Real air-dried food, made in California, honestly priced and stocked where the experts know and love dogs

FRESNO, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Unconditional, the premium air-dried dog food brand from Citizens Pet, today announced its launch into 1,400 PetSmart stores nationwide. The expansion brings the brand’s high-quality, honestly priced nutrition to more dog parents through a trusted retailer they already rely on for everyday pet care and guidance.

Starting today, shoppers can find Unconditional’s full portfolio in-store and online, including its 100% Air-Dried Recipes, Air-Dried Protein Blends, and Functional Toppers. Every recipe is made with real meat as the first ingredient and contains no artificial preservatives, colors or flavors. Each recipe offers convenient and ready to serve nutrition crafted through an air-drying process that helps preserve natural nutrients, support digestibility, and bring out the real flavor that gets dogs’ tails wagging at mealtime.

“At Unconditional, we believe great nutrition shouldn’t come with a luxury price tag or require a subscription. It belongs on the shelves of stores where people know dogs best,” said Avrum Elmakis, Owner and CEO of Citizens Pet and founder of Unconditional. “We’re thrilled to launch at PetSmart, a trusted pet retailer, and make high-quality, honestly priced food easier to find for people who love their dogs unconditionally.”

Unconditional’s 100% air-dried food is produced at Citizens Pet’s Fresno, California facility. Because the company owns its manufacturing, it oversees every step from ingredient sourcing through packaging, which supports its commitment to making premium nutrition more accessible.

Unconditional is available now at PetSmart stores nationwide and on PetSmart.com. For more information about Unconditional, visit unconditionalpetfood.com.
