PETQ

Petiq Inc

A maker of flea, tick, dental and wellness products for pets, PetIQ sells brands like PetArmor, Capstar and VetIQ through retailers across the country. It was founded in 2010 by Cord Christensen, who was inspired to start the company after a surprisingly high veterinary bill for his own pet. The name blends "pet" with "IQ" to suggest a smarter way to care for animals, and the business grew to become one of the largest players in affordable pet health care.
