Evanger’s and Against the Grain Partner with VSI to Expand Distribution Across the Western U.S.

New Partnership Expands Retailer Access to the Brands’ Dog and Cat Food, Treats and Toppers

Made in the USA Evanger’s Dog & Cat Food Company and Against the Grain Pet Food are pleased to announce a new distribution partnership with Veterinary Service, Inc. (VSI), a premier distributor serving independent pet retailers throughout the Western United States.

The partnership will expand retailer access to Evanger’s and Against the Grain products through VSI’s extensive distribution network, which serves more than 2,500 retail stores west of the Rockies.

“Rather than merely finding a distributor to shift product between warehouses, our goal was securing a true partner committed to driving brand expansion alongside us at retail,” explained Holly Sher, Owner of Evanger’s Dog & Cat Food Company. “VSI truly distinguished itself through deep independent retailer relationships, a seasoned field team, and a dedicated commitment to supporting our portfolio with targeted marketing, active sales, robust education, and merchandising. This collaboration equips our independent retail network with enhanced local resources while granting us the necessary scale to propel aggressive expansion across the Western region.”

Through VSI, retailers will have greater access to products across both brands, including 100s of award-winning wet and dry foods, treats and toppers for cats and dogs, as well as recent innovations such as Evanger’s EVx Jerky Treats and EVx Functional Dog Food Recipes, as well as Against the Grain Happy Cakes for Dogs & Cats and Slow Cooked Meaty Shreds Kibble Toppers.

The partnership comes as Evanger’s and Against the Grain continue to invest in product innovation and expand their retail presence while remaining committed to the quality, transparency, and family values that have defined the brands for generations.

Retailers interested in carrying Evanger’s or Against the Grain products through VSI can contact their VSI representative for ordering and availability information.
