Unleashing Seasonal petfoods
"Seasons change and so should your pet's food," says Roman Versch, owner of the Pet Depot chain of pet stores. Why? "In the summer, dogs need higher levels of lineolic acids and omega oils in a lower protein and fat formula," says Versch. "In the winter, dogs need higher levels of protein and fat."
Roman Versch says he has kibble in his veins. He first joined the pet industry in 1971 when he began working for a pet retailer in Los Angeles.

Drama at the AVMA
Veterinarians were on the front lines of the recalls in many ways. They got questions from the public, because they were readily available. The media called the AVMA, wanting experts on nutrition, kidney disease and quotes from the AVMA. They wanted the AVMA to explain what the government and industry had said, and put everything in context for pet owners.

Private label power
From its beginnings, Provimi has characterized itself as a strongly international company, including the petfood part of its business. This identity has held true as Provimi Holding (the parent organization) has acquired other petfood manufacturers and established a network of factories worldwide.
Provimi's new strategy centralizes its petfood business as Provimi Pet Food Europe, located within two main offices, including one in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
