Been digging for data all day and I found your site on an off search. Great stuff, it’s nice to finally see some real analytics of the industry. Did a search about online end of things and did not see anything that you posted… Want to write something about the online side of the business?

Hi!
I am desperately seeking advice from those who understand financing and the strength of this industry! I’ve written a business plan to open a pet retail store in my area (we are in serious need of a pet store), but how do I get an investor interested? I know this industry and I know I can do this. Any advice you can pass along?
Thanks,
Robyn

Keep up the great blog. As a former Target buyer and now leading a social entrepreneurship that applies for-profit practices to animal welfare issues…this is both insightful and stimulating. Keep writing about the pet industry!

Did I imagine a headline on my Bryan Jaffe RSS feed about C&P? Hadn’t read it quite yet, was planning on reading it over lunch today but now I can’t find it. Did I imagine that?

Bryan,
I’ve been doing some research in the Veterinary market but more on the B2B Tech/IT side as opposed to B2C market. I would really appreciate a copy of your market trends report as it would supplement my research from the consumer/retail side of the industry.
