With deep roots in the pet industry, our distribution business was literally born out of the back of a pet store. Over 75 years of family history and 4 generations later, our basic principles have stayed the same.

Pet Food Experts carries a lot of brands that I stock so being able to order most of my inventory from one place is really convenient. All their internal and external reps are friendly and helpful. They are always willing to go the extra mile to help you out with whatever issues you might be having.
