APRIL 2026 WEBINAR
The Trust Advantage:
How to Turn Relationships Into Revenue
The pet industry runs on trust.
It's time to build revenue around it.
Thursday, April 16 at 1:00 PM Eastern
Live virtual session • Free for all attendees
Every trainer, walker, and sitter recommended a product to a client this week. Every creator influenced a purchase. Every brand tried to reach a pet parent who was already getting recommendations from someone they trust far more than any ad.
Nobody in this ecosystem is getting full credit for the value they're creating, and that's the gap this conversation is about.
In this free live session, Michelle Huie, founder of ShopDot Pet, will unpack what's really happening in pet commerce right now: why the channels brands have relied on are getting weaker, why the trust that pet professionals and creators have built is more valuable than ever, and what it actually looks like when that trust finally has a way to convert into revenue and meaningful partnerships.
Whether you're a pet professional looking to grow beyond your core service, a brand navigating a more complex distribution landscape, or a creator trying to build a more sustainable income model, this conversation is for you.
