ANF Pet | United States
ANF developed the world’s first application of advanced oxygen-limited
packaging to conserve nutrients and freshness in pet food products.
Over 40 years of experience
The company that created ANF® (or, to give it its full name, Advanced Nutrition Formula) was established in 1955 in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, USA, by Wilfred Ross and Loyal Wells. The company was known then as Ross-Wells and it supplied fresh-frozen poultry, beef and fish products to mink and fox breeders.
To improve the quality of the products produced, a unique manufacturing method was developed in 1966 to process fresh meat products into a dry food form. This process preserved the nutritional value of the ingredients and further stabilised the products’ shelf life.
Following observation, it seemed like these innovative products for fur-bearing animals would work equally well with dogs and cats. As a result, ANF was introduced in the mid-1970s as one of the first super premium pet foods in the world. In the mid-1990s, ANF successfully developed the world’s first application of advanced oxygen-limited packaging for pet food to conserve nutrients and freshness in the products.
Continuing the heritage
The ANF heritage is built on a foundation of finding a better way. At the core of ANF Pet is an unwavering dedication to provide the best nutrition for healthy dogs and cats.
Today, the company is a totality of a lot of brands that offer dry and wet recipes designed to provide life-long nutrition for dogs and cats. The core ANF brands (ANF® Holistic, ANF® Naturals, ANF® Advantage, Precise Pet Holistic Complete®, Precise Pet Naturals® and Precept® Plus) are focused on high-quality ingredients that deliver exceptional nutrition. The product ranges are formulated with wholesome, natural ingredients plus unique and beneficial supplements that promote health, harmony and happiness in dogs and cats.
Building for tomorrow
With all that ANF has accomplished, the company is excited to reinvigorate current product ranges with plans to launch new brands, to offer a full range of foods to satisfy the needs of pets and their owners. The company is always looking for more distributors or direct pet store chain customers around the world.
