Our take
Pet care has evolved rapidly over the past decade, with owners investing more in preventative health and wellness for their fur friends. This shift has fuelled strong growth in the global pet supplements and nutraceuticals market, particularly for product targeting joint health, dental care, digestion, and immunity.
PetLabCo. develops science-backed supplements designed to address common health issues ind ogs. The company was inspired by co-founder and co-CEO Chris Masanto, whose search for treatments for his dog's arthritis sparked an interest in better pet nutrition. Since then, PetLabCo. has built a direct-to-consumer brands across the US, Canada, and the UK, offering clinically informed products that support areas such as joint mobility, dental health, and digestion.
The company has grown rapidly too, scaling to more than $200M in annual revenue while building the operational systems needed to support international growth, including its use of Oracle NetSuite to streamline financial and inventory management. The company has also secured investment to accelerate research and development and expand into brick-and-mortar retail. So, with the pet wellness market continuing to grow, PetLabCo. is very well positioned to keep leading the pack.
