How to Find Wholesale Pet Suppliesfor Your Retail Store

The pet industry continues to boom, with global pet care spending projected to exceed $300 billion by 2026. Whether you’re running a brick-and-mortar store or building your online pet business, success starts with one thing: finding reliable wholesale pet supplies.

If you’ve ever struggled with inconsistent suppliers, poor product quality, or high MOQs (minimum order quantities), this blog will show you how to overcome that. From industry-trusted

brands like Durvet Ivermectin, Panacur, and K9 Advantage, to everyday accessories, we’ll cover everything you need to know to find the right pet wholesalers for your business.

Why Buying Wholesale is Essential

Retail profit margins depend on sourcing. Buying at retail prices and trying to resell doesn’t work at scale. Purchasing directly from wholesale pet supply distributors allows you to:

• Maintain healthy margins

• Offer competitive pricing

• Scale inventory based on demand

• Access better shipping terms and bulk discounts

But where do you start?

1.  Define What You Need

Before contacting any supplier, clearly outline:

• The pet categories you serve (e.g., dogs, cats, horses, exotic animals)

• The type of products you want (food, supplements, grooming, accessories, etc.)

• Your monthly or quarterly buying volume

• Any brands you want to stock (like Durvet, K9 Advantage, or Panacur)

This helps you filter suppliers quickly and saves both parties time.

2.  Source from Verified Wholesalers

Look for wholesalers who:

• Specialize in pet products

• Offer genuine brand-name goods

• Are willing to share certifications or distributor licenses

• Allow flexible MOQs for small to medium businesses

• Offer transparent pricing and communication

Tip: Work with companies like Alpman Supplies, who already have relationships with trusted manufacturers and offer both bulk supply and paid sourcing services.

3.  Consider a Sourcing Service

Sometimes the exact product you want isn’t listed in a wholesaler’s catalog. That’s where a

sourcing service can be a game changer. At Alpman Supplies, our team can help you:

• Find hard-to-locate products like Durvet Ivermectin or Panacur Dewormer

• Compare multiple supplier quotes

• Vet supplier legitimacy and product quality

• Handle all research and negotiation for you

Yes, it comes with a small fee—but it saves hours of effort and protects your business from bad deals.

4.  Attend Trade Shows & B2B Platforms (Optional)

If you want to go the long route, you can also explore:

• Pet trade shows like Global Pet Expo or SuperZoo

• B2B platforms like Faire, Alibaba, or Abound (be careful with quality control here)

• Manufacturer websites directly

However, these paths require a lot more time, experience, and negotiation skills—especially if you’re importing or dealing with overseas vendors.

5.  Focus on High-Demand Products

Start by stocking the products that move fast and are trusted by pet owners:

• Durvet Ivermectin Paste – for equine deworming

• Panacur C – effective and widely used dewormer for dogs

• K9 Advantage – flea & tick treatment with brand recognition

• Organic treats and supplements – trending in 2025

●     Waste bags, shampoos, leashes, and basic accessories

By sourcing these items in bulk, you position yourself as a reliable, value-driven pet retailer.

Bonus Tip: Watch for MOQ Flexibility

New businesses often struggle with high minimum order quantities. Look for wholesalers that:

• Offer low MOQs

• Provide mixed-case options

• Allow sample purchases for testing demand

At Alpman Supplies, we work with businesses of all sizes and tailor solutions based on your order needs.

Conclusion

Finding the right wholesale pet supplies can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Start with clarity on what you need, work with verified suppliers, and use a sourcing service when products are hard to find. The right approach can save you thousands and build the foundation for a thriving pet business.
