CEO Heather Govea says dedication to its  expertise in frozen and freeze‑dried pet nutrition — staying in the company’s lane, if you will — has been key to Carnivore landing on Insight’s Fastest Growing Companies list three years in a row.

“Growth has come from staying clear on our identity, doubling down on our strengths, and consistently delivering on what customers trust us for,” she says. “That focus is reflected in our products. Companies that stay true to their strengths and execute consistently create stronger, more sustainable growth over time.”

Over the last three years, Carnivore has expanded into 7,000 retail locations and 14 global markets and operates the largest freeze‑dried pet food manufacturing facility in North America. Its facility investment has subsequently opened up opportunities to grow private label and co‑manufacturing.
