Pet's Planet

Pet's Planet is an Italian franchise of personalized nutrition for dogs and cats. The franchisee doesn't act as a clerk behind a shelf but as a nutrition advisor: together with the customer you go through the animal's age, breed, weight, activity, and sensitivities, and build a tailored feeding plan from the brand's own product range. The consultation happens in a shop or on the move, right at the customer's home — which sets the concept apart from a classic pet store, where the owner picks by package and price.

From the Italian head office you get a license to the brand, initial training in dog and cat nutrition, a consultation methodology, the brand's own range of food and supplements, marketing materials, and ongoing support with follow-up training. What stays on you is the premises or the vehicle you'll work from, building a local base of customers, the consultations themselves, deliveries, and local promotion. The product and the expertise come 'turn-key', but the business itself you build from the first consultation on — yourself.
