Let Us Create Your Pet Information Center

Hot-selling products merchandised to provide your customers with a one-stop-shop for all their pet information needs is what Global Distribution Services offers its partnering retailers. When you sign on with Global Distribution Services, you receive more than just product. You have a choice of dynamic pet and animal magazines, books, videos, and more—specifically targeted at your market—that complement your existing inventory.

Our Service Representatives do more than just rotate product and take inventory. They understand that your customers have chosen a particular lifestyle by owning a pet. With this expertise, our Service Representatives develop solid relationships with store personnel and management, learn the culture and environment of each store, and tailor product programs to motivate your customers to purchase inventory.
