The Pet Industry Federation has published valuable new content on its website to support pet businesses across the UK.

Two new online courses are now live on the PIF Education platform: ‘How to Make Your Retail Space Stand Out’, an online course on merchandising products in store, looking at customer psychology, seasonal changes, colour, and store layout; and ‘Dog Grooming Welfare’, designed to help pet groomers better understand canine behaviour, stress signals, and handling techniques with a focus on animal welfare. Both courses come with an exclusive 20% discount for PIF members.

Ahead of crucial tax changes taking place from April 2026, which will affect small businesses, including sole traders, PIF has also uploaded a new Making Tax Digital for the Self-Employed fact sheet to its Members’ Area. This important update explains the 2026 tax changes that will affect businesses with annual sales over £50,000, helping members prepare now for digital record-keeping and quarterly reporting.

These new resources join a growing range of support tools, training, and business guidance available exclusively to PIF members: from legal templates and compliance checklists to discounted learning and networking events.
