Petland was founded in 1967 by Ed Krunzelman. Petland is privately owned and has gone from one store in Ohio to more than 230 locations in the U.S. and 63 other countries, including Japan, Canada, Mexico, China, El Salvador, and Brazil.

Petland is a full service pet retailer that does not sell animals from “puppy mills” or other breeders. The company uses rescue centers or local shelters as a source of pet adoptions. The company’s “Adopt a Pet” program, which began in 1988, also raises money for animal welfare organizations.

The company had annual revenue in 2013 of $6.9 billion. The company has offered franchising since 1971. Petland offers the usual pet food and pet supplies as well as grooming and boarding of dogs and cats at most locations.

History

PetLand Corporate Office

Petland was founded in Ohio by Ed Kunzelman in 1967. Today, the company has more than 250 stores in the U.S., Mexico, Japan, Canada, and South Africa. Petland has been valued at $50 million and has revenue in the U.S. , on average, of $3 million.

Petland is different from other pet stores as they state that they do not sell “puppy mill” dogs or cats. The company works together with local shelters and rescue centers for the adoption of dogs, cats, and other rescued animals. Under the “Adopt-A-Pet” program, which Petland initiated in 1998, the company says that hundreds of thousands of animals have been adopted into permanent, loving homes. All adopted animals are spayed or neutered and some locations offer micro-chipping as an extra safety measure.

While Petland claims to only sell pets from animal shelters, a report from the Humane Society stated that nearly every Petland store purchased puppies from puppy mills. 

A lawsuit in 2020 showed that a customer who purchased a dog on credit would have paid nearly $26,000 in interest and financing charges. 

The Humane Society accused Petland of using puppy mills in January 2023. 

Petland maintains a corporate office in Chillicothe, Ohio.
