After decades in the meat processing field, Glenn's
Market & Catering in Watertown, Wisconsin, took its
business to new levels after it expanded its offerings to
pet food customers beyond smoked bones and pig ears.

everything from pet treats to raw diet dog food and an
amazing array of freeze-dried pet foods.

types of dog treats and produce beef, pork, chicken and

Glenn's Market & Catering buys mostly boxed beef,
pork and poultry from outside suppliers for its retail
and commercial meat customers. The company purchases liver, hearts, gizzards and kidneys by the pallet

frozen blocks.

3-lb. tubs. Many of the other offerings are designed
for cats and come in smaller packages.
