Why does PIN exist?

We came together to help pet business owners solve a problem that so many had experienced: who could they trust with their business needs that understood pets, pet parents, and the pet industry?

It began with an idea - how do we bring together vetted experts whose values, reputation, and expertise aligned?

The Pet Industry Network® was founded in 2022 by Jolanta Smulski and Matt Aldrich to provide a powerhouse of pet industry solutions.
