Pet buyers reorder often and expect the box to feel personal, so speed and packaging win the category. But pet food and treats also carry expiration dates, which means the wrong bottle or bag shipped first turns into a stale-product complaint. We handle the back-end, fast shipping, clean date rotation, and branded subscription boxes, so you compete on brand instead of babysitting a warehouse.
Why pet products need date tracking
A plain warehouse grabs the closest bag and ships it. For pet food that backfires. Send a fresh bag while an older one sits in the back, and the old stock expires before it sells, a loss for you and a bad surprise for the customer. Store edible products next to chemicals, and you risk contamination. We track lot and expiration dates on everything edible, rotate the oldest stock out first, and store food away from non-food items.

How FEFO protects your dates
Here is the plain version. Say you have two lots of the same treat, one best-by in May, one in August. Our system knows both dates and always ships the May stock first, on its own, no hand-sorting. You stop eating the cost of product that expires on the shelf. When a lot gets close to its date, you get a 60-day alert, so you can run a promo or bundle it before it becomes a write-off. And if a lot ever has a problem, we can trace every order it shipped in within 24 hours.
Subscription pet boxes, done right
Monthly pet boxes keep customers for the long haul, and the box is where the brand lives. We kit each month's assortment, handle the SKU mix that changes by box tier, and sync ship dates with your subscription platform so every subscriber gets their box on time. Branded boxes, tissue, and inserts are all part of the pack-out, and our in-house print shop can run that printing in the same building that ships the box.
