Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. announced a partnership with Stella & Chewy’s that will bring the brand’s raw and natural food products to Petco pet care centres, petco.com, and the Petco app in January 2023.
An advocate of healthy pet food since its founding in 2003, Stella & Chewy’s is the category leader in the raw pet food space, and this expansion helps ensure that more pet parents will have access to the benefits of raw food as part of Petco’s curated assortment of high-quality nutrition without artificial ingredients.
“As a leader in the pet nutrition space and the first and only retailer to offer Stella & Chewy’s both online and in brick-and-mortar locations in all 50 states, Petco is unequivocally committed to making high-quality nutrition available to even more pets across the country,” said Amy College, Chief Merchandising Officer at Petco. “Petco’s Whole Health philosophy and focus on 360-degree health and wellness solutions for pets closely aligns with Stella & Chewy’s mission and emphasis on healthy, safe and palatable nutrition, all in support of pets’ overall happiness and wellbeing.”
Stella & Chewy’s offers high-quality, raw and natural pet food made from premium, responsibly sourced ingredients. Its freeze-dried raw food offers complete and balanced raw meals enhanced with probiotics and antioxidants. The brand’s dry kibble, coated in freeze-dried raw, is available in grain-free and with-grain recipes. For picky eaters, pet parents can also boost their pet’s bowl with nutrient-packed meal toppers.
“Today’s announcement is another step in a mission started almost 20 years ago – to make raw and natural diets more accessible to pet parents across the country,” said Marc Hill, CEO at Stella & Chewy’s. “But that mission isn’t possible without the ongoing partnership of our valued neighbourhood pet stores – partnerships we will continue to invest in and support long term.”
Stella & Chewy’s will continue to offer an exclusive line to its trusted neighbourhood pet store partners, including Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Baked Kibble, Raw Blend Baked Kibble and Frozen Raw products.
Since May of 2019, Petco has taken a stand against selling food and treats containing artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives for dogs and cats. Healthy nutrition is critical to pets’ physical health, a pillar of Petco’s Whole Health philosophy, as well as a key component to their overall health and wellness. Petco continues to be a leader in the nutrition category with new, innovative offerings that support pets’ wellbeing.
Petco offers a variety of convenient ways to shop, including in-store; online; buy online, pick up in-store; same-day delivery; and repeat delivery.
