond the sustainability benefits of the plant itself, the oil from BSFL could help preserve tropical forests where orangutans and other endangered species live.

More than one-quarter of cat owners thought their cats’ body condition was normal, although their veterinary professional classified those same cats as overweight to obesity.

While the percentage of overweight or obese pets in 2022 increases only 3% over 2017 rates, the ratio of overweight to obese tilted to the heavier.

The increase in net loss was due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including US$4.4 million in increased media expenditures, higher depreciation and increased unabsorbed plant cost.

The company’s finances followed a similar pattern in the final quarter of 2022.
