Pet Honesty to Celebrate its Top Five Mission-Driven Milestones at SuperZoo

Pet Honesty will exhibit at SuperZoo, the largest annual North American pet retailer event, on Aug. 16 to 18 in Las Vegas. The brand will highlight its top five mission-driven milestones reached to commemorate five years of growth.

Milestone #1: Earned over 110,000 five-star reviews online from pet parents who reinforce Pet Honesty's health supplements offer an effective, positive benefit for their pet's targeted health support need. This vote of consumer confidence has helped Pet Honesty rank among the top pet health supplement brands in the U.S.

Milestone #2: Grew from two employees in 2018 to 47 full-time pet lovers in 2023. Every employee commits one day per quarter to volunteering at their local pet shelters through the brand's Social Impact program. Guiding employees' knowledge of pet health starts from within as the leadership team includes Dr. Greg Reinhart, who has a PhD in animal health and nutrition science and is a veteran leader in the pet health food industry.

Milestone #3: Donated in-kind donations valued at $1.05 million to 130 non-profit pet organizations in 36 states, increasing annual donations in conjunction with the brand's sales growth.

The organizations serve rescue, adoption, and foster home support, and Pet Honesty is committed to continue to help supply their needs for essential pet health products. 

Milestone #4: Introduced over 50 new pet supplement and health products innovations through the lens of the Pet Honesty Pledge. This involves a pledge for safe and natural ingredients, testing for proven efficacy results, and tastes that pets love. Pet Honesty grew from five products in 2018 to now offer an array of targeted health support products within eight core pet health need states. In response to cats' equal health needs as dogs, the brand increased its investment in cat health to innovate a new format for its award-winning, dual texture cat supplements.

Milestone #5: Achieved rapid omnichannel growth, expanding to 7,000 retail stores nationwide.
