CINCINNATI — Pet Wants, a leader in delivering fresh, nutrient-rich pet food, is celebrating a banner year of achievements in 2024. From record-breaking territory expansion to innovative product launches and franchisee milestones, the brand has solidified its position at the forefront of the pet health and wellness industry.
“This has been a year of tremendous growth and accomplishment for Pet Wants,” said Brand President DeNita Carani. “We’ve added 20 new territories, seen double-digit sales growth among our existing network and helped over 25 franchise owners transition from mobile businesses to retail stores. All of these advancements expand our reach and allow us to serve even more pet parents.”
One of the standout achievements of 2024 was the launch of Pet Wants’ private-label freeze-dried food line, which exceeded sales expectations. This innovative product, designed for versatility as a treat, topper, or complete meal, has become a customer favorite.
“We’ve been thrilled by the reception of our freeze-dried food,” Carani said. “It’s high in nutrition, easy to serve and store, and pets absolutely love it. The overwhelming demand has pushed us to increase our focus on this product line, which we see as a key driver of future growth.”
The brand also formed strategic partnerships with respected names in the pet industry, further elevating its reputation and product offerings. Meanwhile, Pet Wants continued to prioritize franchisee education, ensuring franchise owners can confidently guide their customers toward better pet nutrition and health.
As Pet Wants plans for the upcoming year, the brand is setting ambitious goals to build on its 2024 success. Key initiatives include expanding into new markets, particularly in regions nearing saturation, such as Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and Chicago.
“We’re eager to close out a few key markets as we continue adding new franchise owners in 2025,” said Carani. “We also plan to accelerate the move from mobile businesses to retail stores with grooming services. We anticipate around 30 stores will make this transition next year, further enhancing the customer experience and driving growth.”
Pet Wants’ unique model — delivering freshly made, nutrient-rich pet food directly to customers — has proven its value in a competitive market. Franchisees benefit from a scalable storefront model that begins with an event-based delivery business and evolves into retail locations featuring grooming centers, custom treats and high-end pet accessories.
“As we continue growing, our commitment to quality, innovation and franchisee success remains unwavering,” said Carani. “We look forward to welcoming new franchise partners who share our passion for pet health and want to join us on this rewarding journey.”
