         (a) Exhibits. The following exhibits are filed with this Form 8-K:

         9.1      Loan Agreement, dated May 15, 2001, by and between Pet
                  Quarters, Inc. and Z Capital, Inc.

         9.2      Participating Loan Agreement, dated May, 14, 2001, by and
                  among Pet Quarters, Inc. and the lenders party thereto.


Item 8.  Change in Fiscal Year.

         Not Applicable.


Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

         As of May 15, 2001, Pet Quarters, Inc. (the "Company") closed four
loans with various individuals and companies in an aggregate amount of
approximately $1.9 million. Pet Quarters borrowed $1.35 million from Z Capital,
Inc. in three separate transactions. The largest loan from Z Capital was in the
amount of


                                       2
   3


$1,000,000 and bears interest at a rate of 8.5%. Pet Quarters is obligated to
pay $20,000 per week commencing July 23, 2001 until the loan is paid in full. At
the request of the lender, which is an accredited investor, Pet Quarters agreed
that it would issue 3,500,000 shares of Pet Quarters, Inc. Common Stock to Z
Capital, in lieu of payment of a cash loan origination fee, for making the loan.
The Company is obligated to issue the shares only if the Company's shareholders
vote to increase the number of authorized shares available for issuance and only
after such authorized shares have been registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company anticipates such a vote being held at its
annual meeting of shareholders to be held in late 2001. In the event that the
shareholders do not increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for
issuance, Pet Quarters is required to pay Z Capital a cash origination fee. The
$1,000,000 loan from Z Capital is secured by a second lien on the stock of PQ
Acquisition Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pet Quarters which owns
substantially all of the operating assets of Pet Quarters.

         In a separate transaction, Pet Quarters borrowed approximately $687,000
from various lenders pursuant to a Participating Loan Agreement. Pet Quarters
will make quarterly interest payments beginning September 1, 2001, and the
entire principal balance and all outstanding interest is due on December 1,
2002. The loan bears interest at 8.5%. At the request of the lenders, Pet
Quarters agreed that, in lieu of payment of a cash loan origination fee, it
would issue 1,717,570 shares of Pet Quarters, Inc. Common Stock to the lenders,
each of which is an accredited investor, for making the loan. The shares are to
be issued after they have been registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The loan is secured by a second lien on the stock of PQ Acquisition
Company, Inc.

         A portion of the proceeds of these loans was used to retire the
Company's 6% Convertible Debenture as of May 18, 2001. The outstanding principal
balance and accrued interest paid was $852,314.81. The remaining proceeds of the
loans will be used for general corporate purposes including the payment of debt
and payables. The Company is continuing to search for additional capital, which
may include additional loans or the sale of equity securities.
