Pet Parents® Ranks Impressively on the 2020 Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies List

NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inc. magazine today revealed that Pet Parents® is No. 378 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

Pet Parents®, a company that has only been in business for four years, had a three-year revenue growth of 1208.04 percent. Additionally, Pet Parents® is the fastest growing company in Iowa, as well as the 43rd fastest growing company in the Consumer Products & Services category.

Blake Anderson, founder and CEO of Pet Parents®, says: "Pet Parents® started from a pain point felt with our own furbabies. Like a puppy, we've grown a ton in a short time. Being on the Inc. 5000, and better yet, the Inc. 500 is a huge honor, as it demonstrates our focused efforts and momentum to move the needle and help pet parents raise their pets from birth, to adulthood, keeping their home clean, and their pet family healthy & happy. We're no longer a puppy, but still have so much growing & tricks to learn in becoming the top dogs. "

Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.
