PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PetSmart® (NASDAQ: PETM) will expand its selection of
natural pet foods with the addition of Wellness® brand
pet food and snacks available in stores and online at www.petsmart.com
beginning in the fall of 2010. Soon to be the newest specialty pet food
line for PetSmart, Wellness is made with only the finest natural
ingredients, including lean meats, whole grains, fruits and vegetables,
in wet and dry recipes for dogs and cats.
People often choose natural foods for themselves because they are
nutrient-rich and support overall health and wellness. The PetSmart and
Wellness partnership represents a shared commitment to increasing
awareness of the health benefits of feeding a natural pet food. Also, it
acknowledges an increasing demand for natural specialty pet foods as pet
parents become aware that the same healthy food options are available
for their pets.
“Feeding pets a balanced and nutritious diet is paramount to helping
them live healthy, happy lives,” said Michael Sapp, vice president of
merchandising consumables at PetSmart. “With the addition of Wellness,
we’ll provide our pet parents with an expanded natural selection of
nutritious specialty pet food and treats.”
It was a natural fit to work with PetSmart, according to Mark Shuster,
vice president of marketing at Wellness. “PetSmart has a wealth of
specialty food retail experience and a shared passion to provide pet
parents with the highest quality foods for their pets,” says Shuster.
“They share our dedication to educating pet parents about the importance
of high quality nutrition for each pet’s unique needs and lifestage.”
For PetSmart, the partnership with Wellness represents its commitment to
offering the best products and services for the total lifetime care of
pets. “Our goal is to be the health, nutrition and lifestyle
resource to help pets achieve the best life possible,” adds Sapp.
