The pet care market is home to a wide variety of products that are being designed for various tasks, including shampoos, conditioners, brushes and trimmers for home and professional grooming. As grooming styles change, brands are developing products to enable groomers and consumers to keep up with the current trends. And self-washing bays are another revenue generator for pet retailers, and their customers will enjoy not having to create a sudsy, wet mess at home.
The grooming category is experiencing growth because pet parents want their companion animals to be healthy and comfortable. Pet parents also have many demands, such as remedy products that are veterinarian recommended, work without antibiotics, promote a fear-free experience and can be used without causing additional stress to the pet.
As with any pet sector, knowledge is key. One of the biggest challenges facing the grooming category for many retailers is educating pet parents on remedy products available in store. What follows is a wide variety of grooming products that should be on any retailer’s radar.
