Artie has debuted its artisan-inspired, portioned pet meals that are gently cooked and ready to serve in minutes at the touch of a button.

According to a company release,¹ every Artie meal is formulated by a Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionist and portioned in recyclable and shelf-stable cups, shipped directly to a pet owner’s door each month. Artie is made with a super, highly nutritious blend of freeze-dried and dehydrated meat, fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Additionally, each meal can be conveniently prepared at home through the innovative Artie countertop appliance, which is available in various colors. With just one button, it scans the meal cup then delivers a pre-programmed combination of steam and hot water to lightly cook and prepare each meal. This "blooming" process enhances the fresh flavors and aromas within each natural ingredient for a delicious gravy dogs love. It also ensures each meal is served at the perfect warm temperature, or PreyTemp.¹

What’s more, for this product, Artie has been chosen as 1 of 5 winners of the Pet Care Innovation Prize awarded by Purina. Each winner is gifted $25,000, and a grand prize winner will be chosen at Global Pet Expo to be awarded an additional $25,000 in cash.

"We're incredibly pleased to receive the Pet Care Innovation Prize award from Purina," expressed Scott Eller, co-founder at Artie, in the release. "This is a wonderful, and credible, validation of what we've brought to the pet food market with Artie, and we're more excited than a puppy at playtime to start delivering healthy, convenient and home-cooked meals for pets at the touch of a button."¹

The Artie founders raised their Seed Round of capital for the business in 2021 and are currently speaking with investors for their next capital raise.
