    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 total investment estimate to begin operations on a new Pet Wants franchise ranges from $131,500 to $202,000 including a franchise fee of 42,500 that can be earned back.

    Phase 1: Mobile Delivery – The Pet Wants Mobile Delivery phase is a great entry point for individuals beginning their franchise journey before opening a brick-and-mortar store.

    Phase 2: Retail & Delivery – The Pet Wants Retail storefront is an affordable alternative to the big-box pet store franchise that establishes a community hub for pet parents.

    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.

    DeNita Carani

    President, Pet Wants

    Carani is no stranger to the world of franchising. Before joining the Pet Wants team, Carani served as the senior director of operations for the in-home childcare franchise Jovie after owning the brand’s first franchise in the Atlanta market for ten years. “I’ve been on both sides of the franchising equation,” said Carani. “I love that franchising allows everyday people to build a lifestyle for themselves and grow wealth for their families in a structured environment. I have owned a business previous to franchising as well, so I’ve seen how hard it is to be completely independent. The support, structure and best practices that a franchise brings are incredibly valuable.” As a franchise industry veteran, she sees a lot of potential for Pet Wants. Spending in the pet industry has reached over $100 billion while more and more people are treating their pets as part of the family, meaning nutrition is at the forefront of their minds. Carani loves that Pet Wants allows local entrepreneurs and pet lovers to tap into that industry.

    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.
