Values & History
It is our desire at Petland to make a difference in the communities we serve. For more than 40 years, Petland has been the retail pet industry leader in the area of animal care with ongoing staff training programs, in-store animal care systems and community service programs aimed at placing homeless pets and curbing pet overpopulation in the community.
People shop pet stores where they can find answers to their pet questions, where they know their pet will receive special attention. And customer service at a Petland store is very different from the service you may have experienced in most retail stores. That’s because Petland Pet Counselors are trained to ask questions of customers to determine what their pet eats, how their pet is housed, how their pet’s behavior is managed, and what kind of equipment is used to make pet care easier and more effective.
"Our pet counsellors are dedicated to matching the right pet with the right guest and meeting the needs of both. To our guests who already have pets, we are dedicated to enhancing their knowledge and enjoyment of the human-animal bond."
Industry Performance
Recognition of the value of pet ownership grows every day. According to the American Pet Product Manufacturers Association (APPMA), more than 62 percent of U.S. households have one or more pets; 65 million households have dogs; over 77.7 million have cats; over 18.5 million have tropical fish; 17.3 million have birds; and 16.8 million have small animals as pets. With the pet store market size in the U.S. reaching $28.6 billion and exhibiting a steady increase, IBISWorld reports the sector shows promise as a lucrative opportunity for entrepreneurs. This growth reflects a broader trend of rising pet ownership and the willingness of pet owners to invest in high-quality products and services for their companions. Petland has a long history of performing through some of the toughest of times. We've always considered the Petland franchise to be recession resistant.
Training & Support

A few weeks will be at Petland headquarters in Chillicothe, Ohio, and a few more will be at your new store. In this round of training, you will learn how to operate your Petland business, including financial operations, managing employees, animal welfare strategies, product management, merchandising, customer engagement, and marketing programs. As a part of the training, Petland will also provide you with operating manuals and videos for your reference. Petland hosts regular management training programs throughout the year, as well as regional training opportunities. With ample training opportunities, Petland wants its franchisees to be prepared when their franchise doors open.
