Our pack is growing!
Welcome to our Vice President, Sales, Patrick Lima.
Wag & Bright Supply Co. is thrilled to announce Patrick Lima as our new Vice President of Sales.
Patrick joins the pack with 20 years of experience in the pet care industry, bringing a deep understanding of the industry, its retailers, and the products that get dogs, and their people, excited. His experience includes leadership roles with Polkadog and Pet Food Experts, as well as running his own business supporting brands and manufacturers in the independent pet space.
Most recently, as Director of Sales, East at Polkadog, Patrick worked closely with independent pet retailers across the U.S., managed relationships with national distributors and Eastern Canada, and helped launch the brand with Petco and Petsense across a combined 1,500 locations. He also played an active role in product development, promotional strategy, trade shows, distributor relationships, and overall company strategy.
Patrick brings a strong understanding of the independent pet retail community. Earlier in his career with Pet Food Experts, he led a team of eight Territory Managers responsible for the regional book of business across New England and New York, while working directly with retailers, vendors, and manufacturers on everything from new products and promotions to merchandising and business strategy.
Known for building relationships based on trust, follow-through, and execution, Patrick shares the entrepreneurial spirit that has shaped Wag & Bright from day one. As a former business owner himself, he understands what it takes to build brands, support retailers, develop strong distribution partnerships, and turn big ideas into growth.
As Wag & Bright continues to grow across Canada, the U.S., and international markets, Patrick will lead our sales strategy and work closely with our retail and distribution partners to expand the Wag & Bright pack.
“Wag & Bright has grown because of great products, big ideas, and really strong relationships. Patrick understands all three,” says Andrea Cormie, Founder, Wag & Bright Supply Co. “He brings years of experience in the pet industry, but more importantly, he shares our commitment to innovation, and understands independent retailers and what it takes to be a great partner to them. Adding Patrick to our pack feels like a natural next step as we continue to grow, and we’re thrilled to have him leading our sales strategy as Wag & Bright enters its next phase of growth.”
And because you can't join the Wag & Bright team without answering a few very important questions, we asked Patrick:
Tell us about your dog! Name, breed, and one fun fact.
Levi, Aussiedoodle Mix, He loves when we sing to him.If your dog could choose one Mighty Marrow flavour, which one would they pick?
BACON!!!If your dog could describe you in three words, what would they be? Loving, fun, reliable.
We're excited for this next chapter and can't wait to see the relationships, ideas, and opportunities Patrick brings to Wag & Bright.
Welcome to the pack, Patrick.
