Russell Breuer

CEO & Founder Spot & Tango

Russell Breuer is the Founder and CEO of Spot & Tango, a pet health and wellness company on a mission to give you more happy days with your dog. Inspired by his late mini goldendoodle, Jack, he embarked on a mission to bring fresh, human-grade food, snacks and supplements to dogs across America. In 2017, disheartened by store shelves stacked with extruded pellets, mystery meats and lengthy ingredient labels, Russell started Spot & Tango to make nutritious ready-to-serve Fresh food. A few years later, the company launched Fresh Dry™ UnKibble, a game-changing approach to canine nutrition that provides dogs with the best fresh food, without the fridge. Today, Spot & Tango has served over 130 million meals nationwide, making prioritizing dog health convenient and accessible for pet parents across the country.
