We rebuilt their Shopify store to sell the way their showroom does — with finished spaces, a way to start a custom piece online, and a reason to visit in person.

Carryup designs, builds and grows pet care stores on Shopify around exactly that — starting from the 4 category challenges below, and prioritising the levers that move revenue fastest here: consumption-based reorder automation, vet-endorsement and safety content, multi-pet household bundling.
Pet owners buy on a predictable consumption cycle and respond strongly to subscription convenience once trust in the product is established — the first purchase is the hardest, retention after that is comparatively easy.
Pet food and consumables run out on a knowable schedule, but customers frequently forget to reorder without a nudge. A bag of pet food runs out on a genuinely predictable schedule — the failure mode isn't that the product wasn't good enough to rebuy, it's that nobody reminded the owner before they defaulted to a convenience-store alternative.
Product needs vary widely by pet size and breed, complicating both merchandising and inventory. A feeding guideline that works for a small breed is meaningfully wrong for a large one — merchandising and even portion recommendations need to account for that variability, not treat pets as one undifferentiated customer.
Pet owners treat purchases as care decisions, not just transactions — quality and safety claims matter more than price. A pet owner is making a care decision, not just a purchase — vague ingredient or safety claims read very differently to someone buying for a pet than someone buying for themselves.
Recommendations from vets and pet communities carry more weight than brand advertising. A vet or trusted pet-community recommendation carries more weight than paid advertising in this category — the brand's job is partly to earn that endorsement, not just buy reach around it.
Where the same effort moves revenue furthest in this category.
Matches subscription timing to actual usage rate by pet size/breed. A reorder cadence set to a specific pet's actual consumption rate — not a flat 30-day default — is what keeps a subscription accurate enough that the owner never runs out.
Builds the trust needed for an emotionally-driven purchase category. Genuine vet input or endorsement on ingredient and safety content does more trust-building work in this category than any amount of brand-authored copy.
Increases AOV for households with more than one pet. A household with two pets of different sizes or breeds needs a bundling flow that accounts for both — treating them as a single undifferentiated order undersells the actual opportunity.
Illustrative starting points, not an endorsement or a fixed recommendation — the right stack depends on your store's actual constraints.
Reorder timing set to actual pet size/breed consumption rate rather than a flat default interval.
Rewards the repeat purchasing this category naturally supports once first-purchase trust is established.
Surfaces professional or community endorsement, which carries more weight here than brand messaging alone.
Store, tracking, and ad-account audit before any recommendation.
Engineering and campaigns shipped in two-week sprints, shared staging.
Coordinated go-live with rollback plans and full documentation.
Iterate against real Shopify revenue — not platform-reported numbers.
We're D2C and Shopify generalists with deep vertical exposure — not a boutique agency that only serves pet care. What we bring is Shopify-specific engineering and marketing depth, applied to the operational realities of this category.
Tracking and technical fixes show up within weeks. CRO and retention improvements compound over 2–3 months. Strategy engagements typically run 4–6 weeks before execution begins.
Usually the latter. We start with a diagnostic — most stores can be meaningfully improved without a full rebuild. We'll tell you honestly if a rebuild is actually justified.
Yes — migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, or custom platforms are a core part of our Shopify Engineering service, with zero data loss and SEO preserved.

Pet care is one of the few D2C categories where the reorder timing is genuinely predictable — a bag of food or a box of litter runs out on a knowable schedule tied to pet size and consumption rate. The businesses that win here aren't necessarily winning on product; they're winning on being the brand that's already in the customer's inbox before the bag runs empty, because the alternative is a convenience-store substitute bought in a five-minute panic.
What makes this harder to execute than it sounds is that "predictable" doesn't mean "uniform." A Labrador and a Chihuahua don't consume food at the same rate, multi-pet households complicate a single subscription cadence, and pet owners scrutinise ingredient and safety claims the way a parent scrutinises baby products — because to them, it's the same category of decision. The store has to earn trust once and then make the reorder as close to automatic as possible.
Where it is today and what's not working — a senior engineer will come back with where we'd start and what it would take.
