About

From one store to a portfolio.

From a single retail store in 2013 to a one-stop portfolio of premium pet brands in 2026 — retail first, then online, then wholesale, then the master-distributor mandates that made HappyPets a platform rather than a seller.

Where we are now

2026

A multi-brand premium portfolio — two import brands we distribute exclusively, two brands we own, and the operating platform underneath all four.

Partners

Four premium brands, one platform.

Two imported brands we hold exclusive China master distribution for, and two brands we own outright — all running on the same channel, field force, marketing and supply chain.

Own brand

EverFeed

New Zealand

An own brand made in New Zealand — the market where we also hold our own manufacturing facility outright.

Own brand

All For Truth

China

An own brand developed on local insight and taken to shelf through the same insight-to-launch cycle we run for our partners.

Platform

What sits under all four brands.

The stores we own, the merchants we reach, the field team we pay, the content we make and the products we develop. These are the assets that decide whether an imported brand works in China — and every one of them is ours.

  1. 01

    Channels we own and operate

    Pet Inn Here is our own store — No. 1 in Taobao's pet category, with 380k store fans and 200+ imported brands operated since 2016. The brand flagships we run sit at TOP 1 in imported dog food on Tmall Global, with Annamaet at TOP 2 in grain-free senior and TOP 3 in low-fat dog staple food.

    Insight that generates demand

    Chinese buyers want low fat and senior-dog health, not the coat benefits assumed overseas. We rebuild selling points, target audience and usage occasions around that need — which made us first mover in senior-dog functional food, and No. 1 in Tmall weight-loss and imported low-fat dog food.

    B2B distribution we run end to end

    A one-stop imported wholesale platform carrying 200+ brands and 10,000+ SKUs with no high minimum order. Price discipline at the source keeps channel margin intact, so partners keep pushing the brand — backed by sales scripts, product training, display and restocking, replicated store by store.

    15,000+Registered merchants across 5,000+ stores

    An offline force on our own payroll

    A national field team we fund and manage, not an agent hand-off, working to a standard sales manual that makes every store repeatable. Only leading stores are signed, so premium brands sit where the buyers already are. Key accounts opened from zero: Sam's Club, Costco, Hema and Li Jiaqi livestream.

    Marketing built in-house

    Planning, design and media sit in-house, so campaigns ship in days rather than agency cycles. Red Book and Douyin run daily, turning US product claims into local buying reasons — and the climb has been entirely organic, with no negative exposure to date. Offline compounds it: Pet Fair Asia, co-branded activations and premium key-account shelves.

    From insight to shelf

    One turnkey cycle: a competitor formula database and third-party tests, plant formulators leading R&D, the right plant and process for the product, pre-shipment lab checks, then a rollout we run ourselves. Our own New Zealand facility sits alongside co-manufacturing partners in the US, Europe and China.

    3 formatsBaked, extruded and freeze-dried

Innovation

From local insights to launched products.

One turnkey cycle — localized consumer insight, formula development, global manufacturing and launch. Every stage sits with the same team, and the rollout at the end of it is ours to run.

  1. 01

    Insight before formulation

    Development starts with a competitor formula database, real consumer reviews and third-party test results — so we know what the shelf is missing before a recipe exists.

    InsightFormula database, reviews, third-party tests
  2. 02

    Formulators lead the R&D

    Plant formulators lead development rather than reviewing it at the end, with nutrition institutes endorsing the finished formula.

    FormulaPlant-led R&D, institute endorsed
  3. 03

    The right plant for the process

    Each recipe is matched to the right plant and the right process — baked, extruded or freeze-dried — instead of bending a formula to fit one line.

    SourcingBaked, extruded, freeze-dried
  4. 04

    Tested before it ships

    Pre-shipment lab checks and multi-dimensional trials run before anything leaves the plant for a Chinese shelf.

    Launch we run ourselves

    Packaging, claims and design are built in-house — then the rollout goes through channels we own and operate.
