At the show, Harry Chapman, founder of DotDotPet was introduced to distributors, cosmetic retailers and pharmacists who are looking to expand their pet offering in their stores by introducing high quality brands. During the course of the show, Harry obtained over 30 leads from across Europe and is now in the process of following these up.
Harry said: “Not only did we talk to prospective distributors and retailers but being the only pet exhibit at the show, visitors were very keen to show us pictures of their dogs. This helped to break the ice on the stand.”
Harry has for over 15 years worked for pharma, nutraceutical and food companies. He has a background in animal health alongside other members of his team who also have backgrounds in retail, beauty and fragrance development.
He added: “We identified an opportunity to create a strong pet wellness and lifestyle brand that offers new generation pet parents high quality products and solutions that align with their values across a range of categories. Our customers may get joy from sharing their beauty regime with their pets or an active lifestyle and at DotDotPet we have a product to meet those needs. Our company values are pet first, eco conscious, fun and diversity. Every DotDotPet product has been developed with the pet at its heart and has a great story and range of USPs unmatched in the market “
Since launching, DotDotPet’s Dog Eco Towels have sold thousands of units. They are 100% natural, biodegradable, portable, disposable pet wipes. They are made from FSC certified materials, are super soft, durable and absorbent making them an ideal choice for pet parents whose pups love a swim, mud bath or roll in something suspicious. They are great to take out on life's adventures or simply keep them by the back door to reduce the need for wet smelly towels in a car or home. The Eco Towels would also be useful for dog groomers, vets, dog walkers, doggy day-care centres, kennel owners, pet therapists and pet behaviourists to clean up the messes of their clients’ dogs or to towel down their coats and paws.
DotDotPet recently introduced range of pet shampoos which have been developed by a team of experts from the fragrance and cosmetic industries which are kind to pets and a new range of dog and cat treats which contain active ingredients that support the health and well being of pets. These have been developed with the help of top nutritionists. More on these soon!
DotDotPet has already secured a number of online and retail partners geared up to support their full but are looking for retailers in the UK and across Europe who will align, display and promote the lifestyle principles of the brand in a fun way.
