What Davis Manufacturing does

Davis Manufacturing is a private wholesale manufacturer and distributor of professional pet grooming products headquartered at 541 Proctor Avenue in Scottdale, Georgia. The company sells exclusively to approved business accounts — veterinary clinics, professional grooming salons, and kennels — and does not serve consumer e-commerce channels such as Amazon, eBay, or Shopify. Its product portfolio combines proprietary Davis-brand lines (shampoos, conditioners, medicated products, fragrances, and grooming equipment under sub-brands including Pure Planet Naturals, Spa Pet Collection, Holiday Pet Collection, and Luxury Spa Cologne) with distributed third-party brands such as Andis, Wahl, Oster, Geib, Millers Forge, and EZ Groom. Customers must register with business credentials and pricing is hidden behind account login.

The company's business model is B2B wholesale with same-day shipping, multi-state sales tax collection (15 states), and an international distributor network. Revenue derives primarily from one-time wholesale product sales, supplemented by professional blade and shear sharpening services. The company maintains a digital presence through its e-commerce website (built on k-ecommerce for Dynamics GP), an online catalog, a blog, a store locator, and a Scent Finder Quiz widget. Operational scope is U.S.-centric with documented international distributor partnerships, and the company shows ongoing SKU and sub-brand expansion within the professional pet grooming category.

Davis Manufacturing is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the available data. Management team, headcount, financial details, and founding date are not publicly disclosed. The operating model is a traditional wholesale distribution business with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities or digital platform beyond its e-commerce storefront.

Direct peers

• PBS Animal Health: PBS Animal Health is a B2B distributor of animal health, grooming, and farm supply products. It serves veterinarians, kennels, and breeders — an overlapping customer base with Davis, particularly on grooming supplies and small-animal health products.
• PetEdge: PetEdge is the largest US B2B distributor of professional pet grooming supplies and equipment. Both companies operate exclusive B2B wholesale models selling to verified groomers, vets, and kennels with similar product assortments spanning Davis-equivalent shampoo lines, Andis/Wahl clippers, blades, and dryers.
• Revival Animal Health: Revival Animal Health is a B2B animal health supplier serving veterinary clinics and professional pet care providers. It competes with Davis in veterinary-distributed grooming and skin/coat care products, with comparable same-day shipping and account-based ordering.
• Jeffers Pet: Jeffers Pet is a long-established B2B catalog and online supplier of animal health and grooming products. It sells to veterinarians, breeders, and groomers — a customer base and product mix (shampoos, equipment, blades, supplements) directly comparable to Davis Manufacturing.
• Groomer's Choice: Groomer's Choice is a B2B supplier specializing in professional pet grooming products, equipment, and tools. Like Davis, it serves licensed groomers and salons with branded shampoo lines, premium equipment (Andis, Wahl), and a sharpening service offering.
• KV Veterinary Supply: KV Vet Supply (a Ceva Animal Health subsidiary) is a B2B distributor serving veterinarians, kennels, and grooming professionals. It overlaps with Davis on shampoo, clipper, and blade categories, and shares the account-approval B2B sales motion.

Broad incumbents

• Chewy: Chewy is the largest US online pet retailer and operates a Chewy Business B2B division serving veterinarians, groomers, and kennels. While broader and consumer-facing, Chewy represents an emerging B2B threat that could pressure Davis's pricing and account retention.
• Covetrus: Covetrus (formed via the merger of VWR and MWI Animal Health) is a global animal-health distribution and software company serving veterinary practices. It overlaps with Davis in veterinary-channel pet care supplies and grooming-adjacent products at significantly larger scale.
• Patterson Companies: Patterson is a large US distributor of veterinary and animal health products through Patterson Veterinary Supply. It is a broader incumbent than Davis but operates an analogous B2B distribution model into veterinary clinics that also buy grooming supplies.
• Petco: Petco is a national specialty pet retailer that also offers in-store grooming services and supplies. While primarily a B2C retailer, Petco's growing grooming-services footprint and private-label pet care products create indirect competition for both Davis's customers and brand share.
