Pet-Tek International — Since 1999·For retailers, installers & trade partners·7 min read
Run a pet shop, a hardware or garden store, an online store, or a glazing business? Buying pet doors wholesale from Pet-Tek International gets you real trade pricing, a product that keeps earning its shelf space, and stock direct from the source: Catwalk® cat doors and Dogwalk® dog doors. This guide sticks to the practical side — how we set trade pricing, what sort of minimum order to expect, and how to open an account. If what you're really after is a full distributor relationship with exclusive territory, that's a different conversation, and we walk through it in how to become a Pet-Tek distributor.
Key takeaways:
Trade pricing is set on application and scaled to how much you order, so the rate is quoted for your business rather than pinned to a public price.
Minimum orders are modest and confirmed when you open your account, so a smaller retailer can get going without a big upfront outlay.
One account covers the whole Catwalk® and Dogwalk® range plus spare parts — and because parts stay available for years, customers come back to you rather than replacing the door elsewhere.
Who buys Pet-Tek pet doors wholesale?
Pet-Tek supplies trade buyers of every size: independent pet shops and superstores, hardware and garden chains, online pet and DIY resellers, glaziers and pet-door installers, and building-supply merchants. Sell over the counter, fit doors on site, or resell into your own network — a wholesale account gets you the same manufacturer-direct pricing across the range. Why the category does well at retail (healthy margins, few returns, repeat accessory sales) is covered in our distributor guide, so we won't rehash it here; this piece is about how the buying actually works.
How Pet-Tek trade pricing works
We quote trade pricing on application rather than publishing it, and the reason is simple. Put wholesale prices next to the consumer product pages and you've effectively shown your customers your cost, which eats the margin you depend on. Pricing also moves with volume: the more you order, per shipment or across a year, the lower the unit rate. No single published figure could reflect what your business actually ends up paying.
To get a trade price list for your business, apply for a trade account or email [email protected] with your business details and rough volume expectations. Australian trade buyers can also reach the team at [email protected]. What comes back is a rate card built around your order pattern, not a one-size-fits-all number.
"Your price is quoted to your business and moves with your volume, so what you pay reflects what you actually order — not a public list price."
Minimum order quantities (MOQs)
Yes, there's a minimum order, but it's kept sensible and we confirm it when your account opens. It shifts a little with what you're buying — a single model versus a spread across the range — and where it's headed. We keep it low enough that a small independent shop can open an account and stock a starter range without over-committing, while bigger chains and distributors buy at higher tiers and pay less per unit. We'll confirm the exact figure for your situation with your rate card; just get in touch.
Trade note: when you ask for pricing, tell us roughly what you expect to sell — glass-fitting or wood-fitting, cat or dog, and whether you want the battery-free multi-magnetic models. Give us a realistic mix and we can quote the right tier and MOQ first time, instead of a generic number you end up reworking.
Multi-magnetic cat doors — battery-free selective-entry models that open only for a cat wearing the collar magnet.
Spare parts & accessories — replacement flaps, locking dial sets and collar magnets from the spares range, available even for models made 20 years ago.
We ship wholesale worldwide from New Zealand. Australian trade buyers are looked after from local stock in Melbourne and Sydney, so turnaround there is quicker. Everywhere else, orders go by air or sea depending on size and how fast you need them, and we confirm the lead time when you order. It gets easier after the first order — you're quoting against a rate card you already hold instead of working it out again. Distributors placing regular volume orders get the shortest lead times and the best pricing.
Spare parts keep customers coming back
This one's easy to overlook. Because every door has replacement flaps, dials and seals available for its whole life, a single sale can turn into years of small ones. When a flap finally goes cloudy, that customer comes back to you for a new one instead of buying a whole new door somewhere else. Pet-Tek still makes parts for doors sold twenty years ago, so keeping a few spares on the shelf next to the doors is a cheap, sticky add-on for any retailer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Apply for a trade account through the trade / distributor application or email [email protected] with your business name, location and expected volume. You receive a tailored trade price list, your minimum order quantity and supply terms, and can then place your first order manufacturer-direct.
Minimum order quantities are modest and vary by product mix and destination market. They are kept low enough that a small independent retailer can open an account and stock a starter range, with larger tiers available for chains and distributors. Your exact MOQ is confirmed with your trade rate card — contact the team for yours.
No — trade pricing is provided on application. This protects your retail margin and lets pricing be tiered to your order volume, so you receive a rate quoted for your business rather than a single public figure. Request a trade price list by applying for an account or emailing [email protected].
A wholesale trade account lets you buy stock at trade pricing to resell or install.
