PAWTUCKET, RI (September 5, 2025) - Pet Food Experts (PFX), the leading pet specialty distributor in the US, is excited to announce the expansion of Portland Pet Food Company within its already-impressive brand portfolio. PFX will now offer Portland Pet Food Company's line of fresh, human-grade dog and cat foods and treats to retailers in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, Ohio Valley and Mountain regions.
"All of us at Pet Food Experts are inspired by the Portland Pet Food Company story and their commitment to real, fresh ingredients," said Nate Benner, Director of Vendor Development at Pet Food Experts. "That commitment to quality and pet health makes them a natural fit, not only for PFX, but also for our retailers and their customers."
Inspired by a deeply personal mission to improve the health of her beloved poodle, Rosie, Portland Pet Food Company founder, Katie McCarron, turned to fresh, home-cooked meals made from the same real ingredients Katie fed her family. Adding three, love-filled years to Rosie's life, Katie went on to create Portland Pet Food Company, with the goal of bringing real food nutrition to pets everywhere.
"We are so excited to not only be reaching even more pet retailers," said Katie. "but also to be doing it with Pet Food Experts, a distributor that shares our values."
So don’t miss your chance to bring Portland Pet Food Company's nutritious products to your location!
