Food Backorder

A year of consumers being stuck at home has created a surprising level of unexpected demand for products and imports in every market, creating a shortage of cargo shipping containers and truck drivers.

These shipping constraints have resulted in an inventory shortage throughout the entire pet food industry as well. Whether due to…
  1. COVID-related production problems and capacity constraints.
  2. Increases in pet ownership amidst the health crisis.
  3. Pet owners trading up to healthier pet foods.
As such, many consumers are unable to find their pet's food in the stores. While manufacturers and vendors are working together to correct the course, this may take some time to get the marketplace back to normal.

What can you do?

If you are unable to find your pet's food, we are happy to provide you with an alternative dietary recommendation. Please send us a message and we can share those diet options.

While we will continue to update you on the progress of food availability, further assistance may be available through your pet's food manufacturer.
