(PRESS RELEASE) GREEN BAY, WI – Leading ultra premium raw pet food manufacturer Carnivore Meat Company announced it has appointed Amber Hivon as account specialist to meet the rapid growth in Arizona, Hawaii and Southern California.

Hivon joins Carnivore Meat Company’s sales team during a time when more and more consumers are learning the benefits of an all natural raw diet for their pets. The company’s leading brands Vital Essentials, Vital Cat and Nature’s Advantage include raw frozen and freeze-dried pet foods, treats and snacks made and packaged in Green Bay, WI and shipped to retailers nationwide.

Hivon has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Arizona State University W. P. Carey School of Business. She has more than six years experience in sales, customer service and account management; in a past role achieving more than 125% of annual sales targets while retaining 95% of existing client accounts. “My strengths include providing top-notch customer service and I enjoy serving my clients as a trusted advisor,” Hivon commented.

Hivon will promote Carnivore Meat Company’s culture and mission by contributing to customers success in her sales territory. She will work to generate market intelligence to support the company’s unassailable competitive advantage as the manufacturer of the highest quality pet food and treats available.

“I think we hit the proverbial nail on the head when we hired Amber for the Southern California and Arizona markets,” says Joey Weichmann, national sales manager for Carnivore Meat Company. “She has that incredibly sought after ‘SoCal’ casual vibe coupled with a tenacious personality that can go anywhere and do anything. I can’t wait to see Amber grow in her new role with Vital Essentials and with her retail and distributor partners throughout her territory.”

Hivon is an animal lover with a five-year-old golden retriever mix rescue dog named Miko.

“I’m thrilled to be part of the Vital Essentials Team,” Hivon says. “I’m passionate about pets and I truly believe in the company’s mission. I love working with great people and I look forward to continuing to learn from the Carnivore Meat Company team. I’m excited to work with our retailers and distributors to help support healthy cats and dogs throughout the area.”

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.
