About PetRetailGroup.net

PetRetailGroup.net is the national commercialization engine for the Em-Bark pet industry ecosystem — helping pet product brands reach retail stores, veterinary clinics, pet spas, farm supply chains, and specialty retailers across the United States.

With over 35 years of experience, our sales team and broker network helps brands navigate every pet retail channel: independent pet stores, pet supermarkets, veterinary clinics and hospitals, pet spas and grooming salons, farm and feed retailers, hardware stores with pet sections, garden centers, and online pet marketplaces.

We provide coordinated retail launch campaigns, B2B ordering platforms, wholesale catalog management, distributor partnerships, and in-store marketing programs that build consumer demand and long-term retail relationships.

The platform supports start-up brands, emerging pet companies, established pet manufacturers, and private label programs — providing ordering systems, retail introductions, broker relationships, and marketing support to place products into specialty retail formats nationwide.

Our Story — 35 Years in the Pet Industry

With a 35-year legacy in the pet food and pet products industries, our roots run deep — beginning with two decades of leadership at Nestlé Purina. We were early pioneers in building partnerships with farm and feed chains, buying groups, and distributors, ultimately formalizing this expertise through FarmandFeed.net.

Our deep industry knowledge led to the creation of our own dedicated sales and marketing force under PetRetailGroup.net, allowing us to support brands from the ground up.

Through PetCulinaryLab.com and Em-Bark.com, we've built incubation systems that foster innovation across the pet space, from nutrition to retail. Our cause marketing efforts have further expanded the industry's impact through the development of programs like PetSpas.org, PetParks.org, and PetWellness.org, which champion pet enrichment, community, and wellness.

Beyond product and brand development, we've played a groundbreaking role in television — serving as the original production team behind the Jack Hanna TV shows, launching series like Entrepreneur Magazine TV, and advising key players in in-clinic content delivery, including Petcare TV. This rich history underscores our ongoing commitment to shaping the future of the pet industry across multiple platforms.
