The people behind the boxes
Pawtrica was founded on a simple idea: independent pet retailers deserve a wholesale partner as reliable as the customers they serve.
From a single Austin warehouse to a national network
Pawtrica started in 2012 with a two-person team, one 10,000-square-foot warehouse in Austin, Texas, and a stubborn conviction that wholesale ordering didn't have to be slow, opaque, or impersonal.
Fourteen years later, we operate a 1.2 million square foot distribution center, stock more than 1,200 SKUs across food, treats, toys, and health products, and serve over 3,000 independent retailers and e-commerce brands in all 50 states.
What hasn't changed is how we treat every order — like it's headed to our own store shelves.
