About Us

Jindu “the dogman” Elueze developed a passion at four years old, started gathering at ten, was allowed to sell only a few dogs when he was sixteen, returned fully to the business after tertiary education in his twenties and now sits as Managing Director at Pet Planet Integrated Services with offices in Nigeria and South Africa and representatives in the USA. Sounds like he’s made already but he says that we have seen only a little as this is just a tip of the iceberg.

Jindu’s climb to the top has not been without hassles and being the biggest dog exporter in West Africa carries its unique challenges; he however describes the things he has had to pass through as the furnace that brought out the beauty of the precious stone; from being rejected to being misunderstood, nutritional worries to client’s concerns, everything is taken by him as a stepping stone to the destination.

Jindu fits the description of “father of pets” as said by one of his friends when he visited the animal farm; at the moment the dogman imports, trains, feeds and carries out general consultancy on domestic animals but on luxury and security breeds mainly.

On the principles that guide his business he says he lives on one -setting himself apart and that has worked for him from his days in the Environmental Science department of the University of Benin. This is very true as social media players acknowledge that Pet Planet has the most interactive and client friendly social accounts among animal organisations and medium-scale businesses in West Africa. His clientele which includes A-list artistes, big organisations and individuals that matter also sets him apart and speaks volumes of his professionalism.

It’s not been all rosy as Jindu recalls when he lost more than eight dogs that had been paid for and more others took ill for reasons unknown; as expected a number of clients had abridged emotions for him and his organisation and some expressed theirs quite uniquely. Challenges do not deter the strong however as he picked and dusted himself up, went back to the drawing board and reworked his way up to being the most trusted pet dealer in Nigeria.

For a lot of persons dogs are just about reproduction and sales of puppies but for Jindu who is also known as “half man, half dog” it’s about quality, professionalism and adding value to service; these are the things Pet Planet stands for.

Something else stands the dogman out among businessmen and that’s his listening ears; nobody ever talks with him and gets ignored, to him every idea is welcome and every opinion counts; this he says has helped him in his business of pets and their accessories.

A lot of persons do not like to deal with some business owners as entrepreneurs are seen to have only their interests at heart; but dealing with half man-half dog seems to be all profits as even his affiliate shipper is now being regarded as the biggest dog exporter in South Africa -talk about spreading the success virus!

Jindu Elueze braved all odds to be a major pet dealer in West Africa and at the moment sits as the most relevant and most reliable among all. He preaches the doctrine of pet ownership anywhere he goes and he’s a strong advocate of animal rights. He often tells people to own a pet as it helps in seeing life from d different perspective and as per his plans he has chosen to keep them close to his chest but urges the world to watchout for Pet Planet worldwide. They call Jindu Elueze “the dogman”, “man of pets” and different pet related names and he answers all with joy, the reason?…pets pay the bills!
