SARASOTA, FL – Encompass Pet Group is transforming its Choice Pet Products division from a regional distribution company serving independent pet retailers into a logistics arm for its consumer-focused businesses.

Choice Pet Products will continue to serve independent retailers until the end of October 2023.

“This transformation will allow us to focus our energy, our capital and our logistics expertise across our core consumer pet products, new products, and recent acquisitions to accelerate our growth,” said Encompass CEO Troy Shay.

Rob Emery, founder of Encompass, added, “It has been a privilege to serve independent retailers over the last several years and we support their mission to help pet parents raise healthy pets. We will continue to be independent retailers ourselves via our DOGPerfect stores within greater Sarasota.”

Encompass is known for its Snuggle Puppy calming toys and DOGPerfect retail stores.
