SAN DIEGO, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: WOOF), a complete partner in pet health and wellness, today announced the expansion of its curated nutrition assortment to include: WholeHearted Plus, an extension of Petco's WholeHearted private label brand; True MealsTM Dog Food in partnership with Tyson Pet Products, Inc.; and new veterinary diet offerings.

WholeHearted Plus, which is now available at Petco, includes affordable, high-quality dog and puppy dry and wet food. The dry food contains tender protein shreds along with crunchy kibble, while the wet food includes delicious veggies and rice along with broth and meat to help support lean muscles and provide energy. Additionally, True Meals™ Dog Food, which can be found exclusively at Petco, features nutrient-dense, minimally processed recipes for adult dogs and puppies. The line of complete and balanced dog foods bridges the gap between kibble and fresh dog food, providing an elevated meal experience for dogs.

Petco's expanded veterinary diet solutions, which are formulated to treat a variety of common issues such as digestive problems, obesity and allergies, can help optimize pets' overall health and wellbeing. At Petco's full-service vet hospitals and vaccination clinics, licensed veterinarians can partner with pet parents to find the right diet for their pets. Petco aids pet parents in the veterinary approval process for vet diet formulas, enabling seamless prescription refills and sharing deals that help make these tailored nutrition options affordable.
