For the most part, they usually even see them as their own child. They are an integral part of the family and pet owners will pretty much do whatever they need to in order to ensure their pet's safety as well as having them be comfortable. Now, take that and start dropshipping it in one of the most profitable places to dropship in Europe, the UK, and you have yourself a winning dropshipping store or winning dropshipping niche. So with that in this video, we're going to be covering the top 17 best dropshipping suppliers that you can use for your pet dropshipping store in the UK. Now, guaranteed you haven't heard of a few of these suppliers, so make sure you watch all the way through to get the most out of it and learn as much as you can. I'm telling you some of these I didn't even know about until now, so it's worth a watch. Let's go ahead and run the intro and let's get started.

I'm going to have everything that I'm going to be talking about in this video, including all of the different links and a couple of extra little bonuses here and there. Now, if you want access to that, all you have to do is go ahead and comment down below hashtag pets UK and let me know which one of these suppliers is your favorite. Once I see that you went ahead and commented, I'll go ahead and reply back with a link to the cheat sheet. All right. So before we get started, let's go ahead and cover one quick thing. These are a few key factors that you need to look out for whenever you're looking for a new supplier. It doesn't matter whether it's for pet supplies or whatever else it may be. These are a few things that you always have to keep in mind when choosing a new supplier. So to start, you want to make sure that they have quick shipping and delivery. You want to make sure that they ship number one worldwide and number two that they have worldwide warehouses. The reason you want worldwide warehouses is because that makes it quicker to ship to different countries. Now to go along with the shipping, you also want to make sure that they update you with tracking numbers. Believe it or not, some suppliers will not give you tracking numbers. So those are the types of suppliers that you want to stay away from. Another thing you always want to look out for is reviews on both the products as well as the store. So you want to make sure that your suppliers have some good reviews and not just two or three either. You want to make sure that they have at least 20 or 30 different reviews, all with detailed reviews. If they have very generic reviews that really just say, oh, great product. Oh, my mom loved it. Oh, my cousin's brother's husband's friend loved it. Those are super generic reviews. And a lot of the times those could potentially be fake. So you want to look for reviews that are specific and actually have to do with the product itself. For example, my dog loved the toy. It squeaks just enough to get my dog's attention, something like that, something that's specific to the item itself. Another thing to keep in mind is payment options. Make sure that your suppliers have some practical payment options. These usually include bank transfers, money, grams, PayPal, and most popular credit card or debit card acceptance. So you want to make sure that they accept the most generic kinds of payments and that they don't make it too complicated. Return policies are also something huge to look out for. You want to make sure that your suppliers have a good return policy. You don't want to go with a supplier that does not accept returns, because in that case, if a customer decides they don't want this product, then you're going to be stuck with a dead product that you're probably not going to sell. And it's just going to take up space wherever you decide to have them return it. Customer service is also a huge plus. Always make sure that your suppliers have good customer service. So remember that our customer service is essentially a reflection of our supplier's customer service. If a customer has a question and we reach out to our suppliers and it takes them about two days to get back to us, that's how long it's going to take us to get back to our customers. So that in itself is pretty much customer service. By that time, usually the customer is going to be long gone and have probably made the purchase somewhere else. Always make sure that they have affordable pricing or at least competitive pricing shop around with different suppliers, look at similar items and see how they're priced. And last but certainly not least, make sure that they have a wide product range. You want to go with a supplier that has tons of different items that you can choose from rather than just a handful. All right, so let's go ahead and get started with the countdown. Now to start, the ones that I'm about to mention are actually going to be retail dropshipping suppliers. After the retail section, we're going to go ahead and talk about some wholesale suppliers. But just to be clear, these next few suppliers I'm going to be covering are going to be retail dropshipping suppliers. So kicking off this list at number one is going to be AliExpress. AliExpress is a fantastic option to test out different items because they just have an endless supply of items. They have so many different products to be able to choose from. And on top of that, to help you find some winning products, they also have the AliExpress dropship center. Now I'm not entirely sure what's going on with the dropship center right now because it's only showing me two different products with a bunch of different pages. But usually here you have tons of different products that have a proven track record and are currently trending. On top of that, you have some analysis. So here you can see that this product itself has a 4.6 star rating and they've actually sold about 4,550 units. So as you can see on AliExpress, they do have tons of different items ranging from accessories to bedding to toys, pretty much anything you need for your pets. Another big plus is the fact that they're extremely affordable. So as you can see, these grooming gloves are actually only 99 cents as a welcome deal. Aside from that, typically they're going to be about $4.50, which actually is not that bad. Coming up at number two for our retail dropshipping suppliers for UK pet supplies is going to be Banggood. Now Banggood is a great option to have as a supplier because for one, they ship worldwide. Two, they have worldwide warehouses and three, they have some pretty unique pet products. So as you can see, scrolling through their homepage after we searched the pet suppliers, you see a few different products that I actually didn't see on AliExpress, one of them being this foldable portable ladder. Now Banggood itself is actually a certified dropshipping supplier. So that means that this website is actually meant for you to use it as a dropshipping supplier for your dropshipping store. Also on Banggood, you're always going to be saving some money because for the most part, there's always going to be some sort of sale or coupon going on that you can use. And remember, whenever you're saving a dollar, you're essentially making a dollar. So every dollar saved is a dollar earned in profit. Now up next, we actually have one of my personal favorite suppliers and that's going to be Amazon. Now the reason why I love Amazon so much is because for one, they have fantastic customer service. Two, they have extremely quick shipping. So if you have Amazon Prime, you can get free two day shipping on most items on the website. And three, they have a really good return policy. So on most items, you have a 30 day return policy that's pretty much no questions asked. Now a lot of the times when you do go return, they do actually have one question, they ask you why, but it really doesn't matter what your reason is. You can choose whatever reason you want. A lot of the times I just click on other and just put it didn't work out. And really, that's all there is to it with its huge assortment of products and tons of sellers. Up next, we have eBay. eBay is a great option, not only because it has tons of different items, but also because it gives you the ability to spy on the competition. So you can go ahead and click on anybody's listings, or you can click on their profiles and you can spy on their sales. Now, another way that you can spy on the competition is checking to see what has actually sold recently. So the way you can do that is on the side, just go ahead and scroll all the way down. And we're going to go ahead and look for show only from here. We're going to click on sold items. And these are all of the different items that have sold recently and how much they've sold for. So as you can see, this little pet backpack sold for $35 with $15 shipping. eBay also has buyer seller protection, which is a fantastic item that helps protect people from fraud. So if there's any issues either on the buyer side or the seller side, you can always reach out to eBay and they'll help take care of whatever's going on. Now this next supplier is niched more towards the home section, but you can always find some really good pet products on there that have to do with home. So things like pet beds, crates, kennels and bowls. So wafer is a fantastic option to choose from if you want to do home based products. Now home based products can also encompass pet supplies. So home pet supplies wafer has an awesome program called the my way program, which the my way program can give you access to free one day shipping, some member exclusive products. So if you're a member of the my way program, you can have access to some different products that the general public will not have access to. And you also have access to free shipping. Now on top of all of that wafer actually has a warehouse located in the UK. So you can rest assured that you're going to have some pretty quick shipping. Now remember how I said that there's going to be a few websites on here that even I didn't know about. Well, this is one of them. Go drop ship is a great website to drop ship specifically in the UK. So go drop ship is actually based out of the UK, which makes it have some pretty quick shipping. Most orders ship and arrive between two to seven business days. On top of that, they actually have free shipping in the UK. And best of all, they have blank packaging blank packaging makes it so that your customers don't know where your items are coming from. They're going to think that it's pretty much coming from you. Next up we have pet planet. Pet planet is another UK based drop shipping supplier that specializes in the pet niche. They have next day delivery as well as a fantastic rewards program. Now remember whenever you have a supplier that offers a reward program, that's always a great way to be able to save some money. Whenever you start getting rewards, you start collecting those and eventually you can redeem that for credit or for different items. When you do that, you're pretty much saving some money whenever you're making a purchase for your drop shipping store. All right, that's it for the retail drop shipping suppliers. Now let's move on to our wholesale suppliers. And to kick off this list, we have at number one, CJ drop shipping. CJ drop shipping has a massive number of products. They have so many to choose from that you're going to get lost in all of their different items. But on top of that, they also have print on demand, which is an awesome option to have because that pretty much means that you can have different items printed with your designs on them. Now, how does this work with pets? Well, pretty easy. You can start doing some pet t shirts and add your own designs to that, or you can do something like a pet frisbee and put your design on that or even a pet bowl and have it customized with a pet's name on it. Print on demand really gives you the ability to be able to customize almost any product. Aside from print on demand, CJ drop shipping also has white label products, which just like plank packaging pretty much makes it so that way your customers don't know where your packages are coming from. So at the end of the day, they're going to think that you're shipping them either from your house, your garage or your warehouse. And last but certainly not least on the list of benefits for CJ drop shipping is quality control. Quality control is obviously extremely important and CJ drop shipping does a great job at it. So when you're sourcing your products from CJ drop shipping, you can always rest assured that there's going to be some sort of quality control behind them. And the products are usually being inspected to make sure that they're up to standard. In our second spot, we have the HK now the HK shines in their prices. So they have some pretty low prices with some pretty high quality items on top of that, they have 24 seven customer support. So if at any time during the day or night, you have any questions or concerns about a product or an order, you can reach out to them and they'll get back to you fairly quickly. And best of all, for the most part, you're not going to have any minimum order quantity when you're sourcing your products from DH gate. Up next, we have cost way. Now cost way is another fantastic option for drop shipping suppliers because they actually have drop shipping agreements. So if you're drop shipping on certain places like let's say eBay, and they ask you for an agreement between you and the drop shipper, you can easily reach out to cost way and you can sign an agreement. So that way you have proof that you're using them as your suppliers cost way also has an amazing 90 day warranty. So if there's any problems with your product, or if it's defective, maybe your customer just even doesn't like it, you can always return it within 90 days for a full refund or an exchange cost way also offers free standard shipping, which typically takes about three to seven business days. And they also have cashback. Now with their cashback system, it is pretty easy to take advantage. So all you really have to do to start making some extra money is really just keep using them as your supplier. The more purchases you make, the more you're going to be receiving because you're going to get a percentage from each purchase, keep using them as your supplier, keep making purchases, and that cashback is just going to keep racking up. Vita XL is next up on our list with 24 seven deals. So at any time you sign on to this website, you're always going to have some sort of sale or some sort of coupon to be able to save some money and make a little bit of extra bucks. Vita XL also offers free delivery as well as free returns. And for the bigger ticket items, they give you the option to be able to pay in installments. Up next, we have of course, one of my favorites, and this is going to be the auto DS private suppliers and warehouse. So if you don't know, auto DS is actually in the warehouse game. So we have our own warehouse that ships our own products. So let's jump on over to auto DS.com and go ahead and log in. And once we're in here, we're going to go ahead and simply go to the marketplace. Once we're in the marketplace, we're going to go ahead and switch over the supplier to auto DS suppliers. And we're going to be prompted with tons of different bestselling items. Now let's go ahead and narrow this down a little bit. And let's change the category to pets. Now here you're prompted with tons of different products that are currently trending and have been proven to sell in the past. So these all have a proven track record of being best sellers. So let's go ahead and check out something from the auto DS warehouse. Let's look at this cat bed, which is actually really cool. I'm going to go ahead and actually import that to my store really fast. Let me just click on import draft and I'll go ahead and make any edits a little bit later. So as you can see, this product ships from the auto DS warehouse and has customizable branding. When a product has customizable branding on our platform, that means that you're going to be able to ship this product with a custom thank you card. That thank you card is already going to be pre written, but you have the ability to put your logo on it on top of that in the near future. We're also going to be offering custom branded bags. So your items will be shipped with your logo on the packaging as well. Now one thing to take a notice is the shipping times. So as you can see, these over here have 11 to 14 business days. Those aren't 11 to 14 days for the item to ship. That's actually 11 to 14 business days for the customer to receive their order from the time that they place it. Now if we go ahead and click into it, you're going to see all of the different options. So you have the different colors. In this case, they just have light gray and a few different sizes. If you have any questions about the product, you can easily just click on message this supplier and you can send us a message, scroll down a little bit and then you have the product info. This is pretty easy to just go ahead and copy over to your listing. So that way you can have a ready to post description. Of course, there's always a little bit of fine tuning that you can do to make it a bit nicer and a bit more legible when it comes to both the description as well as the title. Now another quick thing that I wanted to show you was on top of the auto DS warehouse. We also have the auto DS private suppliers. So here we have a supplier called Yannip David and they actually also offer customized branding. Now their shipping time is between eight to 11 business days, but just so you all know that this doesn't come directly from us. When you see the name of a different supplier on there, that means that's one of our private suppliers. Our private suppliers have gone through some rigorous testing and you can rest assured that their products are going to be quality and they're going to ship on time. These are all suppliers that have signed up to become private suppliers on the auto DS platform. Up next we have PetSupply UK. PetSupply UK actually has a massive amount of unique items, some of which I actually haven't seen on the big websites like AliExpress or CJ Dropshipping. Another cool thing about PetSupply UK is the fact that they don't just cater to the typical cats, dogs, and birds. On PetSupply UK you can find products for just about any type of pet. Now another thing about this website is the fact that they always have some sort of discount. Whether it be wholesale or a coupon, you can always find some great prices and some great discounts on PetSupply UK. GorePets is up next with another incredible range of products for your pets. All of the products on this website have been tested to make sure that they're safe for pets. On top of that they have some pretty quick shipping, especially in the UK, and they also have high quality and affordable products. VitalPets is up next with an extensive product range. Here you can find products for your typical home pet as well as wild animals. VitalPets always has some sort of sale going on as well and they also have free standard shipping on orders over 350 pounds. Next up is Pedigree Wholesale. They have some great customer service and they have some awesome wholesale deals. Their pricing on their value items is like none other and you're really not going to find some of these items cheaper anywhere else. On top of that every single month they have new items being added to the store. And last but certainly not least on our list for top dropshipping suppliers in the UK for pet supplies is Pet Dreamhouse. Pet Dreamhouse offers bundle options where you can purchase different types of pet products together for a bundled price. So you can purchase different types of items and get them at a discounted price so you can save a couple bucks and remember once again a dollar saved is a dollar earned. You also have the option to customize some of the different designs on some of these different products. This gives you the ability to provide some pretty unique offerings and last but certainly not least they always have some sort of promotion going on. So regardless whenever you decide to go purchase from them you're always going to be able to save a couple bucks and that does it for the top 17 UK pet dropshipping suppliers.
