Carnivore Meat Company, https://www.carnivoremeat.com/ is among the fastest growing pet food companies in the world. International brands include: Vital Essentials and Vital Cat, https://www.vitalessentialsraw.com/ and Nature's Advantage, https://naturesadv.com/. Carnivore manufactures and markets nutritious, delicious and safe freeze-dried food, snacks and treats for pets, affording them the opportunity to lead long, vibrant and healthy lives Our commitment to quality, culture and safety has made us one of the most highly referred companies in the industry. Most of our competitors…at some time…have sought our help. Distinguishing characteristics: 1. We design, engineer and build our own freeze-dryers. This provides a significant competitive advantage, when others are waiting for years and paying multiples higher in hopes of attaining additional manufacturing equipment. 2. We are artisans. There is an art to creating the highest quality and most safe pet food and treats in the world. There are right ways and there are “other” ways. We have chosen the “right” way. Few other, if any, in our industry have the experience, expertise and conviction to become like us. 3. Intentional Culture. There are no “annual reviews” at Carnivore. We believe that every day is a review day. We “call it like we see it”. It may not always be what you want to hear…but we won’t “BS” each other. We encourage and expect decisions to made by our people. Not every decision will be the right one…but non-decisions will always be wrong one. 4. Our industry. The pet industry among the fastest growing, most successful and currently the most desirable of any. It has proven to be recession-proof and virus-proof. “Everyone” wants a piece of it. Whether its direct labor workers who are seeking excellent wages and job security, managers and executives who are seeking a place to showcase their talent or investors have a keen understanding of the direction the industry is headed.
