| I bought a distributorship from Pet Corner International in December 2010. They claimed to be audited and inspected by the National Science Foundation. The National Science Foundation has denied that they have any relationship with Pet Corner International. That claim was one of the main reasons I bought into this Company. Also,the product hasn't sold very much at all in 9 months. Pet Corner has abandoned me as a distributor, not contacting me anymore. They haven't done a thing to help me in this business as promised. I just want the public to be aware of them so people won't make the same mistake I did. |

| I purchaed a distributorship in Sept 2010. Product doesn't sell like they tell you. I've yet to see one advertisement on TV. The 2 distributors they gave me to contact (Norfolk Va. and Seattle Wa) told me the products sell immediately off the shelf. Vets and store owners tell me the product price is too high at $19.99. In one year 11 retail accounts I've sold less than 25 bottles. In this time frame not one representative from Pet Corner has called to ask how I was doing or if they can help. I'm faily well off so I can handle the loss. I understood the risk going in. What I don't get is if we as distributors can't sell the product Pet Corner International will never survive. They should have a vested interest in making sure we succeed but that just doesn't seem to be the case. I'm going to think about trying different approaches to sell the product. To those of you thinking about buying --BUYER BEWARE |

Perhaps you should try looking at another site and a message from M. Lucas. He is a very successful
distributor with Pet Corner International and goes into some details in terms of why he chose to become
a distributor. JK. |

Another suggestion for more information would be to check on the 'franchisereviewboard'.
They show a couple of testimonials regarding Pet Corner distributorships. |

This company is only interested in selling you the up front inventory, What they dont tell you that pet stores excluding pet food which they only make 30% as a loss leader. All other items they work on 50 to 60 % margin, They are not interested in a 30 % margins even on consignment. Petcorner will not allow you to have a website. When you ask them to talk to other distributers that are doing well they give you two with the same success story. I offered them to by back my 16, 000 dollar inventory for 50% off Never heard from either one of them, You can not get into the big box stores with this you would have to buy shelf space and give product for free, alot of product. The conveneince stores they tell you to solicite are not interested beacuse of the price piont 19.95 these stores normally carry items that are less then 10 dollars. I put my displays into high end car washes very few bottles sold. The owners tell you it is to exspensive. If you ask for other distributers besides the two they give you, there answer is they are to busy to talk on the phone. This company has no distributer meetings or any type of forum on line.
I looked at a dealer ship called 1 800 radiator these guys were super honest. They gave a list of at least 20 dealers in the new york area to talk to. I did just that. Some did well, some did ok. some said it was very competitive. They actually invited me to there shops. Granted they might get a referal or credit fee for product but who cares. The only reason I did not puchase is they only had dealerships open in undersible areas. Petcorner will not do that before you buy product. These guys are slick sales people. Stay away from them. |
