A PPC agency for pet brands that buys auto-ship customers, not single-bag ROAS.

You get a PPC agency for pet brands run by senior paid media buyers who have managed dozens of pet DTC accounts across Meta, TikTok, Amazon, Chewy, and Google Shopping. Every campaign is tied to auto-ship LTV math, with separate attribution for new-customer first-bag orders versus returning-customer revenue. Built around the unit economics that make pet acquisition profitable past the first order through replenishment subscription, not single-bag ROAS theatrics.

What is included in every PPC engagement

Pet PPC built for pet brand economics,
not generic Meta playbooks.

Pet PPC has structural differences from other DTC verticals: AOV is moderate ($40-$120 typical), auto-ship LTV multiples are extraordinary (5-10x), and discovery is heavily emotional and creator-driven. The PPC playbook is tuned for that operational reality.

Meta and TikTok (primary)

Meta is the highest-ROAS paid channel for most pet brands. Pet creative converts at extraordinary engagement rates because pet content is universally watchable. We run 3-5 fresh Reels per hero SKU per month featuring real pets, with creator-seeded UGC as primary format.

Amazon and Chewy coordination

Amazon and Chewy together are typically the largest revenue source for established pet brands. We coordinate with partner agencies on Amazon Sponsored Products / DSP and Chewy Sponsored Products, with integrated reporting separating each channel.

TikTok Shop where applicable

TikTok Shop works particularly well for treats, toys, and accessories under $50. Native-checkout conversion meaningfully higher than out-bound clicks.

Google Shopping & brand defense

Performance Max for product feed, brand-search defense, comparison-query capture.

Creator-UGC creative pipeline

Pet creator UGC dominant for the category. Partner studios produce 6-12 creator clips/month featuring real pets, with model releases and usage rights.

Auto-ship-adjusted ROAS

New-customer first-bag ROAS reported separately from returning-customer auto-ship revenue. The two numbers diverge meaningfully in pet because auto-ship LTV dwarfs first-bag value.

Common questions

Questions every pet founder asks before running paid.

Management $399-$2,500/month. Ad spend paid directly, never marked up. Most $1M-$5M brands land at $5k-$15k ads with $799 Growth tier.
Yes, coordinated through partner agency on Scale and above. Chewy is often the largest channel for established pet brands. Integrated brief means DTC and Chewy strategies stay aligned.
Coordinated through partner Amazon agency. Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Amazon DSP, A+ content.
Recharge subscription data flows into reporting layer. First-bag ROAS reported alongside projected auto-ship LTV (based on cohort retention curves from your account). The two numbers diverge sharply in pet; the LTV-projected one matters for budget allocation decisions.
Creator-pet UGC dominant. Partner studios produce 6-12 clips/month featuring real pets with model releases and usage rights. Brief integrated with paid roadmap.
First paid-attributed order inside 3 days. ROAS stabilizes by day 21-30. Auto-ship conversion rate stabilizes by day 60.
Yes, coordinated through partner agency. Pet influencers (dog and cat creators on TikTok and Instagram) are meaningful for the category.
Partially. PMax works as brand defense and complementary Shopping. Not as primary channel because it bundles placements into a black box.
Yes. First 7 days are an audit.
Four things. Pet PPC built on actual pet-parent behavior and auto-ship LTV math. Senior media buyer running the account. Creator-pet UGC pipeline producing 6-12 clips/month. Flat fees with full ownership and auto-ship-adjusted ROAS reporting. With 45-plus pet brands behind the playbook.

Pet Shop · Multi-business superstore · Surrey, UK

Migrated a 10,000-product Surrey pet superstore off Drupal — real-time EPOS sync, click & collect, and loyalty live at launch.

A multi-business Surrey group whose primary revenue came from a pet superstore needed a rebuild — the old Drupal site was hard to manage, sub-optimal for SEO, and disconnected from the in-store EPOS. We rebuilt on nopCommerce with full API integration to Premier EPOS, ParcelForce + SagePay live, and a split-cart click-and-collect flow.

5× traffic in 4 months for a Singapore pet shop hit by a Google Core Update — on a $500/mo budget.

We executed a focused on-page + off-page recovery on the existing platform (no risky migration) and 5× the traffic from 480 to 2,400 monthly visitors in four months.
