The lonely road of “figuring it out” in your pet business ends here

Pet Boss, we see you. 

We see the weight of responsibility on your shoulders. We know the thoughts keeping you up at night, like– “Am I even going to make payroll this month?” 

We understand the frustration of watching big-box competitors sweep in with their massive marketing budgets while you’re scraping money together to run a local ad.

We know that pit in your stomach when you look at your numbers, unsure if you’re even reading them right. And not only that… why do they seem too low and not budging when you’re working SO hard?

We see the overwhelm that comes with the revolving door of employees. You’re trying to build and manage a reliable team when you feel like you can barely keep your own head above water. 

And the imposter syndrome… it creeps in every time you try to market yourself, making you question if you’re cut out for this. 

First and foremost, please know… you are not alone! 

Every single pet business owner we have worked with has stood where you are standing now. Even Candace, the CEO and founder of Pet Boss Nation, has stood where you are now. 

You’re piecing together advice from well-meaning friends who don’t truly understand what you’re going through, random blog posts, generic business books… just applying one-size-fits-all strategies to an industry that is anything but standard. You didn’t pour your heart and soul into your pet business to feel like you’re barely scraping by. You deserve MORE. 

Now, imagine this instead…

This list above? No, it isn’t a pipe dream, Pet Boss.

The need for business education PLUS community in the pet industry is ANSWERED

But where do they go for their business knowledge?

  • A rabbit-hole of a Google search?

    A rabbit-hole of a Google search?

    You’ll find yourself more scatter-brained than a freshman during finals week.

  •  A traditional business degree program? That’s admirable (and expensive)!

    A traditional business degree program? That’s admirable (and expensive)!

    1. What pet business owner has the TIME?
    2. There’s no focus on the nuances of the pet industry!

No, the correct answer is:

Pet Boss Nation University™– where you’ll find every resource you need to get your MPBA (Master of Pet Boss Administration, NOT an official degree, but we consider it better!) minus the stuffy lectures, outdated textbooks, and all-nighters cramming for exams!

She’s like the DEAN of Pet Business Success

A note from your pet business strategy teacher– Candace D’Agnolo

Dear Pet Boss,

As the CEO and founder of Pet Boss Nation, I’ve seen it all — from the doggy daycare owner struggling to manage cash flow, to the pet treat baker unsure how to scale their business and so, so, so much more. 

After years of running my own successful pet businesses, followed by years of helping others do the same, I realized something was missing in the world of pet business education.

That’s why I’ve evolved our programs and crafted a curriculum that addresses real-world pet business challenges. 

Yes, you DO need community, but you also need EDUCATION. Traditional business courses don’t incorporate the unique challenges of the pet industry, and pet-specific training programs often lack the foundational business teachings needed for true success.

That’s why Pet Boss Nation University™ was born – a place where passionate pet business owners can get the exact education they need, minus the fluff and filler of traditional business programs. 

I’m giving you everything you need to become a Pet Boss Scholar, so you can ace every test that being a pet business owner throws your way! 

So if you’re here to learn, implement, and feel like you’re getting your MBA in running a pet business, you’re in the right place.

Addicted to your success, 

What does a Pet Boss Scholar look like?

Inside Pet Boss Nation University™, you’ll find organized, proven teaching resources that have already shown their worth in the real world. They’ve changed the trajectory of these business owners in the pet industry who are implementing everything they’ve learned and seeing major success.

(P.S. We think you’d rock the PBU letters on a school sweatshirt, just sayin’!)

“I run a pet sitting and dog walking business, and I just raised my rates a lot after watching the video about pricing for profit. I have had almost no pushback. I am so excited about the $1 – $1.5k per week increase that is about to start flowing in. Thanks, Pet Boss!”

-Stephanie Sorensen, Zen Dog, Peachtree Corners, GA

“I have been implementing the items I have learned in this group to help grow our business. We are part of a franchise and took home awards for exponential growth in each category of business. We grew over 25% last year! Which was over $200k in growth! Thank you, Pet Boss!”

-Jen Skomski, Central Bark, Broadview Heights, OH

“I’ve implemented many of the Pet Boss University tools – especially financially. My sales for the 1st quarter this year vs last year are up 57%! I’m able to manage the cash flow much better! Last month I finally showed a profit! I am a proud member of Pet Boss University and  excited for the opportunity to share my growth with my community as a result of working with you!”

-Pamela Presley, Powell Pet Food Supply
