With the resources of the Ohio Valley region, Austin and Kat will promote growth by getting to know their customers using their expert team of sales staff. “Between the proficiency of our team and the excitement that’s been generated by our new functional oils, we’re confident that we’re set up for success,” continues Kat.

Ryan Dermody, VP of sales, echoes the sentiment: “Pet Food Experts is a fantastic partner for us. Their expansion into the Ohio Valley Region gives Austin and Kat an opportunity to partner with more retailers in this region of the country – ultimately providing more consumers innovative products that improve the quality of life for their four-legged friends.”

It also coincides nicely with the launch of the new functional oils. “All of us are very excited about timing. They take into account the total wellness of our pets. The combination of CBD and natural extracts is one of a kind, and will lead to healthier, happier, and calmer companions,” Ryan says.

Pet Food Experts is a fourth-generation and family-owned and operated company, headquartered in Pawtucket, RI. Austin and Kat is already distributed in PFX’s other territories, including the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountain, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast.

Pet Food Experts delivers to over 4000 retailers in 32 states out of five distribution centers (Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Washington, and Colorado).

The Austin and Kat mission has always been to provide exceptional remedies for pets using the benefits of hemp and naturally occurring CBD. The company’s expanding footprint in independent pet stores is a point of pride that Kat says she warmly embraces and will never abandon. Remaining true to core principles and humble beginnings, which always starts with store relationships and engagement with pet owners, Austin and Kat will always work tirelessly to inspire others to join in a revolution of the pet wellness industry.

All Austin and Kat products are still created by hand, in small batches, using the highest quality, ethically-sourced ingredients. They adhere to rigorous third-party testing to ensure consistency and purity while keeping a close eye on customer feedback.
