Made by Nacho

National Cat Day holds special meaning at Made by Nacho. When Chef Bobby Flay set out to create better cat food, it wasn't just about being a chef – it was about being a cat dad. His gentle giant, Nacho, showed him something remarkable: cats are extraordinary taste-testers, experiencing every bite with all their senses. This revelation transformed how we approach cat food. At Made by Nacho, our team combines Bobby's 30+ years of culinary expertise with insights from leading pet nutritionists to create recipes that respect cats' discerning palates. And yes, Team Nacho is full of cat parents who can't resist sharing photos of our own food critics on Slack – and you can bet at least one cat will make a guest appearance on any team Zoom call (it's practically company policy at this point!). To all the cats who make us better – whether they're our official taste-testers, our inspiration at home, or the food critics in your own families – thank you for inspiring Team Nacho to redefine what cat food can be. Happy National Cat Day! #MadeByNacho #NationalCatDay #CulinaryInnovation #PetNutrition #TeamNacho #BobbyFlay #NachoFlay?

Ever wonder what happens when a celebrity chef decides to create cat food? Our Founder, #ChefBobbyFlay offers an inside look at how he's bringing his culinary prowess to the world of cat food with Made by Nacho. ?? Bobby shares the lightbulb moment that led him to focus on what his cats were eating, the fascinating (and sometimes challenging) process of creating cat food - from working with nutritionists to finding the right manufacturers, and all the steps in between. His passion for food extends to every aspect of what we do. Because at Made by Nacho, we believe cats deserve food that's crafted with the same care as a chef's signature dish. ??? #MadeByNacho #PetFoodIndustry #ChefCraftedCatFood #CPGIndustry Elly Truesdell Tom Morton Hallie Bonnar Oliver Fickes Yasmin Siddiqui, MBA Laura Brooks Anna Seeley Berto Brown Tim Moss Jimmy Carrasquillo Jr. Jon Perret Aryana H.

Three years ago, we embarked on a journey with a simple, yet profound mission: to create a better life for cats everywhere. Today, as we celebrate our anniversary, we're filled with pride and gratitude for how far we've come and how much we've achieved. Our success wouldn't have been possible without the love a cat dad, #ChefBobbyFlay, had for his cats, Nacho Flay, Stella, and now Canelo, and the unwavering support of our #CatPack, whose passion and loyalty have been the driving force behind our growth. ?? From our initial launch, we've introduced over 70 SKUs, each one a testament to our dedication to quality and innovation. ?? We've partnered with leading retailers like PetSmart, Petco, Chewy, Amazon, and Phillips Pet Food & Supplies, ensuring that our chef-crafted recipes are accessible to cats from coast to coast. ?? We filmed and launching our first-ever national commercial, a testament to our commitment to spreading the message of cat wellness far and wide. As we look back on our accomplishments, we're reminded of why we started this journey—to give every cat a seat at the table—and we're more determined than ever to continue making strides toward that goal. Here's to celebrating three years of success, growth, and making cats' lives better one recipe at a time! ?? #MadeByNacho #TeamNacho #Anniversary #CatFood #CPG Elly Truesdell Hallie Bonnar Tom Morton Oliver Fickes Yasmin Siddiqui, MBA Laura Brooks Alex Edinger Anna Seeley Rebecca Ulanoff Jimmy Carrasquillo Jr. Tim Moss Caleb Harris Jackie Borders Leslie Benigno Berto Brown Sarah (Hofmann) Fair Jon Perret Julie Nelson Tessa Gould Aryana H. #MaxCyr #AaronFarwell New Fare Sonoma Brands Capital CAVU Consumer Partners NQV8, LLC.
