How to Submit a Pet Product Idea

The world of pet products is filled with interesting knick-knacks and a host of accessories for you and your pet. If you are inspired with a related product idea, the next logical step would be to submit it to an appropriate company in hopes of eventually seeing it on your pet store's shelves. There are several ways to accomplish this goal, while maintaining your idea's integrity and independence.

      Respond to open calls hosted by major pet brands or stores. PetSmart, for example, has requested the public's ideas for future products. Agreements that result from these calls usually come with a contract or an agreed upon rate of income/commission.

      Enter contests with your idea. While these are contests are more difficult to find and held less often than open calls by major companies, they are still a viable option. Do not let entry fees defer you; the potential reward of a lasting product could be worth it.

      Locate a group, such as Lambert and Lambert, that is always looking for ideas. These organizations will usually have more experience with customer ideas and potentially better packages. Overall there may be a better system in place for your idea to be processed rather than an open call which could happen just once.
