About Petland

Petland, Inc. is a privately held Ohio corporation founded in 1967. Initially, Petland owned and operated retail pet stores in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. In the early 1970’s, Petland began franchising pet stores and entered the business of wholesale distribution for pet-related merchandise.

In the late 1980’s, Petland expanded its presence in Canada and entered international markets. Petland currently has stores in the United States and international markets including Japan, South Africa, China, Canada and Mexico.

It is our desire at Petland to make a difference in the communities we serve. For more than 45 years, Petland has been the retail pet industry leader in the area of animal care with ongoing staff training programs, in-store animal husbandry systems and community service programs aimed at placing homeless pets and preventing unwanted litters in the community.

Petland trains and educates our Pet Counselors. While their teachings are ongoing, trained Petland pet counselors pride themselves in their knowledge of proper pet care. They share this knowledge in the form of informational handouts, training videos, hands-on demonstrations and conversations with customers. Our pet counselors also connect our customers with pet behavior specialists at the national and local level.

We work everyday to help our customers exceed their pets’ basic needs — behavioral, environmental, nutritional and maintenance. We know from experience that happy pets make happy people.

Petland is a global leader in the pet retail industry with more than 140 locations worldwide. Petland is actively recruiting proven retail professionals for opportunities in both franchise and company operated locations.
