FRANCIS, WI — Charlee Bear Pet Products, maker of Charlee Bear Dog Treats and Hound & Gatos Natural Dinners for Pets, announced that it is changing its name to Gott Pet Products LLC.

The change reflects the fact that the company is fast becoming a marketer of multiple brands, General Manager Patrick McGarry said in a press release.

“While we are enormously proud of our Charlee Bear heritage, we intend to further expand our brand portfolio as our business continues to grow and thrive,” he said.

“With that said, operations for both brands will remain the same for our customers.”

The Wisconsin-based, family-owned company will be renamed Gott Pet Products in honor of the company’s principal owner and president, Peter Gottsacker. He has owned Charlee Bear Natural Treats for more than 15 years.

The brand plans to introduce new package designs, along with new products, from both Charlee Bear and Hound & Gatos later this year.

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.
