pets, including aquariums, furniture and lighting fixtures, pumps, filters, water conditioners and supplements, and information and knowledge resources; and products for horses and livestock.
Packaged Facts estimates the pet supplies segment was $16.5&nbsp;billion in revenue in 2016. We also operate in the natural category of dog and cat food and treats and chews and in the live animal category. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe the U.S. pet supplies market will grow over the long-term due to favorable demographic and leisure trends. The key demographics
bolstering our markets are the growth rates in the number of millennials who now account for 35% of pet owners and account for more than half of small animal, reptile and saltwater fish owners. According to the 2017&#151;2018 APPA National Pet
Owners Survey, the number of U.S. pet owners in recent years has reached record highs, with 84.6&nbsp;million households, or 68%, owning a pet, an increase of almost five million households in two years. In addition, many pet supplies products
(e.g., dog and cat food, dog chews, bird food, grooming supplies, pest control, etc.) are routinely consumed and replenished. For example, as many as 82% of dog owners and 65% of cat owners regularly purchase some type of treat. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The U.S. pet supplies market is highly fragmented with approximately 1,400 manufacturers, consisting primarily of small companies with limited
product lines. The majority of these manufacturers do not have a captive sales and logistics network and must rely on us or other independent distributors to supply their products to regional pet specialty chains and independent retailers. According
to Packaged Facts, pet supplies sales increased 24% from 2012 to 2016. Sales are expected to increase an additional 19% to $19.6&nbsp;billion by 2021, indicating the strength of this category. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The pet food and supplies industry retail channel also remains fragmented, with approximately 7,800 independent pet supply stores in the
United States and only two national specialty retailers, PetSmart and PETCO. According to Packaged Facts, these two &#147;pet superstores&#148; have declined from 24% in 2014 and 2015 to 23% of overall pet product sales in 2016, and are expected to
decline to 21% by 2017. Pet products have also become a growing category in mass merchandisers, discounters, grocery outlets and the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-commerce</FONT> channel. Mass merchandisers, supermarkets and discounters have
historically carried a limited product assortment that features primarily pet food, but we believe these retailers are devoting more shelf space to meet increased consumer demand for premium pet supplies. Independent pet stores typically have a
relatively broad product selection and attempt to differentiate themselves by offering premier brands and knowledgeable service. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The Garden
Industry </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that gardening is one of the most popular leisure activities in the United States. According to the National
Gardening Survey, 74% of U.S. households participate in lawn and garden activities. Participation is highest amongst married households, people aged 55 and older, and those with no children. This demographic is expected to increase from
89&nbsp;million in 2015 to 99&nbsp;million in 2020. As the baby boom generation ages, this segment is expected to grow faster than the total population. We believe that this demographic will result in an increase in the number of lawn and garden
product users. With more people gardening in their yards and the potential trends of food gardening and organic gardening, we perceive this market as staying intact and showing positive growth. The Garden industry may be adversely impacted by
fluctuations in input costs and weather. We estimate the retail sales of the lawn and garden supplies industry in the categories in which we participate to be approximately $18.9&nbsp;billion in 2016. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lawn and garden products are sold to consumers through a number of distribution channels, including home centers, mass merchants, independent
nurseries and hardware stores. Home and garden centers and mass merchants typically carry multiple premium and value brands. </P>

Item&nbsp;1A in Part I of our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 and in Item&nbsp;1A in Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form

Information&#148; in this prospectus supplement. Before making a decision to invest in our Class&nbsp;A common stock, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently, deem immaterial may also affect our
operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer, and you could lose your investment in us. </I></P>

credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes restrict our ability to pay cash dividends. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to limitations under applicable law
and contractual restrictions, and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. See &#147;Dividend Policy.&#148; </P>

by applicable law or our charter, he can effectively control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of our directors, and can exert substantial control over our management and policies. The disproportionate voting rights
of our common stock and Class&nbsp;B common stock and Mr.&nbsp;Brown&#146;s substantial holdings of Class&nbsp;B common stock and common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and Class&nbsp;A common stock. Also,
such disproportionate voting rights and Mr.&nbsp;Brown&#146;s controlling interest may make us a less attractive target for a takeover than we otherwise might be, or render more difficult or discourage a merger proposal, tender offer or proxy
contest, even if such actions were favored by our other stockholders, which could thereby deprive holders of common stock or Class&nbsp;A common stock of an opportunity to sell their shares for a &#147;take-over&#148; premium. </P>

that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (&#147;ERISA&#148;), plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code or provisions
under any U.S. or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> federal, state, local or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, &#147;Similar Laws&#148;), and entities whose underlying

Matters </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or
Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code (an &#147;ERISA Plan&#148;) and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary
authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such a Plan, is generally considered to be a
fiduciary of the ERISA Plan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In considering an investment in the Class&nbsp;A common stock of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a
fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary&#146;s duties to the Plan including,
without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws. </P>

with persons or entities who are &#147;parties in interest,&#148; within the meaning of ERISA, or &#147;disqualified persons,&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or
disqualified person who engaged in a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-exempt</FONT> prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan
that engaged in such a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-exempt</FONT> prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. </P>

is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or &#147;PTCEs,&#148; that may apply to the
acquisition and holding of the Class&nbsp;A common stock. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">84-14</FONT> respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers,

managers. Each of the above-noted exemptions contains conditions and limitations on its application. Fiduciaries of ERISA Plans considering acquiring our Class&nbsp;A common stock in reliance on these or any other exemption should carefully review
the exemption to assure it is applicable. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing
our Class&nbsp;A common stock. However, the representatives may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the Class&nbsp;A common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our Class&nbsp;A common stock in the open market. These transactions
may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the
offering. &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146; option to purchase additional shares described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their
option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase
in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option granted to them. &#147;Naked&#148; short sales are sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by
purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our Class&nbsp;A common stock in the open market after pricing that could
adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

raising or maintaining the market price of our Class&nbsp;A common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our Class&nbsp;A common stock. As a result, the price of our Class&nbsp;A common stock may be higher than the price
that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or
otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect
that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Class&nbsp;A common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or that these
transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Passive Market Making </B></P>

common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of Class&nbsp;A common stock and extending through the completion of
distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker&#146;s bid, that bid must then be lowered
when specified purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may cause the price of our Class&nbsp;A common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of those transactions. The underwriters
and dealers are not required to engage in passive market making and may end passive market making activities at any time. </P>

institution that we select or its nominee. The financial institution that is selected for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York,

When a Global Security Will Be Terminated.&#148; As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to
own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does.
Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized capital stock consists of 80,000,000 shares of common stock, 100,000,000 shares of
Class&nbsp;A common stock, 3,000,000 shares of Class B stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. At November&nbsp;17, 2017, there were 12,160,023 shares of common stock, 38,035,517 shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock and 1,652,262 shares of
Class B stock, and there were approximately 95 holders of record of our common stock, 315 holders of record of our Class&nbsp;A common stock, and five holders of record of our Class B stock. No shares of preferred stock or options to purchase

to and is qualified in its entirety by the description of our capital stock contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
We recommend you review the exhibit for a detailed description of the provisions that we summarize below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Common Stock, Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and
Class B Stock </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Voting, Dividend and Other Rights</I>. The voting powers, preferences and relative rights of the common stock,
Class&nbsp;A common stock, and the Class B stock are identical in all respects, except that (i)&nbsp;the holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share, the holders of Class B stock are entitled to the lesser of ten votes per share or
49% of the total votes cast, and the holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock generally have no voting rights unless otherwise required by Delaware law, as described below; (ii)&nbsp;stock dividends on common stock may be paid only in shares of common
stock and stock dividends on Class B stock may be paid only in shares of Class B stock and (iii)&nbsp;shares of Class B stock have certain conversion rights and are subject to certain restrictions on ownership and transfer described below under
&#147;&#151;Conversion Rights and Restrictions on Transfer of Class B Stock.&#148; Except as described above, issuances of additional shares of Class B stock and modifications of the terms of the Class B stock require the approval of a majority of
the holders of the common stock and Class B stock, voting as separate classes. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the number of authorized shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock may be increased or decreased (but not
below the number of outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the common stock and Class B stock, voting together as a
single class, without a vote by any holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, any amendments to the certificate of incorporation altering or changing the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of
any class so as to adversely affect them, including the Class&nbsp;A common stock, requires the separate approval of the class so affected, as well as the approval of all classes entitled to vote thereon, voting together, and these voting rights are
specifically included in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation cannot be modified, revised or amended without the affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding shares of common
stock and Class B stock, voting separately as a class. Except as described above or as required by law, holders of common stock and Class B stock vote together on all matters presented to the stockholders for their vote or approval, including the
election of directors. The stockholders are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors.<I> </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each share of common

nor the Class&nbsp;A common stock has any conversion rights. However, at the option of the holder, each share of Class B stock is convertible at any time and from time to time into one share of common stock. If at any time the holders of a majority
of outstanding shares of Class B stock vote to convert the outstanding shares of Class B stock to common stock, then all outstanding shares of Class B stock shall be deemed automatically converted into shares of common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any holder of shares of Class B stock desiring to transfer such shares to
a person other than a Permitted Transferee (as defined below) must present such shares to us for conversion into an equal number of shares of common stock upon such transfer. Thereafter, such shares of common stock may be freely transferred to
persons other than Permitted Transferees, subject to applicable securities law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Shares of Class B stock may not be transferred except
generally to family members, certain trusts, heirs and devisees (collectively, &#147;Permitted Transferees&#148; and each, a &#147;Permitted Transferee&#148;). Upon any sale or transfer of ownership or voting rights to a transferee other than a
Permitted Transferee or to the extent an entity no longer remains a Permitted Transferee, such shares of Class B stock will automatically convert into equal number of shares of common stock. Accordingly, no trading market is expected to develop in
the Class B stock and the Class B stock will not be listed or traded on any exchange or in any market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Effects of Disproportionate
Voting Rights</I>. The disproportionate voting rights of the common stock, Class&nbsp;A common stock and Class B stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of the common stock and of the Class&nbsp;A common stock. Such disproportionate
voting rights may make us a less attractive target for a takeover than we otherwise might be, or render more difficult or discourage a merger proposal, a tender offer or a proxy contest, even if such actions were favored by our stockholders other
than the holders of the Class B stock. Accordingly, such disproportionate voting rights may deprive holders of common stock of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices, since takeover bids frequently involve
purchases of stock directly from shareholders at such a premium price.<I> </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The common stock and Class&nbsp;A common stock issued by

of preferred stock in one or more series. The board of directors also has the authority to designate the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of each such series, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting
rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of each series will be fixed by the certificate of designation relating to

underwriters or agents, and describe their compensation, in a prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may have agreements with the underwriters,

solicitation of such contracts will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to facilitate the offering of the
securities, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such securities may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of such securities or any other securities the prices of which
may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in such securities for their own account. In addition, to
cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of such securities or any such other securities, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, such securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in
any offering of such securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing such securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases
previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transaction or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels.
The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. </P>

established trading market. Any underwriters or agents to or through whom such securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but such underwriters or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue
any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any such securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Sales by

deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling securityholders will receive all the proceeds from the sale of the securities. We will not receive any proceeds from sales by selling securityholders. </P>
