So what makes Pet Planet different?
Family – It’s where our story begins…
Pet Planet began with a mother and daughter team who suffered the heartbreaking loss
of a young dog to cancer. As they looked for support and answers they discovered that
the pet industry, at that time, did not advocate for the pets they served. It was difficult
to find accurate information relating to the impacts of proper nutrition, holistic and
complementary therapies and ultimately how to support longer and healthier lives. A
need for a true advocate became clear, and Pet Planet was born.
A journey towards change…
Our first store opened in Calgary, Alberta, in 1996, and nineteen years later we are 54
stores strong reaching from coast to coast in Canada, and now growing in the Phoenix
valley. As we grew, and became more deeply dedicated to changing the lives of the pets we
love, the Guardianship movement was born. The concept of Guardianship revolves around
the idea that how we think, predicts how we will act.
Using the word “Guardian” in place of “owner” when referring to our animal companions
is more than just an exercise in semantics, the shift in dialogue promotes a more
compassionate relationship between person and animal. It elicits a sense of respect and
love, and illustrates the undeniable perspective of our responsibilities to provide them a
long and healthy life full of love and engagement.
We take your trust seriously…
Pet Planet prides itself on the relationships we build. All of our partners are chosen
with care – because we believe in the products and services that they offer. Our team
of franchisees and employees is among the best in the industry and are always here to
support you through each step of your Guardianship journey. We take your trust seriously
and we will work hard each and every day to both earn and keep that trust.

We can help you find the right solution
After nineteen years in the pet specialty industry we have built a wealth of knowledge and
experience relating to what our pets need to help them live longer, healthier lives. More
importantly, we have been through almost every bump there is in the Guardianship journey
– from puppyhood to losing your loving senior - we have lived each moment with you.
Each Guardianship journey has taught us the same thing – we have the ability to help and to
make a difference.
Whether your “bump” is related to a specific health-related issue like allergies, joint health
or weight management; if you are looking for ways to entertain your power chewer; or if
you have concerns about your aging senior, we can direct you to products that will help
you to manage, treat or solve the problems you are facing. Whatever the problem, our goal
is to help you to find a solution.
So what makes Pet Planet different?
Relationships based on respect, dedication, trust and the unified commitment to help.
That’s what makes us different.

A little about the journey
Dreaming BIG
Nineteen years ago, the founders of our company recognized a need in an industry that
was in its early stages of evolution. A need that would ultimately help pets live longer and
healthier lives. They set their sights, took a deep breath, and dove in, opening their first
store in Calgary, Alberta in 1996.
Every detail was perfectly planned and executed with the utmost precision, and as the very
first customer walked to the counter to make the very first purchase, it hit them. They had
mitigated every single detail...except how to actually operate the till!! Bumps will happen
when you open our own business, challenges will present themselves, but it’s how you
overcome them that will ultimately determine your successes.
Today, our founders both know how to operate a till, and even more importantly, a
successful, multi-million dollar company, that through the dedication of our corporate and
franchise teams has grown to over 50 stores across Canada and in the USA. We continue
to evolve and grow as a retailer and look forward to continuing to impact this industry
with integrity and the sense of adventure that started it all.
Creating Change – The Guardianship Movement
• Necessity is the mother of invention and the Guardianship Movement is a great
example of seeing a need and creating change to make things better.
• Guardianship, by its definition, reflects a shift in our way of thinking. This shift in
thought allows our behaviours and actions to follow. By changing the way we relate
with our animal companions we can ultimately affect the way we communicate to the
people around us, becoming examples to others, and most importantly, for the next
generation of Guardians.
• By teaching and educating others about Guardianship, we instill values that people can take
pride in, making them far less likely to abuse, abandon or neglect their animal companions.
• By shifting our views from “ownership” to “Guardianship” we can begin to remove
the stigma that domestic animals are something we can buy or trade for and instead,
nurture the emotional value of animals. Our companions become members of our
family rather than possessions which will directly affect global awareness on the do’s
and don’ts of pet acquisition, promoting the value of adoption over purchase.
15
16
• Pet Planet created a Guardian Promise that consists of 12 points:
▶ Call myself and others a “Guardian” rather than an “Owner”
▶ Encourage others to embrace Guardianship
▶ Only adopt through responsible rescues and ethical breeders
▶ Make a lifetime commitment to my animal companion
▶ Provide nutritious and healthy food options, fresh water and daily exercise
▶ Care for the emotional needs of my pet
▶ Understand and work through my pet’s behavioural issues
▶ Treat my pet gently and with compassion
▶ Spay or neuter my pet for their health and to prevent overpopulation
▶ Eliminate the use of toxic household cleaners and chemicals in and around my home
▶ Report suspected animal abuse or neglect
▶ Love my pet unconditionally
Responsible Guardianship lead to
our philosophies on Responsible Pet Acquisition:
• Asking WHY is the first step. When Guardians consider bringing a pet into their
family, we educate and encourage them to first think about “Why” they want a pet.
Is it for protection, companionship or because they just can’t say NO to a big pair of
warm, brown eyes.
• Then we ask them to think about the impacts a pet will bring to their family life. From
considerations around allergies to ensuring that every member of the family is ready
to welcome and be responsible for a new pet.
• We then encourage families to think about time, lifestyle and associated costs related
to becoming a Guardian, as all of these things will be directly affected as well.
• Once a family makes the decision to become Guardians, we then encourage them to
think about where they will find their forever friend (through responsible rescues or
breeders) and more importantly where NOT to look.
• We help identify the differences between bringing home a puppy or kitten versus an
older animal.
• Lastly we help advise families on how to integrate a new pet into their home, how to
properly care for and feed their new pet, how to deal with any behavioural issues.

We take your trust seriously
Do you buy your pet food
from stores that care about pet nutrition?
We get it. You can find pet food that claims to be “healthy” almost anywhere – from your
local hardware store to where you buy laundry soap – everyone seems to have pet food
and supplies for sale. Then couple this convenience with what looks like “great food for a
great price” and it makes perfect sense to simply save a step in your busy day by bundling
your needs into a “one-stop shop”.
But you wouldn’t buy your steak at a hardware
store, so why buy your pet food from the same
place that sells light fixtures?
But first, has anyone ever
explained the difference in pet foods to you?
Living a longer life starts with what our pets eat. Generally speaking, most grocery food
brands are lacking in the nutritional ingredients necessary to support your pet’s health.
They often contain by-products, growth hormones, meat-treated with antibiotics as well
as artificial colors, flavours and preservatives. Packaging and labels can mislead you by
showing you what they know you want to see, fresh ingredients like meat and fruits and
vegetables on the bag and listed in the ingredient panel that “proves” as much, but don’t be
fooled. Some pet manufacturers have become quite savvy at manipulating their ingredient
panels to disguise the true contents of their food.
Here are some things to think about when making decisions about your pet’s diet:
a. There IS a difference in quality and nutrition from one food to another
b. Ingredient panels and crude analysis doesn’t tell the entire story
c. W here the food is manufactured, where the ingredient inputs are sourced from,
and who manufactures the food is critical to food quality and trust
d. Does the brand you purchase actually make the food themselves or do they outsource?
Our passion for good nutrition is not meant to be a scare tactic. We just want our
consumers to know that there are safe, trusted and healthy options out there.
SO, go one step further and let’s take nutrition and convenience out of the conversation
for a minute and let’s focus on price.
18
19
We agree! You CAN find pet food
for lower “ticketed” prices in your grocery store.
But have you ever wondered if you are actually saving money? We wanted to know that
answer as well, so we did a quick study - food brands we carry in our stores against some of
the leading grocery brands on the market today. Here is what we found:
• The grocery brand was cheaper at the till but proved more expensive to feed over time
• WHY? It relates back to our talk on nutrition, those inferior ingredients contain fewer
calories which means that your pet needs more food to sustain them
• This means that you end up having to make more trips to the “hardware” store to buy
more bags of food – which by the way also translates into more trips outside to clean up
“life’s little messes” – but that’s another conversation
So, let’s sum this up – a visit to Pet Planet accomplishes a couple of things:
• You will find high-quality, nutrient dense, trusted foods that will actually save you
money, and as an added benefit, will help your pet live a longer and healthier life.
• You know that you will find Ambassadors that are educated in nutrition to help guide
you in your decision making around all of the products you will need to support your
pet. We will even offer free samples of foods we trust, to help you and your pet find the
right options.
• You will be able to learn about and compare many feeding options including kibble,
canned, raw, freeze-dried and dehydrated food options for your pet.
• Remember that convenience factor mentioned earlier? Pet Planet will support you in all
of your pet needs: food, treats, toys, supplements and all the supportive products you’ll
need like crates, collars, leashes and training supplies – so why shop anywhere else?
• Finally you now know that Pet Planet offers both quality AND value…
that you can trust.
20
Trusting us means you can trust
our partners, and their products
We don’t put anything on our shelves that we would not use with our own pets, so with
that promise in mind, we instituted our product selection criteria to help us make the best
decisions for all of our pets.
Manufacturing Criteria
a. We do not source food products from China
b. We prefer products that are self- manufactured
c. We look for accountability for where ingredients are sourced:
▶ Locally sourced – within 100 km of manufacturer?
▶ Sourced from North America or from other countries?
▶ From the human or animal food chain?
d. W
hat are manufacturing processes, i.e. how the food is prepared/cooked to maintain
nutritional integrity of the ingredients
Nutritional Criteria
a. What are the main protein and carbohydrate sources?
b. Is the food grain-free or grain-based, and if so, what are the grain sources?
c. What are the fat sources – good fats like salmon or flax seed oil vs. lard or animal fat?
d. W
hat preservatives, additives and artificial colorings are added, if any?
Natural or chemical?
e. W hat flavouring agents or sweeteners were used to manipulate taste –
natural or artificial?
It is always easy to make criteria lists and retail
promises, but in our case we take this very
seriously… and we can prove it.

Example #1: Did you know that Rawhide DOES BAD STUFF?
What is Rawhide?
• R awhide is the tough inner layer of bull, cow, water buffalo and horsehides – a byproduct of the meat industry offered as a chewing option for dogs.
• The manufacturing process involves the use of many dangerous chemicals including
Ash-Lye or Lime, to remove animal fur/hair. Then to remove all traces of the lime
solution and to sanitize the rawhide product, commercial makers then rinse the hides
in a bleach solution
• Additionally, arsenic, ethoxyquin, formaldehyde and other chemicals such as BHA
and BHT are commonly used as preservatives. Other dangerous additives can include
antibiotics, lead and insecticides
After reading that you may not
need to ask, but why is Rawhide dangerous?
• Through the chewing process, as the rawhide rehydrates, all of the additives and
chemicals used in the manufacturing process will be ingested by your pet which can
make them seriously ill
• Additionally, in the rehydration process, rawhide can swell up to four times its original
size in your dog’s stomach, risking the formation of life threatening blockages which
can cause acute pancreatitis. The result can vary from mild gastrointestinal upset to
collapse and death
• Finally, dogs can and will chew off and swallow large pieces of rawhide which can get
stuck in their esophagus, stomach or intestines. This often requires surgical removal
which carries its own set of risks to your pet
Measured against our Product Selection
Criteria Rawhide FAILS. So not only
will you NOT find it in our stores, we tell
everyone we meet why. In fact, we often
get very passionate about it!
As a result we source many safe and
trusted alternatives to Rawhide for our
Guardians to choose from, like beef chews which have no preservatives, are fat free, do
not splinter like some bones may, are nutritional and digestible. We also offer real smoked
or raw bones, bully sticks and dental chews that not only provide a safe alternative to
rawhide, but have the added benefit of supporting dental health as well.
25
Example #2: Cat Litter – Are they all created equal?
One of the biggest dangers to a cat’s – and the rest of your family’s – health can be found
in the litter box. Low-Quality Litters can contain Sodium Bentonite:
• Sodium bentonite is naturally swelling clay added as a clumping agent to litter
• Clumping litters containing sodium bentonite is related to a wide range of cat health
problems including diarrhea, vomiting, kidney problems, respiratory problems,
lethargy and more
• W hen dry the litter creates a fine dust that when ingested can lead to many
respiratory issues.
• W hen wet, sodium bentonite swells to approximately 15 times its original volume,
acting as expandable cement would which can very successfully clog household
plumbing – so now imagine that dust inside your cat blocking his/her lungs and
digestive systems.
In light of what our product selection criteria told us, we work to provide safe and trusted
options that Guardians can choose as alternatives.

We can help you
find the right solution
Since 1996, our mandate has remained steadfast - educate families with what we know
and support them during every step of their Guardianship journey. As the industry
has evolved and matured, it became even more evident that our continued point of
differentiation is our desire, and more importantly, our ability to help. We help families
find solutions to questions and problems – the ones they identify, and even ones they
don’t know they have.
Examples of more common issues include:
• Allergies/Sensitivities – a common concern relating to the health of our pets
• Bad Breath/Dental Concerns – A high percentage of health problems and ultimate
disease in dogs and cats start from bacterial build-up in the mouth.
• Weight/Obesity Risks – recent statistics state that more than half our dogs and
cats suffer from obesity, leading to risks like joint problems and more serious weightrelated disorders.
• How to care for different life stages or specific breeds – most Guardians may not
know that puppies, kittens, adults and seniors all required slightly different solutions,
from the food you choose for them to their treats, supplements and toys.
Pet Planet’s solutions programs allow us the ability to directly answer and assist with these
issues and concerns:
• Allergy Solutions – a common but often misdiagnosed issue (Is it a true allergy, or a
sensitivity that can be mitigated with proper nutrition and supplementation?)
a. Most allergies and intolerances are caused by improper balance of nutrients caused
from nutritionally-void pet food. We can direct Guardians to food, supplements
such as Omega 3 oil, and functional treat options that are more nutritionally sound,
that will improve or eradicate the problem.
b. Don’t forget your environment! Almost 90% of allergy symptoms are not food
related, so we can educate on natural cleaners and other environmental culprits that
will help to mitigate environmental allergies around the home.
•D
ental Health – On a daily basis, simple brushing or using an effective oral care spray can
make all the difference. Products like Petzlife, Raw Bones, natural dental chews and a simple
and cost-effective pet toothbrush and toothpaste are all solutions we can offer Guardians.
28
• Weight/Obesity – There are significant risks to any pet carrying extra pounds. Aside
from over-feeding, many weight issues are a result of high-carbohydrate, low-quality
foods wherein cheap carbs pack on the pounds versus a diet rich in real meat and veggies.
Selecting a healthy and nutritionally-sound food will help manage a weight issue.
• Solutions for life stages & breed – providing solutions to specific breeds or stages is
instrumental in supporting a longer, healthier life.
a. Senior pet food - seniors still need meaningful levels of highly digestible, quality
meat in their diet. Historically, people believed that as a dog aged, they required
less protein. While they may require less fat, maintaining good levels of real meat
protein is important to maintain muscle mass and overall health
b. Toys for puppies & kittens – smaller mouths, softer teeth and developing joints and
muscles require special attention
c. Products for the small guys – they have different needs and wants, from smaller
kibble to size-appropriate toys, it is important to meet the needs of our tiniest
customers
d. Power chewers – Satisfying your dog’s need to chew helps with destructive
behaviours, increases mental stimulation and has the added benefit of protecting
your shoes from harm
Perhaps our favorite part of living a commitment to solutions-based
support for our Guardians is our ability to educate on the importance
of supplementation for preventative, maintenance and support of
many issues affecting our pets today. Here are some quick facts:
• Supplementation is a widely accepted and common practice for people; although most
people don’t know that the same benefits we derive from this are also true for our pets
• A good premium pet food provides a solid nutritional foundation for your pet, but food
alone cannot always provide the nutrients necessary to enhance their immune system.
• A pet’s immune system is complex and can be incredibly fragile. Many holistic
practitioners and disease researchers theorize that a healthy body actually contracts
illnesses many times over the course of a lifetime, but a strong immune system
eliminates the symptoms before they do harm. Supplementing your pet’s diet honors
this natural resistance by providing the immune system with the tools and fuel it needs
to perform at its best
• Nourishing your pet’s bodies with wholesome, targeted supplements in tandem with a
nutritionally balanced food is the most powerful medicine you can provide for a longer,
healthier life

Franchising with Pet Planet
We know the world is a competitive place. There are hundreds, maybe even thousands
of entrepreneurial opportunities in the marketplace today all claiming to offer you wealth
and success. Couple some great phrases like, “Get rich quick”, “Work from home and
earn a great living” or “No-Risk Opportunity” with eye-catching, professional marketing
filled with happy successful people, and almost any empty promise can look like the
perfect opportunity.
At Pet Planet, we are not going to wow you with pretty marketing (although we think ours
is awesome) and catch-phrase promises, we are simply going to keep it real. You will have
to work hard, there will be good days and bad days, this decision will change your life –
but by becoming a part of the Pet Planet team you can trust that you will have the tools to
successfully achieve any goal you set for yourself and that we will be here to celebrate with
you along the way.
“Being a part of Pet Planet has allowed us to help not only our own
family pack, but to enrich the lives of many in our community.”
– Courtney & Will, Franchisees at Cranston Market

for yourself and your family. Where do you see yourself in 5, 10, 25 years? What is your
dream? If owning your own business fits your dream then we suggest you consider two
things. One, are you comfortable with the risks involved with owning your own business?
And secondly, can you afford the costs involved in a franchise purchase? Once you decide
that you are ready, we are ready and waiting!

– Crystal, Franchisee of Riverbend Square
Cold feet welcomed
We are not in this to “sell” you a franchise. This may be the number one differentiator
between us and other franchisors today. We are looking to partner with you to achieve
great success. Through our qualification process and discussions with you, we are going
to help to determine if owning a franchise is the right choice for you and your family.
We hope it is, but if at ANY point in the qualification process you decide that we are
not the right fit we will completely understand…and we will be here if you ever change
your mind. Cold feet are okay! This is a BIG decision, but we’re tough – we won’t take a
decision to change your mind personally!
You’ve made your decision to start the conversation – now the fun really begins!
