Pet Food Experts (PFX) announced the expansion of Portland Pet Food Company within its brand portfolio. The specialty distributor will now offer Portland Pet Food Company's line of fresh, human-grade dog and cat foods and treats to retailers in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, Ohio Valley and Mountain regions.
"All of us at Pet Food Experts are inspired by the Portland Pet Food Company story and their commitment to real, fresh ingredients," said Nate Benner, director of Vendor Development at Pet Food Experts. "That commitment to quality and pet health makes them a natural fit, not only for PFX, but also for our retailers and their customers."
Portland Pet Food Company founder Katie McCarron created the company after developing fresh, home-cooked meals for her poodle, Rosie, using ingredients she fed her family. The approach added three years to Rosie's life, prompting McCarron to establish the company to bring fresh food nutrition to pets.
"We are so excited to not only be reaching even more pet retailers," said McCarron. "But to be doing it with Pet Food Experts, a distributor that shares our values."
