Donie Yamamoto, Pet Wellness Brand Founder, recognized for the fifth year in a row

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Vital Pet Life is on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment, its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 for the fifth time is both humbling and deeply motivating,” says Vital Pet Life founder and CEO Donie Yamamoto. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our small but mighty team, and the trust our customers place in us every day. At Vital Pet Life, we’re committed to raising the standard in pet wellness with transparency, sustainability, and animal advocacy at the core of everything we do. It’s an honor to grow alongside a community that believes in giving pets the healthiest, happiest lives possible.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”

Inc. will celebrate the honorees by listing them in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
