Carnivore Meat Company Expands Market Influence with New Strategic Hire
Carnivore Meat Company, a leading brand in premium raw and freeze-dried pet foods, has announced the appointment of Danielle Rios as Director of Strategic Accounts.
Known for its reputation in the pet food market, Carnivore Meat Company continues its ambitious expansion strategy by bringing on Rios to foster growth within the independent retail sector.
Rios, who has extensive experience in the pet food industry, including a decade of national sales leadership at Farmina, aims to advance Carnivore’s presence in multi-unit accounts and support neighborhood pet stores.
Reflecting on her new role, she expressed enthusiasm about working with Carnivore, saying, “I’m thrilled to join the talented team at Carnivore Meat Company. I look forward to collaborating with our field sales team and independent retailers to deliver innovative solutions that enhance the success of neighborhood pet stores and meet the nutrition needs of pet parents.”
Nick Ebert, Carnivore’s chief commercial officer, praised Rios’s alignment with the company’s mission, emphasizing her expertise in the independent retail sector.

“Her focus on strategic accounts will further strengthen our relationships with independent retailers, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to thrive in today’s market.”
