Shawnee, Kansas (Oct. 13, 2022) –

Pet-Ag, Inc., the leading manufacturer of newborn milk replacers, KMR® for kittens and Esbilac® for puppies, came to the rescue of thousands of newborn puppies and kittens impacted by the devastating Hurricane Ian through donations worth more than $1 million. 

In the aftermath of the storm, Pet-Ag is partnering with Greater Good Charities to reach animals in Florida impacted by this natural disaster through a donation of 33 tons of milk replacers and nutritional supplements with a retail value of $1.2 million.
