  • Pet Store Industry Trends & Leader Quotes
    Pet Store Industry Trends & Leader Quotes When faced with legislation that would prohibit pet stores from selling commercially raised puppies and kittens, puppy-selling pet store owners and lobbyists argue the policy would put them out of business. Yet, they also admit only 4% of Americans obtain pets from pet stores and their own industry repeatedly points to the fact that a products and services model is the key to pet retail success. According to the American Pet Products Association: • Americans spent $103 billion on their pets in 2020 with pet food, products, and services dominating. • Dog and cat sales were excluded for the second year because they are a “relatively small contributor to overall sales” and are “typically obtained outside of the retail pet channel.” • Despite the challenges of the pandemic, “pet specialty and independent retailers experienced solid growth in 2020.” • Stores added services like boarding, grooming, insurance, training, pet sitting and walking services to have an edge over online retailers. According to Pet Business Magazine, of the top 25 pet retailers in North America only one sells puppies, and that chain (Petland) has moved down the list. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, “the pet industry’s biggest retail chains continued to thrive by leveraging their unique strengths while developing new channels to reach consumers.” In fact, more than half of the top retailers expanded in 2020. According to Ex-Parthenon, one of the largest consulting organizations in the world, the pet store industry has become “a potentially explosive market” as Americans are increasingly spending more on fancy food, treats, clothing, and premium services, and 78% of people prefer to shop for their pets in brick-and-mortar stores.

  • February 16, 2021 Open Letter to Federal, State & Local Government Officials Regarding Pets and COVID-19 Precautions We in T
    February 16, 2021 Open Letter to Federal, State & Local Government Officials Regarding Pets and COVID-19 Precautions We in the responsible pet care community commend the swift actions you and your peers across the country are taking to protect human health and reduce the current surge in COVID-19 infection cases. As you take these critical steps to control the spread of the disease, including again directing business closures, we urge you to continue to take into account the well-being of the pets and other animals loved and cared for by the citizens in your communities. Nearly 85 million American households own at least one pet, and 95% of pet owners consider their pets to be part of the family, according to the 2019-2020 American Pet Products Association National Pet Owners Survey. As the population faces the ongoing effects of the pandemic, including mental stress and prolonged social isolation, many people turn to their pets for comfort and companionship. The ranks of pet owners have also swelled as unprecedented numbers of people welcomed new pets into their lives over the past months. It is vital that businesses that provide the products, services or housing necessary for pet care, and the pets themselves, are included among the critical infrastructure that is allowed to remain open. Just as grocery stores and hospitals provide necessary sustenance and medical care to humans, pet stores that sell food, products and supplies, and businesses that offer veterinary, boarding and grooming services, must remain operational to ensure the continued humane care of companion animals. Pet stores supply nearly one-third of all dog and cat food; that number is much higher for food required for pets like small mammals, reptiles and fish.

    March 18, 2020 Open Letter to Federal, State & Local Government Officials Regarding Pets and COVID-19 Precautions We in the responsible pet care community are extremely concerned by the threat to human health posed by the rapidly evolving coronavirus pandemic, and commend the swift actions you and your peers across the country are taking to safeguard the population. As you take defensive steps by directing event cancellations and facility closures in order to create social distances that will help control the spread of disease, we urge you to also consider the well-being of the pets and other animals loved by the citizens in your communities. According to the 2019-2020 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 67% of American households (84.9 million) own at least one pet. 95% of pet owners consider their pets to be part of the family. It is vital that businesses that provide products or services for the care of pets, and those that house animals, are included among the critical infrastructure that is allowed to remain open throughout the crisis. Just as grocery stores and hospitals provide necessary sustenance and medical care to humans, pet stores that sell food, products and supplies and businesses that offer veterinary and boarding services must remain operational to ensure the continued humane care of animals. Pet stores supply nearly one-third of all dog and cat food needed by the pet-owning population; that number is much higher for food required by other pets like small mammals, reptiles and fish. Grocery stores that may be allowed to remain open generally only offer limited pet food options and they don’t always have the specialized food, supplements and even medication that are required to maintain the health of millions of beloved pets and animals nationwide—nor are they set up logistically to serve ALL pets in this country.

  • House Finance Committee Senate Bill 331 – Opponent Testimony Dec 1, 2016
    House Finance Committee Senate Bill 331 – Opponent Testimony Dec 1, 2016 Chairman Smith, Vice Chair Ryan, Ranking Member Driehaus and members of the House Finance committee, thank you for your time and consideration. My name is Corey Roscoe and I am the State Director for the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the largest animal protection organization in the country. On behalf of the HSUS and our Ohio members and supporters, I offer Opponent testimony on Senate Bill 331. We strongly oppose this bill because it will not protect animals or consumers, will strip the right of localities to regulate problematic local businesses and will be nearly impossible to enforce. [sub SB 331: Section 956.23] This bill will accomplish one thing should it become law. It will preempt localities from enacting pet shop ordinances that protect consumers and animals. Over 200 cities and counties across the country, and two cities in Ohio, have passed ordinances prohibiting pet stores from selling commercially raised puppies. Once elected local officials become educated on this issue and are presented with the facts they overwhelming vote in favor of cutting off the puppy mill-pet store supply chain and protecting consumers. There was a notion presented earlier this week in Sponsor testimony that we need pet stores to acquire certain breeds of dogs. However, according to the 2015-2016 National Pet Owners Survey by the American Pet Products Association, only 4% of dogs are even purchased from pet stores. The public does not need pet stores to find their perfect pet. Responsible breeders, breed-specific rescues and humane societies easily fulfill the demand.
