High Hopes is a unique brand that offers all natural goodness for your pet & real hope for homeless ones because a portion from every sale is donated to local shelter & rescue groups. Targeting the most enthusiastic pet parents who treat their pets like children, the Boomer & Millennial cohorts represent high value customer segments since they are demographically large and spend more on pet food. They also like to support socially responsible companies. All natural and developed by a PhD expert, High Hopes’ dog food & treats have more animal protein, and are as delicious as they are nutritious.
