Our take
Many dog food options on the market are lacking in complete nutrition. Spot & Tango solves this problem by providing pet owners with a range of fresh, nutritious dog foods.
Spot & Tango was founded by an experienced consultant and investment banking expert, which has given it a clear business edge against many rival brands. Demand for Spot & Tango's forward-facing approach to dog nutrition is high. This is evidenced by the company's impressive funding success, raising $51.8 million in 2022 alone.
Spot & Tango's main challenge will be competing with older, larger pet food brands. However, the company is investing heavily in production and new products, with plans to open its own manufacturing plant. This will help to ensure it can compete with other brands in the coming years.
