Antelope is reimagining pet care through a modern omnichannel platform built for today's pet parents. Since launching in 2021, we've been on a mission to raise the standard for what pets eat, how they're cared for, and the brands behind it all.

Our name says it all. Ante means raising the bar. Lope means moving forward together. That's exactly what we're doing by acquiring and growing some of the most loved natural pet brands in the market.

Backed by Alpine Investors, we've already brought together a standout portfolio including Bocce's Bakery, Diggin' Your Dog / Super Snouts, My Perfect Pet, and Ark Naturals. And we're just getting started. With plans to continue expanding, we're building the go-to house of brands for independent pet retailers and passionate pet parents alike.

We're looking for someone who wants to own their territory and build something meaningful across Texas and surrounding markets. This role is at the heart of our independent pet channel.
