After 20 years in corporate America, Neil Sheth and his wife decided to venture into the pet business, opening Pet Evolution in Frisco in February 2023.

The franchise is based out of Minnesota, Sheth said, adding that it was the first location to open outside of the home territory.

Pet Evolution offers premium pet food, toys and accessories, a self-wash station and grooming services, Sheth said. A second Pet Evolution location opened in Frisco in February but is not owned by the couple.

What’s special about it

Pet Evolution provides a level of service that other stores can’t, Sheth said, adding that when pet parents come into the store, staff will ask about the pet so they can provide recommendations on which pet food will be best for them.


“A lot of people will come to us and ask, ‘What would you do,’ or, ‘What do you think,’” Sheth said. “You end up becoming a problem solver, and that helps a lot.”

Sheth said the chances of health issues, such as diabetes, can be reduced through proper diet.

Giving back

Sheth said he wants to give back to the community and works with many local animal shelters to provide pet food at discounted prices.


“This way, they are able to feed the animals a very high-quality kibble versus processed dog food,” Sheth said. “They were going to Walmart before, but we were like, ‘We’ll match the price.’”

The store also regularly donates canned and bagged food to pet food pantries, which helps families in need feed their pets. Sheth said the store is also active with North Texas dog rescue organization Rescue Row.

Quote of note

“Every dog deserves not only life, but every dog deserves to have a full, nutritionally dense meal,” Sheth said. “We even send care packages that include our food to new fosters, so, hopefully, the dog doesn’t go back on Purina.”
