(PRESS RELEASE) PetGuard recently announced that its line of pet foods will be distributed to independent pet specialty retailers by Central Pet Distribution.

Central Pet Distribution, a subsidiary of Central Garden & Pet, is one of the largest wholesale distributors of pet products with facilities spanning the U.S.

“At PetGuard, we are constantly looking to create a sustainable long-term partnership that would help take our brand to the next level and make our products more widely available to consumers throughout the United States,” commented Tim Siedlaczek, director of sales at PetGuard. “PetGuard provides world-class nutrition for pets, and Central Pet offers world-class distribution services to match. We’re very excited for what’s in store.”

Siedlaczek also announced that Jim Gallagher has joined the growing PetGuard sales team as Northeast Territory sales manager. Gallagher is no stranger to the pet nutrition business, having most recently served as East Coast regional sales manager for the Isle of Dogs. Prior to that, he held sales management positions for Rawz Natural Pet Food and Ziwi Peak.

According to Siedlaczek, “Jim brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I’m confident that he will add a lot of value to our team.” Pet retailers interested in stocking and selling PetGuard are invited to contact their Central Pet Distribution sales representative.

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.
