SAN FRANCISCO — Pet Supplies Plus announced on February 27 that it has partnered with DoorDash to provide same-day pet product delivery to its customers at 720 stores nationwide. The neighborhood pet retail franchise offers a wide range of nutritional products, toys and accessories for dogs, cats and other household pets, all now available for on-demand delivery at through DoorDash.
“Innovation continues to be a top priority for our brand as we assess how we can further meet the needs of our neighbors,” said Chris Rowland, chief executive officer of Pet Supplies Plus. “This new partnership with DoorDash provides another option for our neighbors to get what they need to give their pets a happy and healthy life. We pride ourselves on being a one-stop-shop for pet parents, and now we can reach even more people as our brand grows.”
While Pet Supplies Plus remains focused on its brick-and-mortar pet retail presence, the partnership with the last-mile delivery service will leverage its omnichannel strategy and complement its expanding in-person shopping network. The franchise, which also owns and operates Wag N’ Wash stores across North America, expects record growth by 2024.
The partnership also benefits DoorDash’s growing pet product delivery vertical, which includes several other pet-focused retailers including Petco, Independent Pet Partners, PetSmart and others.
“Since launching the Pets vertical in 2020, DoorDash has more than 400,000 pet products available for on-demand delivery,” said Fuad Hannon, vice president of new verticals at DoorDash. “We’re excited to further expand our selection with the addition of Pet Supplies Plus to the Marketplace. Shoppers can now access all of their pets’ daily needs — from food supplies and repairs to toys and accessories — all in less than an hour [based on average delivery times]on DoorDash.”
