Trusted by Pet Brands That Care About Growth
The Pet Buyer
You're Selling to Someone's Love for Their Pet
That is the category truth. Whether you sell toys, litter, treats, food, supplements, accessories, or a premium product for the home, the buyer is asking a simple question: will this make life better for my pet, my home, or my routine?
Pet parents buy with emotion, then justify with proof.
The product has to feel safe, useful, and worth bringing into the home.
Strong creative makes the pet, the benefit, or the outcome easy to understand quickly.
The follow-up has to respect the buying cycle, whether it is a toy, litter, food, furniture, or treats.
Our job is to turn that trust into measurable growth.
Service Approach
Hire Us for the Work You Actually Need
Some brands need email. Some need paid media. Some need better creative. Some need one senior team across the whole funnel. We can work a la carte or as your full growth partner.
Email + SMS
Lifecycle marketing for pet brands that need better revenue from the audience they already have. Hire us for email and SMS only, or connect it with paid media and creative when you are ready.

- Welcome, browse, cart, post-purchase, winback, and replenishment flows
- Campaign calendars that balance education, product moments, and sales
- Segmentation by buyer behavior, product, pet type, and order history
- SMS that supports the lifecycle instead of blasting the list

How We Build Pet Brand Growth Systems
Four Steps. Scoped to the Work You Need.
01
Learn the Product and Buyer
We study what you sell, who buys it, why they care, and what proof they need before they trust it with their pet.
02
Choose the Right Scope
You can hire us for email, paid media, creative, or the whole growth system. We shape the plan around the work that will move the business first.
03
Launch the Work
We build and launch the campaigns, flows, creative tests, and reporting rhythm with the same senior team driving the strategy.
04
Improve What Works
We use performance data and customer response to decide what to scale, what to rewrite, what to cut, and what to test next.
We Optimize for Business Math, Not Platform ROAS
Why Pet Brands Choose Us
Other Agencies vs. Our Approach
You should not have to buy a bloated package just to get the channel you need fixed.
Other Agencies
- Force you into a bundled retainer even if you only need one channel fixed
- Treat pet products like ordinary ecommerce products
- Write copy for features before understanding why pet owners care
- Run ads and email as separate workstreams with separate strategy
- Report channel numbers without explaining what changed in the business
- Make you educate the agency on the basics of your category
Our Approach
- A la carte services. Email, paid media, creative, or all of it together
- Messaging built around pet-owner love, trust, proof, and product fit
- Channel strategy shaped around your product type and buying cycle
- Email, paid media, and creative can work together without requiring a bloated scope
- Reporting tied to CAC, MER, AOV, repeat purchase, and revenue quality
- Senior strategists running every account, not a 22-year-old buyer

Proven Results Across Pet Brands
What This Looks Like in Practice
Paid Acquisition
Houndsy
Scaled a Premium Pet Furniture Brand Without Breaking Efficiency
Houndsy sells a high-end piece of furniture that also dispenses kibble. We helped scale Meta by clarifying the product, broadening creative angles, and keeping spend tied to real acquisition efficiency.

Performance Creative
Tearribles
+52% Revenue in 3 Weeks for an Interactive Dog Toy
Tearribles is a toy, not a consumable. Three weeks before BFCM, we rebuilt the creative around the toy's core play pattern and product benefit. Revenue rose 52% while CPA fell 24%.

Paid Search
Pet Supplies Brand
+105% Non-Branded Search Revenue Growth
We separated branded from non-branded search to expose what was actually driving demand. Optimizing the right campaigns drove 105% growth on the part of search that compounds, not the part already happening.

What You're Probably Wondering
How is pet marketing different from generic ecommerce?
Pet owners are buying for someone they love. That changes the job of the marketing. You still need strong offers, clean funnels, good creative, and disciplined execution, but the message has to earn trust before it asks for the sale.
Can we hire you for only one service?
Yes. You can hire us for email and SMS, paid media, performance creative, or full-funnel growth. We do not require every pet brand to buy the same package.
Do you work with pet subscriptions and one-time purchase products?
Yes. Kitty Poo Club is a litter box subscription. Tearribles and Swiftpaws are toys. Houndsy is a premium furniture piece that also dispenses kibble. The work changes based on what you sell and how people buy it.
Do you work with pet brands across food, treats, supplements, CBD, and accessories?
Yes. The portfolio includes food, treats, litter, toys, pet CBD, custom accessories, and premium pet products. We are strongest when the brand sells direct-to-consumer and needs better execution across email, paid media, creative, or all three.
What size pet brand do you work with?
We work best with DTC pet brands at $3M-$100M+ in annual revenue. Below $3M, the engagement economics usually don't work for either side. Above $100M, we still help when the team wants senior operators rather than account-management layers.
Do you work month-to-month?
Yes. Most engagements are flexible and built to earn results continuously. No setup fees, no annual lock-in. We turn down brands we don't think we can move the math for.
How quickly can a pet brand expect results?
It depends on scope. Email flow rebuilds and creative refreshes can start showing signal in the first 30-60 days. Paid media usually needs enough testing volume to separate real winners from noise. We care more about building a durable growth system than forcing a fake 30-day promise.
Want a Pet Marketing Team You Can Hire the Way You Need?
Start with email, paid media, creative, or the full system. We will tell you where we think the biggest lift is before you commit.
