Product Description
MatchMyPet.com is the first online platform with a focus on providing breeding services for pet owners and professional animal breeders. In addition to breeding services, at MatchMyPet, animal owners are connected to a vast array of service providers and products. MatchMyPet also provides owners with the ability to create profiles for their pets, which can be used to become part of virtual community and/or make online connections with other nearby pet people and animal lovers (which can also be used in furtherance of the breeding focus of MatchMyPet). In summary, MatchMyPet.com is a One-Stop shop and exhibition vehicle for both pet owners and professional animal breeders.

Market Opportunity
We are pioneers in the $2 billion/year Breeding Market. Currently, there are no well-established online services that enable breeders to provide their service online. Similarly, the Pet Industry’s more general demands for online services are inadequately addressed by the current online services. . We believe, by offering a myriad of supplementary online services, that we can help pet owners transfer their spending to service providers and products online. This will increase the total amount that pets owners spend online, whereupon we will take a significant share in an industry that is estimated to produce spending of $40 billion/year, with a solid growth rate of 8.8%
