PIDA was organized in 1968 for the purpose of promoting programs and activities on behalf of the pet product wholesaler-distributor, we accomplish this through Exclusive Membership Benefits, Industry Events, Surveys & Publications, The Power of D for Distributors, and more.
At PIDA, we are your advocate in sharing the value distributors bring to the supply chain in the pet industry. We call this the Power of Distribution. Some feel that consolidation at the distributor level has reduced the Power of Distribution. Don’t be fooled. Though distributors are fewer in number than in years past, the volume of products and dollars flowing through the channel is greater than ever.
