“Loyal Friends commitment to carrying the finest independent pet products makes them an obvious choice to distribute our award-winning raw pet food and treats,” says Carnivore Meat Company National Sales Manager Joey Weichmann. “They’ve had rapid growth and it’s incredible to expand into a marketplace as diverse as Puerto Rico.”

Loyal Friends is owned by Jose Arias and his wife Yeidie Noy, who used their love of pets as an inspiration for their business.

“Pet owners in Puerto Rico have become more aware of the importance of good nutrition for their pets and raw diets have become a great alternative for them,” says Arias. “It’s amazing when pet owners learn the benefits of a raw diet such as healthier skin, higher energy levels and smaller stools.”

“Vital Essentials has fulfilled an empty niche in Puerto Rico as the only option for freeze-dried raw diets, not to mention the amazing snacks from the VE RAW BAR with its unique display,” Arias says. “Vital Essentials is here to stay as more specialty food stores and pet stores join us in having these amazing products for their clients.”

Headquartered in Green Bay, WI, Carnivore Meat Company has been providing raw pet nutrition since 1968. Its Vital Essentials and Vital Cat lines are premier raw pet foods that feature real meat as the number one ingredient.

“Working with Jose of Loyal Friends has been a great experience,” says Weichmann. “We are very excited to partner with them and to see them continue to grow in the months and years to come.”

NASC Media Spotlight

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
