The truth is there’s just never been a better time to be in the pet care industry. Pet parenting in 2021 rose to 70% of US households, and owners spent 11% more on pet food, per American Pet Products Association APPA’s new survey. That’s an all-time high, with the industry predicted to grow to $275 Billion by the year 2030, according to Morgan Stanley.

How We Stand Out

Certified Pet Dietitians - The Nutrition Authority

Customers rely on us as experts. Our franchise owners, with the assistance of our pet nutrition certification program, help educate and guide customers. It’s the kind of one-on-one support that consumers don’t experience when buying online or browsing dozens of aisles in some massive big-box pet retailer.
We’ve been a leader in providing all-natural pet food since the category began to emerge in the 1980s. For many brands, the founding family’s stores were one of their largest volume retailers in the early days. Even today, most of our distributors and vendors only sell to specialty retailers like EarthWise.
Private Label Power

Our exclusive private label product line boosts customer loyalty and trust, while helping improve profit margins for our franchise owners.

We Have Options
