Pampering and health trends
With pet humanisation set to continue and sales of pet products and services which commercialise this trend set to rise,1 owners are keen to treat their pets like a member of the family by investing in treats, pampering and health products. Retailers should take this opportunity to promote complete wellbeing for pets focusing not only on great quality food, but also grooming products to help achieve a healthy coat.
Retailers can capitalise on the growing pet health market by introducing customers to grooming and hygiene products, increasing basket size and overall customer spend.
FURminator has customised the deShedding range to provide a comprehensive assortment of grooming tools to ensure the entire grooming experience is comfortable and easy for your customer and their pet, no matter what size or breed.
