CANIDAE Visits Holistic Pet Foods of Australia

3/7/2011

This past February Frank Hon, CANIDAE’s Director of Operations and Manny Rosillo, International Sales Manager, visited CANIDAE’s distributor for Australia, Holistic Pet Foods of Australia. Based in Berwick, a suburb of Melbourne, Holistic Pet Foods joined the CANIDAE team of international distributors in the spring of 2010. Frank and Manny were pleased to meet in person Holistic Pet Foods’ Company Directors, Peter Jensen and Peter Phillips, who showed them very cordial hospitality during their entire stay in Australia. Holistic Pet Foods’ installations, warehouse and operations are impressive and first-rate. This trip provided the opportunity to establish a closer working relationship between CANIDAE and Holistic Pet Foods.

On February 19th and 20th, Holistic Pet Foods of Australia participated in the Melbourne Pet & Animal Expo, which attracts over 15,000 animal lovers. Large numbers of the public visited the CANIDAE booth and Frank and Manny observed the great interest of Australian consumers in CANIDAE products, especially the grain free formulas.

Visits to various pet shops were a valuable avenue for Frank and Manny to gain first-hand knowledge of the pet food market in Australia.

Holistic Pet Foods’ sales force and staff gained an overview of all CANIDAE and FELIDAE products, in a presentation by Frank Hon. His talk emphasized the benefits of CANIDAE, why only the highest quality ingredients are used and the new formulas.

CANIDAE has a very promising future in Australia, thanks to the inspiring motivation of Peter Jensen, Peter Phillips and their sales force and staff at Holistic Pet Foods of Australia.
