Griffy & Drake offers several ways to keep your boutique stocked with fresh, trendy pet apparel and accessories.
Weekly Releases
Every Friday at 12:00 PM EST, we launch new Weekly Releases. These collections are in stock and ready to ship, typically within 1–2 business days. Weekly Releases feature limited-quantity prints and styles that are designed to create excitement and encourage repeat purchases from your customers.
Why Aren't Items Restocked?
Most Weekly Release prints are intentionally produced in limited quantities and are not restocked once sold out. This helps:
Keep your inventory unique
Prevent market oversaturation
Give customers a reason to shop regularly
Allow us to continually introduce fresh new designs
Once a Weekly Release print is gone, it is usually retired permanently.
Quick Restock Bundles
Need inventory fast but don't want to spend time choosing products?
Our Quick Restock Bundles are mystery assortments of current inventory that make it easy to refill your shelves. These bundles:
Are one low price
Include a variety of styles and prints
Offer an MSRP value of at least double wholesale
Ship quickly
Are perfect for newer Retailers or anyone needing inventory in a hurry
Preorders
Throughout the year, we also offer Preorders for seasonal, specialty, and limited-edition collections.
Preorders:
Remain open for approximately one week
Are made-to-order based on Retailer demand
Often feature holiday, seasonal, or highly requested themes
Allow you to secure inventory before production begins
Because preorder items are produced specifically for the orders received, delivery times are longer than Weekly Releases, but they provide access to exclusive collections that may not be available any other way.
The Best Strategy
Many successful Retailers use a combination of:
Weekly Releases for fresh inventory and fast shipping
Preorders for seasonal and specialty collections
Quick Restock Bundles for easy inventory replenishment
This approach keeps your boutique stocked with unique products while giving customers something new to look forward to every week.

We are not! No team building or having to recruit others to earn your income. You earn your income by selling products from your own inventory.
-
Since we are simply your wholesaler, we do not tell you how to run your business or where you can sell your items. The only guideline we have is in online pricing in order to create a fair playing field for all of our Retailers. Aside from that, you choose where to sell, how to sell, and make every other decision you need to to have a thriving business.

You will purchase your Griffy & Drake items at wholesale prices which you in turn sell to your customers are retail prices. Our suggested retail pricing is double the wholesale price, which means you have a profit margin of 50% on our items. Since you purchase you inventory up front from us, you keep 100% of what you collect from your customers!

No! There are no contracts to be a Griffy & Drake Retailer. This means you can discontinue your status as a Retailer at any time with no penalties!
-
Absolutely! We find some of our most successful Retailers are those who have a variety of items to offer their customers as they’re able to appeal to the widest audience.

We want to make sure that all of our Retailers are set up for success and are committed to making sure we don’t place too many in one area where they will be competing with one another. We do this by evaluating each zip code for multiple applications. Should an application come in for a zip code that already has a Griffy & Drake Retailer, we may or may not approve that application depending on the population and if that area can successfully hold multiple Retailers. This is done on a case by case basis. Small towns may only have 1 Retailer while large cities may have 2-3.
-
Because we limit the number of Retailers in each zip code, we want to make sure every protected territory is being put to good use and not sitting on the sidelines. 🐾
To keep things fair for everyone, we have a simple monthly minimum purchase requirement of $100 per calendar month. This helps ensure that active Retailers can continue growing their businesses while allowing new applicants the opportunity to join the Pack in areas that may become available.
But don't stress! We know life happens. Sometimes business slows down, unexpected expenses pop up, or you're just having one of those months where life is lifin'.
If you want to remain an active Retailer but are temporarily unable to meet the minimum, just reach out to us. We're always happy to have a conversation and can often provide a waiver when needed. Our goal is to support our Retailers, not penalize them.
At Griffy & Drake, we believe in people first. We would never take away someone's opportunity to be a Retailer simply because they're going through a temporary hardship. We value the relationships we've built and are committed to helping our Retailers succeed through both the exciting seasons and the challenging ones.

No! We are strictly wholesale, which means we only sell to business owners and not to the public. You will not see us selling our items online and we will never be your competition. We are here to support YOU!
