Letter from the Editor

Welcome to the Pet Product News International Pet Industry Directory and Buying Guide 2010 Annual. We are pleased to bring you the most comprehensive, up-to-date listings of pet-industry manufacturers, manufacturers’ representatives, distributors, breeders, organizations, products and services.

According to our 2009 State of the Industry Report, the dog category continued to dominate the market, and the bird, small mammal and herp categories grew slightly, signifying an increase in interest among the pet-owning population. For more discussion of the results from the survey, see our summary beginning on page 5.

Also in this issue we offer Pet Retailer Essentials, featuring product spotlights for Dog and Cat Edibles, Collars and Leashes, Spa products, Holistic products, Avian products, Small-Mammal products, and Cleaning and Odor-control products.

Click here for additional categories exclusively online. These categories include Aquatic products, Beds and Housing, Cat and Dog Treats, Fish Food, Flea and Tick products, Grooming products, Herp products, I.D. products, Puppy products, Supplements, Toys and more.

Additional features include the industry’s top organizations, which are profiled on pages 9-10.

We hope retailers will use this directory and buying guide to find the information they need to help their businesses grow. We encourage you to send us feedback on how to make this directory even better for your businesses. E-mail us at scollins@bowtieinc.com.
