In pet supplies, quality shows in use — and gets shared on social media.

Harnesses whose buckle gives way, bedding whose padding clumps in the wash, toys whose dye bleeds, fountains whose pump burns out: pet owners are attentive, vocal customers.

Our teams, as close to the factories as possible.

Our pet supplies category, led by a former buyer for a pet store chain, runs durability tests (leash and harness pull strength, chewing, washing), verifies material safety (dyes, phthalates, food-contact compliance for bowls) and the electrical safety of equipment. Manufacturing hubs: Ningbo and Wenzhou (accessories and textiles), Dongguan and Shenzhen (electronics: fountains, feeders, GPS), Zhongshan (aquariums), Shandong (chews).
