Florists add wholesale pet products by stocking a small line of dog and cat items made in the shop's own name, logo and colors: bandanas, plush toys, bowls and cat toys that sit beside the cards, candles and gift add-ons. PrideBites makes these to order with a free mockup, minimums set per size and per design, and production of six to eight weeks before shipping.

This guide is for the owner, buyer or manager at a flower shop, floral studio or garden-and-gift boutique deciding whether a pet line fits the store.

Why would a florist carry pet products?

Flower shops already sell to people who are buying for someone they care about, and for many households that includes a dog or a cat. Roughly 95 million U.S. households own a pet (APPA), so a large share of any florist's customers go home to one.

A pet item also gives the shop something that fits a gift moment without competing with the flowers. A bandana or plush toy with the shop's name can ride along with an arrangement, sit by the register or be offered as a sympathy or new-home add-on, and it carries the shop's mark into the customer's home.

Where does a pet line fit in a flower shop?

• Counter add-ons. Small one-size items near the register that a customer can add to any order.
• Gift pairings. A plush toy or bandana tied to a holiday arrangement for a pet-owning recipient.
• Seasonal displays. Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and the holidays, when foot traffic is highest.
• Online orders. A light, shippable item that suits the shop's web store as an add-on at checkout.

For a similar small-retail case, see the gift shop guide and the garden center guide.

What sells in a florist's pet line?

• Bandanas. One size, easy to display and a simple canvas for a logo or a floral graphic.
• Plush toys. A dog toy in the shop's colors or a flower shape. The Original PrideBite is the award-winning flagship.
• Bowls. A useful gift that keeps the shop name in the kitchen.
• Cat toys. Plush catnip toys, so the line reaches cat households too.

Start narrow. Two one-size items near the register will tell you more than a full shelf, and they avoid the size question entirely.

How do minimums work for a florist?

The minimum order quantity is per size and per design, and sizes cannot be mixed to reach a minimum. One-size items such as bandanas and toys are the simplest place to start for that reason. Custom plush can go down to 250 units for a design, and quantity price breaks apply at thresholds that vary by product. The minimum order guide explains the rules in detail.

If the shop wants the line under its own label, private label is available.

What is the timeline?

Production is six to eight weeks and does not include shipping time. Custom plush can vary by complexity. Floral retail is built around fixed dates, so count back from the holiday you want to sell into, add transit, and add the design and approval step in front of that. The seasonal merchandise guide covers planning short runs.

The design step is free. A custom mockup typically comes back within about 48 hours with no cost and no commitment. Free samples are available through an account executive.

Safety and sourcing

All products are safe for dogs and cats and are Proposition 65 compliant after safety testing. Manufacturing is in China and India, and shipping is by UPS and DHL.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best first item for a florist?

A bandana or a plush toy. Both are one size, so the per-size minimum is simple, both display well near the register, and both carry a logo clearly enough to read as the shop's own product.

Can we use our own logo and colors?

Yes. Products are made to your colors, logo and artwork. The process starts with a free mockup, typically back within about 48 hours, so you can see the design on the product before anything is ordered.

Can we sell it online as well as in the shop?

Yes. A pet line is light, ships well and gives the online shop an add-on that customers cannot find elsewhere under the shop's name.

Do we need pet industry experience?

No. PrideBites handles design, production and fulfillment from brief to doorstep and has worked with more than 500 brand partners. The shop brings its brand and its customers.
