Hey there fellow dog lovers! We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you—PawCo Foods is celebrating its three-year anniversary! It’s been an incredible journey filled with innovation, growth, and a steadfast commitment to sustainability. As we look back on these amazing three years, we want to share our accomplishments and give you a sneak peek into what’s next for PawCo.

Reflecting on Three Years of PawCo

It feels like just yesterday that we started PawCo with a simple yet powerful goal: to revolutionize canine nutrition with plant-based, eco-friendly products. From our early days, we’ve been dedicated to providing your furry friends with the best possible nutrition while making a positive impact on the planet. Our passion for creating healthy, delicious meals that are also kind to the environment has driven us every step of the way.

Highlighting Major Accomplishments

This year has been especially exciting for us! We proudly introduced two groundbreaking products: LuxBites™ and InstaBites™.

  • LuxBites™ is a premium, gut-health-focused meal enriched with postbiotics and fermented proteins. It’s perfect for dogs with sensitive digestive systems and those needing enhanced nutrient absorption, and an excellent choice for dogs with specific allergies or sensitivities. We’ve received wonderful feedback from dog parents who have noticed significant improvements in their dogs’ health and vitality.
  • InstaBites™ redefines convenience, offering the first-ever dry-to-wet instant fresh dog food that combines shelf-stability with the nutritional benefits of freshly prepared meals. Just add warm water, and it’s ready to serve! InstaBites™ is ideal for busy dog owners who want to provide their dogs with high-quality nutrition without the hassle of refrigeration or long preparation times.

Our efforts didn’t go unnoticed. We won the 2024 Rally IN-prize pitch competition and secured $2,000,000 in seed funding. This incredible achievement not only validates our vision, but also inspires us to continue to innovate in plant-based dog nutrition. We’re using this funding to scale our operations, invest in research and development, and bring even more exciting products to market.

Expanding Our PawCo Family

Growth has been a key theme for us this year. We proudly opened our second production site in Indiana, which increases our production capabilities significantly and helps us meet the growing demand. This new facility allows us to reach more customers across the country and ensure that every dog can enjoy the benefits of PawCo’s nutritious meals.

We also expanded our original facility in San Francisco, enhancing our production processes and increasing our capacity. This expansion underscores our commitment to quality and scalability, ensuring that we can continue to deliver the highest quality products to your dogs.

And that’s not all! Our team grew by 27% this year, with each new employee bringing valuable expertise and passion to our mission. Together, we’re stronger and more dedicated than ever to providing the best for your furry family members. Our new team members are already making amazing contributions, helping us innovate and grow even faster.

Our Impact on the Planet

One of the things we’re most proud of is our positive impact on the environment. Since our launch, PawCo has:

Our commitment to dog health, sustainability and animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re thrilled to see the difference we’re making. By choosing PawCo, you’re not only giving your dog the best nutrition but also supporting a brand that cares deeply about the planet. 

Celebrating Our Canine Customers

Over the past three years, more than 1200 dogs have become part of the PawCo family. We’ve received countless success stories from dog owners who have seen positive health outcomes in their dogs thanks to our nutritious, plant-based meals. Your feedback and stories inspire us every day!

One of our favorite success stories comes from a dog named Bella, who struggled with digestive issues for years. After switching to GreenBites, Bella’s owner Matt noticed a dramatic improvement in her digestion and overall energy levels. Stories like Bella’s remind us why we started PawCo in the first place—to make a real difference in the lives of dogs and their owners. Check out Bella’s story here!

 

Looking Ahead: New Formulas and Future Innovations

We’re not stopping here. We’re excited to announce that PawCo is just days away from launching a new, improved formula designed for all life stages, including puppies! This advancement ensures that dogs at every stage of life can enjoy the benefits of our nutritionally complete, plant-based meals. Our new recipe includes important omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that are essential for growing puppies. This means that all dogs, at any age, can enjoy PawCo’s scientifically-formulated, nutritionally complete meals. This important ingredient is also very beneficial for the health of senior dogs and adult dogs with special conditions.

We also have more exciting products in the pipeline, and we can’t wait to share them with you. Our research and development team is constantly exploring new ingredients and formulations to enhance the health and well-being of your furry friends. Stay tuned for more innovative and delicious plant-based meals that will keep your dogs happy and healthy!
