Our team members pour their hearts into every product, because our work directly impacts the animals we love. Guided our values of Respect, Integrity, Inclusion, and Ownership, we've created a pet food line that embodies our mission: to enhance the special bond between people and their pets. What makes this line truly special is that it features the pets of our team members themselves — fur babies they cherish and treat like family. Each package features the RIIO logo, designed by our own employees, and showcases their beloved pets, symbolizing the heart behind the food. The result is a product that nourishes pets and strengthens the bond between the company and the furry friends they love like family.
