EarthWise is founded on the principle that pets are an integral part of the family. With over 40 years dedicated to providing pets with premium nutrition, safe products, and exceptional grooming, daycare, and self-wash services, we prioritize their well-being. Our business model is designed to empower our franchisees, offering various franchise concepts to suit different investment preferences, including GROOMBAR, PET DEPOT, and EarthWise Pet franchises.

The pet care sector is experiencing an unprecedented boom. In 2021, pet parenting in the US climbed to encompass 70% of households, with spending on pet food increasing by 11%, as reported by the American Pet Products Association (APPA). This surge has set a new record, and forecasts from Morgan Stanley suggest the industry will expand to $275 Billion by 2030.

How We Stand Out

Certified Pet Dietitians - The Nutrition Authority

Our customers view us as the authority in pet care. Thanks to our pet nutrition certification program, our franchise owners are equipped to offer education and personalized guidance. This level of individual support is something that simply can’t be matched by online shopping or navigating the vast aisles of large-scale pet retailers.

Since the advent of the all-natural pet food movement in the 1980s, we’ve been at the forefront. In the initial stages, many brands saw the founding family’s stores as key high-volume outlets. Today, the majority of our distributors and vendors remain exclusive to specialty retailers such as EarthWise, helping to solidify our unique position in the market.
