Recent Transactions
To illustrate the the type of relationships BirdsEye builds with both buyers and sellers:
After a recent transaction, the party on the OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE sent Carol and Erin a gift certificate for three nights at one of the most exclusive spa resorts in the U.S. That generous gesture is just one example of how much people like working with BirdsEye. BirdsEye does its best to make the process as fun and enjoyable for their clients as possible!
Client Testimonials
“Although I had known Carol personally and trusted her as an advisor for several years, I was truly amazed by her expertise in managing the sale of my two companies. From the initial valuation through a complex and prolonged process, she was vigilant, composed, and, above all, a compassionate confidant. Carol and Erin’s understanding of every stage of the transaction is unmatched. When faced with what felt to me like overwhelming challenges, they navigated each one with skill and diplomacy. Their distinctive capabilities truly sets them apart from the crowd.
Closing day was an unforgettable moment—I felt like I had been guided through one of the most significant experiences of my life by “family”. Words cannot fully express how strongly I recommend Carol, Erin, and the Birdseye team to anyone considering the sale of their pet business.”

“Mapping a market when launching a new platform is always a challenge, especially when that market is outside your typical investment mandate. We always look to bring on a sharp, knowledgeable advisor to get us up to speed – and we feel so lucky to have built that kind of relationship with Birdseye. Carol and Erin benefit from decades of experience in the pet industry, far-reaching relationships with key players, and an intuitive understanding of how the market operates. Having worked with Birdseye Advisory on both the buyside and sellside, we can vouch for their integrity, incisiveness, and determination. You would be hard-pressed to find a more talented pair to represent you!”

“For Grizzly Pet Products, Carol and her team at Birdseye have been outstanding and a pleasure to work with, – not least due to their extensive expertise in the pet sector. BirdsEye worked very professionally and tirelessly to get the deal done within the agreed time frame. There were of course some tense negotiation moments between buyer and seller, but Birdseye remained even headed throughout, always offering sage advice and not attempting to dictate any decision making. We achieved a very successful result, in no small part due to the efforts of the BirdsEye team. They are loyal advocates and people you can trust to act in your best interest without exception. I can wholeheartedly recommend BirdsEye for the sale of a pet company.”
Harald Fisker, Grizzly Pet Products
Founder and President
“Our company had been approached many times over the years by private equity and strategic buyers. Building a company from the ground up is a very personal process, and when the time comes, you want to pass that hard work on to the right people who will competently take it to the next level. Carol and Erin at BirdsEye Advisory understand this, and helped us take this step by identifying the right partner that aligned with our core values, goals and vision. We would highly recommend Carol and Erin of BirdsEye Advisory to our fellow pet industry entrepreneurs who are ready to take the next step with their business!”
