LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Vital Pet Life today announced it has been ranked No. 3170 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“Making the Inc. 5000 for the sixth consecutive year is an incredible milestone and a reminder of just how far persistence, purpose, and a great team can take you. Ringing the Opening Bell at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square, alongside so many inspiring founders, is a moment I’ll never forget.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
