PetAg, a science-backed pet nutrition company with nearly a century of history and 100% employee-owned, has expanded its distribution partnership with Tractor Supply Co. This move brings the business's recently launched Dyne Soft Chews and five additional Esbilac nutrition products to more than 2,000 stores nationwide starting in August.
PetAg's Dyne Soft Chews lineup includes four targeted formulas developed with veterinarians — Joint Health & Mobility featuring UC-II collagen and green-lipped mussel; Calming with melatonin-free, non-sedative ingredients like L-Tryptophan and Ashwagandha; Digestion & Immune Support with a Five-in-One gut formula including prebiotics and probiotics; and Endurance & Vitality with L-Carnitine and Omega-3s, with the first two available across the full 2,000-store network and the latter two in over 1,100 locations.
