Rover Gear Enters Exclusive Nationwide Distribution Agreement with Pet Palette Distribution
Pet Palette Distribution, a Maryland-based national distributor of premium pet products, has recently teamed up with Rover, the world’s largest online marketplace for loving pet care, to carry Rover’s full line of branded merchandise from the Rover Gear Walking Collection. Products are expected to be available for purchase through the Pet Palette Distribution website this summer.
“We are thrilled to partner with Pet Palette Distribution to offer our collection of dependable walking gear to the independent pet retail community,” said Lara Bain, head of merchandising and product development at Rover. “Their commitment to providing quality pet products to their customers aligns with our mission to make it easier for everyone to have the unconditional love of a pet in their life. Rover Gear is one element that delivers on our mission with thoughtfully designed walking gear that prioritizes safety, comfort and ease of use for pets and their people.”
Rover was founded in 2011 with the goal of connecting pet parents with loving pet care providers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. More than 4 million pet parents have booked pet care through the Rover app, bringing the brand trust they’ve established with pet parents to the commerce sector. The Rover Gear Walking Collection consists of the Better Walk™ No-Pull Harness, the Bag Buddy Hands-Free Poo Carrier and the Essential Dog Walking Leash which is also available in a Slim version for smaller dogs. Each product was thoughtfully designed through multiple prototypes, testing for fit and durability and with input from industry experts and dog walkers in the Rover community.
“We were very impressed by the amount of rigorous testing Rover has done to create dependable designs that ensure comfort for pets and their parents alike,” said Megan Hulse, Pet Palette Distribution Chief Merchandising Officer. “Thoughtful details like the instructional fit tags and built-in poo bag carrier add more ease of use and really sets Rover Gear apart from your traditional leashes and harnesses.”
