Why Pet Wants
Pet Wants is a pet health and wellness company that strives to improve the nutrition, health, vitality, and well-being of pets. Founded in 2010, the brand’s specially crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl, all made in the USA. Pet Wants has set a new standard in what you should expect in your pet food and has created the ultimate convenience with free, personal delivery through their 90+ locations across the United States. The investment for franchisees ranges from $137,850 to $219,000, including a $48,500 franchise fee that can be earned back through the Winner’s Circle program.
More Demand than
Ever
The value of the pet industry in the U.S. will reach over $109 billion by the end of 2022 as consumers shift toward a more health-conscious lifestyle. Over the past decade, the amount of money Americans spend on pets has more than doubled, and pet food and treats make up the most significant portion of the national pet food market at $42 billion annually.
A Recession-Resistant
Business
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, when brands across most segments were scaling back and struggling to stay afloat, the pet industry thrived largely because of the dramatic spike in pet ownership that began at the start of the pandemic and continues today. Spending on quality, nutritional pet food is at an all-time high, which makes it a great time to own a Pet Wants franchise. In the past year alone, Pet Wants has experienced a 44% increase in consumer spending.
A Void Ready to Be
Filled
Pet owners usually only have two options when it comes to food: expensive and inconvenient high-quality food and low-cost but low-nutrition kibble. That is why the most rapidly expanding segment in the pet food industry is for low- or no-filler natural kibble. With Pet Wants, pet owners get all the benefits of fresh, nutrient-dense food and the convenience of home delivery — without any of the hassles. That means Pet Wants franchise owners have an opportunity to fill a major void in the current pet food market.
The Beginnings of Pet Wants
In 2010, Michele Hobbs and her wife Amanda Broughton opened a kiosk at Cincinnati’s Findlay Market to sell high-quality pet food to her neighbors. The idea was born after their beloved family dog Jackson suffered from allergies and a host of other health problems, including painful skin rashes. Because the pet food the vet recommended only worsened her dog’s problems, Hobbs decided to attack the problem head-on — researching foods, studying labels and eventually realizing that no commercially available food would address their concerns. Over the next few years, Hobbs quickly discovered there was a huge demand for fresh, healthy pet food and decided to franchise the Pet Wants concept in 2015. Since then, Pet Wants has grown to just under 100 locations across the United States. This remarkable growth has landed the brand the title of the fastest-growing pet franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine.
A Culture of Loving
All Pets
Pets are an extension of our families, which is why we believe the decision of what to feed them should be weighed as carefully as what we eat ourselves. Whether a tiny toy breed of dog or a beloved family cat, we ensure we have the perfect option for all pets. Our pet food is made with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals, free from potentially harmful fillers, bad ingredient choices and animal byproducts that make other pet foods bad for four-legged friends.
A Business With
a Mission
Our franchise owners come from all walks of life — educators, entrepreneurs, activists — but one trait connects them all: a passion for the Pet Wants brand. This pet food franchise not only builds multiple revenue streams but also has a mission to make pets as healthy as possible. Our franchise owners are excited about pets and excited to share the benefits of Pet Wants with pet lovers everywhere.
