May 2017 – Retailer Sentiment Index

Over the last month, dog food, supplies and accessories made up the majority of retailers’ sales percentages. For next month, retailers expect sales revenue shares to remain relatively stable across all product categories. On average, most customers spent between $11 and $50 per visit to their local pet store, and most retailers expect a 1 to 5 percent increase in that spending over the next month.

The data published in this edition of the Retailer Sentiment Index was collected in March 2017.
