Candace D'Agnolo

My name is Candace D’Agnolo, Founder of Pet Boss Nation. I’ve been in the pet industry since 2004 having done retail, wholesale, grooming, daycare, boarding, and more. I’m now taking all I learned over the last 15 years to help independent retailers and brands see success faster than doing it alone. I understand the roller coaster of entrepreneurship, heck, I’ve been on that ride for almost two decades with Dogaholics (my consumer brand), but what’s different about me, is that I’ve turned obstacles into opportunities... from failing to scaling, broke to naming my price and selling businesses, and from chained to my store front to traveling the world. After only two years, Pet Boss Nation has become a community of thousands of pet retailers and boutiques, grooming salons, doggy daycare owners, dog trainers, manufacturers, distributors, sales reps, photographers, bloggers, walkers, sitters, healers... you name it and they are bound to be in our network of “Pet Bosses” - connecting, sharing and pushing themselves to do better. What’s made me a successful leader in the pet industry in such a short amount of time and why I get clients results, is that I get what you go through. I am like them. I care about them.
