Addressing COVID-19

During this time of uncertainty for you, your family, and your pets, we are thinking of you and acknowledge that everyone has taken precautions to minimize the effects of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The safety and vitality of the humans and pets we serve are always at the top of our priority list. We believe it’s critical to do our part to keep our employees safe and healthy as we have an obligation to best re-supply our products and ensure pet parents can continue to responsibly provide best-in-class nutrition to their animals.

According to the World Health Organization, it’s very unlikely pets can contract COVID-19. Find more information about COVID-19 and the safety of pets here. We care for your pets and are working tirelessly to make sure that the products you love are available when you need them, obtained in the safest way possible.
