In the competitive pet product industry, Healthybud stands out for its commitment to health and quality. This Montreal-based eCommerce pioneer specializes in crafting nutrition-rich pet food products, backed by years of scientific research. Yet, as their brand gained momentum, Healthybud faced new challenges: efficiently distributing their products to major national and international retailers, including Canadian Tire. Enter ShipTop, a leader in eCommerce fulfillment, ready to transform Healthybud’s distribution strategy.
Challenge
As the company grew fiercely, efficient pet product distribution to various channels became a major challenge.

Finding a fulfillment partner capable of navigating these complexities was crucial for Healthybud’s continued expansion.
