Dog Treat Leader Polkadog Expands to Southeast with Pet Food Experts Distribution Partnership

Polkadog, the Boston-based dog treat company best known for its original, single ingredient Cod Skins, is expanding the brand’s reach into the Southeast with distribution partner Pet Food Experts (PFX), who it’s had a partnership with since 2009.

Independent pet stores in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama will now have the opportunity to carry the full Polkadog line via PFX beginning August 1, 2025.

Polkadog handcrafts innovative single and limited-ingredient dog and cat treats that support a healthy lifestyle for pets. It uses thoughtfully, individually sourced ingredients from its community of fishers and farmers in the U.S., and packages all of the treats at its Boston Fish Pier kitchen. Best sellers include Cod Skins, Peanut Butter Wonder Nuggets, Salmon Says Bits, and Chicken Littles Bones. It has also recently launched a new sustainable, single-ingredient treat called Salmon Skins.

Polkadog is dedicated to doing things the right way and having a positive impact on its community, the pet industry and the planet.

“The Polkadog team is excited to be continuing our strong partnership with Pet Food Experts into the Southeast. The expansion will undoubtedly provide the same high level of service and attention to customer detail that they have across the country which is in line with what we strive for as a company ourselves. This partnership will now give retailers in the Southeast access to our handcrafted, freshly made, USA treats delivered to their door on a weekly basis and keep pet parents and their pets howling for more,” said Patrick Lima, director of sales at Polkadog.

“Polkadog has been a trusted PFX partner for years, and we’re excited to bring their fresh, handcrafted treats to our Southeast retailers. As we grow our footprint, it’s important that we continue to deliver on what matters most: reliable service, strong relationships, and products pets love. This partnership gives our retailers something special to offer their customers, and we’re proud to help make that possible,” added Joe Carras, SVP NHP commercial strategy.
