Big Dee's Tack & Vet Supply

What Big Dee's Tack & Vet Supply does

Big Dee's Tack & Vet Supply is a privately held specialty retailer of equine and pet supplies, operating an omnichannel business that combines a national e-commerce storefront (bigdweb.com) with a single physical retail store in Streetsboro, Ohio. The company sells across eight core product categories — horse supplements, horse care, leg protection, blankets, tack and equipment, stable and pet supplies, apparel, and footwear/gifts — comprising an estimated 10,000+ SKUs, with particularly deep coverage of nutritional supplements (600+ products across 25+ subcategories including joint, digestive, metabolic, calming, and hoof health) and professional farrier supplies from brands such as Vettec, Keratex, Victory, and St Croix. The technology stack is a standard e-commerce platform with integrated inventory management, customer accounts, subscription fulfillment, and live chat/phone support.

The business model is primarily one-time product sales through both e-commerce and retail, supplemented by the AutoShip subscription program (covering 1,000+ products with a 5% recurring discount and flexible 2-week to 12-month delivery cadences), a tax-exemption processing service for farms and businesses across 17 U.S. states, and a custom embroidery/decals personalization service. Pricing is unit-based across a wide range ($4.95 to $128+ for individual items; supplements $15–$270), with free shipping on orders over $70 and same-day shipping on in-stock items. Customer segments include individual horse owners and recreational riders (primary), professional farriers, horse farms and boarding stables, and racing/performance horse operations, served via SEO/content marketing, email, digital sales flyers, and the physical storefront. No AI capabilities, funding events, acquisitions, or executive team information are disclosed in the available source data, and revenue is not publicly reported.
