My Perfect Pet has been acquired by US-based Antelope, a 'buy-and-build' pet food company.
My Perfect Pet is a Texas-headquartered company that manufactures a range of pet food and treats. It was set up in 2007 by Karen Neola. Its portfolio is focused on “natural, highest quality whole food” with mainly locally sourced ingredients. The company sells its dog and cat food products in three stores in Texas and D2C through its website.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
"We’re confident that with our marketing support, we’ll be able to increase (My Perfect Pet's) brand awareness and sales even further," said an Antilope spokesperson to Just Food.
"Consumer demand for high-quality food for their dogs and cats has increased significantly over the past few years and we believe that My Perfect Pet is a perfect fit," said the spokesperson without citing the source of data.
