History

Old Mother Hubbard

Old Mother Hubbard was founded in 1926, as an offshoot of the A. Hubbard and Sons Bakery in Gloucester, Massachusetts, making small dog biscuits. In 1961, the company was purchased by Jim Scott, a professional in animal nutrition, and moved to Lowell, Massachusetts. In the 1990s, Jim Scott Jr., then CEO of the company, worked with a team of animal nutrition experts to develop the Wellness brand dog and cat foods, which went on the market in 1999 and 2000, respectively. Old Mother Hubbard became a member of the WellPet family of brands in 2009.

Wellness Pet Food

Wellness Pet Food was launched in 1997 by a team of animal nutrition experts, veterinarians and food scientists. Wellness recipes for dogs were introduced in 1997 and Wellness cat recipes were added to the line in 2000. By 2004, Wellness Pet Food became the leading natural pet food in independent pet specialty retailers. Wellness is part of the WellPet brands. In addition to the United States and Canada, Wellness Pet Food is currently available in the following countries: United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia & Indonesia.
