I need a list of 100 publicly traded companies that sell to the pet
market, preferably dogs.  These can be retail, mail order, or internet
based companies.

I also need their contact info for CEOs and CFOs, whenever available.

Please put into a text file, no commas.

Thanks.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 02 May 2006 14:41 PDT

Hello again funweb1-ga,

I see you've reformulated your question but it's still difficult to
figure out how to get you the information you need. Part of the
problem is that there is an incredible amount of information about the
pet market and it's hard to focus on your interests. Here is a link
that will give you some insights on how the market is defines by the
big market research firms.

http://www.marketresearch.com/browse.asp?categoryid=124
Pet Services & Supplies Market Research Reports: Pet Care Products
Market Trends in the Pet Food Industry
152 reports available 

Coming up with a list of 100 companies that sell pet products is
easily doable if you don't care about the size of the company. Finding
out which ones are publicly traded will be more difficult and time
consuming.

The comment from frankcorrao-ga is correct in recognizing that many
pet care companies are subsidiaries of much larger companies. For
instance, Del Monte owns Kibbles 'n Bits dog food. In this example, do
you want information about the dog food company or Del Monte, the
parent company? I hope you can clear up the confusion on exactly which
types of companies you're looking for.

Your request for information about the contact info for CEOs andCFOs
adds another layer of difficulty to answering your question. Looking
up this kind of information is very time consuming. You've priced your
question at $75. Researchers get 75% of the price so this question is
worth $56.25 to the researcher. That's in the neighborhood of fifty
cents per company.

As you can see, I'd love to work on your question but I don't know how
to proceed. I look forward to your clarification.

funweb1-ga,

In addition to the comments above and below, I just wanted to add my
observation that there don't seem to be very many publicly-traded
companies that specialize in this area.  Many companies -- IAMS, for
instance -- are private.

I think a list of 100 publicly-traded companies may be out of reach.

Let us know your thoughts on all this.

OK, let's forget about digging for publicly traded companies - that
would be rather tedious - let's try 500 companies that sell pet
products on a national, or international level.  We are looking for
large companies as opposed to a neighborhood pet shop.

Companies like Fosters and Grant, Companies like Purina, Iams, Hartz, and so forth.

Does that help at all?

Thanks.

Hello funweb1-ga,

As you requested in your last clarification, below I?ve provided 500+
companies that sell pet products on a national and international
level. Along the lines of your original request, I?ve also included a
selection of Internet-based companies as well. I trust that this list
will meet your needs.

All the best.

Thanks!

I think you will find that many big companies that sell pet market are
subsidiaries of large conglomerates. For instance, Alpo is owned by
Nestle.  Another problem is that is looks like the equity sector
classification, GICS, does not distinguish between companies that sell
pet food from any other kind of food, and this probablye extends to
other pet products outside of food.  If you give more information
about your goals, perhaps someone can help in a different way.
