We are headquartered in Knoxville, TN but have remote offices in various places across the globe.
At PetSafe Brands, we have an open environment in all of our offices which lends itself to collaboration and a team-oriented culture. We are dedicated to offering equal employment opportunity for all teammates and fostering a work environment free of discrimination and harassments.
We have a culture of wellness that engages and partners with our associates in their health. In our Knoxville HQ we have an onsite fitness center and medical clinic, and we reimburse remote associates the cost of a gym membership. A massage therapist comes onsite weekly, and we have lunch and learns often to educate our associates in their health.
Career development is also a huge part of our culture. Our online learning platform helps partner with our teammates for their development needs as well as hosting live courses each month.
The best part of our culture is arguably bringing your dog to work! It is a great reminder of why we do what we do!
If there’s a road less traveled, we’ll take it. And if there’s no road yet, we’ll build one. That’s The Merrick Way. We lead to win in Natural and Organic Pet Care, we innovate together as one, agile team and we commit to improving the lives of those we love most . . . our Pets.
Pets have always been a part of our family. Garth Merrick founded Merrick Pet Care in his family’s kitchen in Hereford, Texas, with the goal of making the most wholesome and nutritious recipes for our four-legged family members. This love for pets is what inspires our team to build on this legacy, and continue to craft the highest-quality and safest food and treats for dogs and cats.
We are passionate about being the best. We go to great lengths to craft the best food possible — food that our pets deserve. That’s why we’ve expanded our family of brands to include Castor & Pollux, Zuke’s and Whole Earth Farms alongside our signature Merrick brand in our premium product portfolio.
We never sacrifice quality. And, never will. We believe that recipes taste better than formulas and that's why we continue to handcraft our recipes with love in our Texas kitchen. It might take us longer to hand-stuff ingredients in some of our Merrick wet recipes, and to source USDA Organic Certified ingredients for our Castor & Pollux ORGANIX line, but that’s the Merrick Way.
We are one of the fastest growing businesses in pet specialty, and we’re thankful for the unique position we have in the category. We’re committed to staying true to our homegrown Texas roots, and humble about what we’ve accomplished. We like to think of ourselves as the craft brewery of the industry – we bring an entrepreneurial spirit and level of creativity that is rather unique to the pet food space. We know it’s the people – and their pets – behind our food that has always made us stand out; that’s why we’re focused on building talented teams that are hungry for the opportunity to improve the lives of pets, pet parents and customers.
