Shipo provides pet product fulfillment for DTC brands — food, treats, supplements, and accessories — with lot tracking for consumables, bulky-item handling, and subscription reorder support. Pet brands often mix heavy bags, fragile items, and repeat subscriptions in the same catalog; Shipo manages storage, kitting, and recurring shipments while delivering to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic in 1–2 days from tax-free Delaware.

What pet brands need from a 3PL
Pet catalogs are unusually mixed: a single brand might ship heavy food bags, fragile supplement bottles, and light accessories, often on a subscription. Consumables carry lot numbers and expiration dates, and recurring orders have to go out on time every cycle. A pet fulfillment partner needs to handle weight and fragility side by side, track lots on consumables, and keep subscriptions running on schedule.
How Shipo handles pet product fulfillment
- Lot and expiration tracking (FEFO) for food, treats, and pet supplements.
- Bulky- and heavy-item handling for food bags and large accessories.
- Subscription reorder support synced from Shopify and Recharge for recurring shipments.
- Kitting and bundles for starter kits, multi-packs, and sample inserts.
- Multi-channel fulfillment across Shopify, Amazon, and Walmart.
Why an East Coast 3PL keeps pet brands fast and affordable
Heavy pet products are expensive to ship, so shipping zones matter more than in most categories. From Wilmington, Delaware, Shipo reaches the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic in 1–2 days by ground — fewer zones, lower carrier cost per order — and Delaware’s 0% sales tax applies to stored inventory and supplies.
