Industry newcomer launches with a US-first in petfood packaging
As of press time, Adrian and Pamela Pettyan, co-owners and founders of Caru Pet Food, were on the cusp of their big brand launch at Global Pet Expo in March 2014. "We are encouraged by the responses we have received from consumers to date about both our delicious (as per the dogs, of course) dog food and the unique packaging," says Adrian. "Consumers have told us that their dogs find our food irresistible to eat and they love the ease at which they can store and serve the food, owing to the uniqueness of Tetra Pak containers."
'We went into this business because we have a passion for creating meaningful, differentiated products that improve the health and happiness of dogs and cats,' say the company founders.
