Deanna Biesan, IAABC-ADT, CPCFT
Deanna has had dogs her whole life. Currently, she has two dogs, a Rough Collie, Stitch, and a working line Belgian Tervuren, Mork. Stitch came to her with anxiety and health issues that led to him being reactive to people and dogs. He taught her patience and how health can affect a dog’s behavior. He was her entry into the dog training world. Through him, she discovered Fortunate Fido and started her journey toward becoming a trainer herself.
While Stitch enjoys relaxing at home, Mork is a Belgian Tervuren that embodies the meaning of fun. He’s taught her all about over arousal and helped her learn methods to help dogs calm themselves down rather than act out of frustration and arousal by biting, barking, etc. He loves working on scent work, frisbee, rally, parkour, and more! Every day he reminds her to enjoy what life brings!
While she enjoys training for sports, one of her favorite things to teach is cooperative care. She loves teaching dogs to be comfortable being handled at the groomer, vet, etc. and to have their nails trimmed and more! Even if it seems impossible, with small steps, you’d be amazed at what progress can be made while your dog remains comfortable and opting in to the experience.
She started her journey by apprenticing under the trainers at Fortunate Fido. First, she helped out with puppy and manners classes and as she learned and studied more, she apprenticed under Ginger Alpine CPDT-KSA with aggressive, fearful, and reactive dogs. Ginger had decades of experience working with dogs of all sorts and she taught Deanna how to work positively to empower and help dogs from all walks of life. From there, Deanna earned her IAABC-ADT certification and continues to pursue certification and educational opportunities in order to stay up to date on the best ways to help the dogs she works with. She bought the business from Ginger in 2019 as Ginger began a transition into retirement by opening her enrichment center, Alpine Acres.
We offer private lessons which let you pick and choose what you would like to work on. It could be as simple as learning more about your puppy or training impulse control, relaxation around other dogs, and more!

Today I’m going to talk about pets and one thing I don’t understand: people who treat animals like humans. I think pets are adorable and a good company in moments of loneliness or when we are childrens and animals are like a friend or a toy, but I just don’t understand the people who dress a dog or a cat, make them fancy haircuts or believe that animals have better feelings than humans. They are just different, we can’t compare.
I really like pets and animals in general, and I think they can be very important in a family or for a person, but when some people try to change social relations for his relation with animals, I believe that he or she have some problems, because we can love animals but we need to other persons to live in society and, if we prefer a life with a lot of pets but we can’t have a healthy relation with people like me or you, his life can’t be good.
The last time I had a pet, it was a cat named Bianca. She was very important to me and I love her, because she was a great cat. Sadly, she died for anemia. Anyway, when I think in my cat, I didn’t think in it like a human, and that is my point.

Sam's Yams Big Boyz Dog Chewz
Sam's Yams Big Boyz Dog Chewz are a great alternative to pig's ears or bully sticks. These dog treats are made only of human-food quality, fresh sweet potato and nothing more. The trick is in the unique, patent pending drying process, where very thick slabs of sweet potato are transformed into a chew that has characteristics similar to rawhide or jerky. Basically, it's a vegetable rawhide-like chew. Best of all, dogs love them!
Big Boyz sweet potato dog chews are designed for larger breeds, but smaller dogs will enjoy them as well and will last them a good long time. Big Boyz range from 1 to 3 inches wide and 3 to 6 inches long. (Most bags of chews will contain a variety of sizes).
Each slice is perforated in order to assist in the dehydration of such a large piece. The surface is hard so as to provide dental benefits, yet the chews have a texture similar to rawhide without the negative factors. Each chew has the nutritional value of half of a large sweet potato! Since they are made of sweet potatoes compared to rawhide they are easily digestible for your dog's stomach.
The manufacturer of Sam's Yams is dedicated to providing your dog with an excellent alternative to commercial dog chews and treats. All of their sweet potato dog treats and chews are made from USA-grown orange fleshed, sweet potato (though sometimes you may find them labeled as "yams" at the grocery store). The manufacturer does not use any imported products from China. Sam's Yams veggie treats contain almost 70 TIMES the amount of beta carotene as a lower quality Chinese-made sweet potato dog treat. They are processed at low temperatures to maintain and lock in important vitamins and minerals. This is possible because they use USDA inspected and American-grown sweet potatoes.
These chews and treats are highly nutritious and excellent for your dog's teeth and health. Sweet potatoes are very high in anti-oxidants. These Dog Chewz contain nothing artificial, no sweeteners, colors, or processed food items. No wheat gluten, refined sugars, corn, plastics, polymers, animal by-products, animal digest, or rendered animal meat or fat.
Will not stain floor or carpet; the color does not come off the chew. Furthermore, as it is vegetable based, there are no off-odors, or greasiness to contend with either.
Large 1-lb resealable bag. Proudly made in the USA.
Ingredients: Dehydrated sweet potato.
Crude Protein: Not less than 6%
Crude Fat: Not less than 0%
Crude Fiber: Not more than 5%
Moisture: Not more than 20%

Pet Insurance in and around La Habra
YOUR SEARCH FOR PET INSURANCE IS OVER
Pets may need more care as they age, just like humans. And just like people, pets need care to keep them living a full life. Caring for your pet's emergency vet visits or troubling health issues can require medications and testing—and those bills can add up! Getting your furry friends the medical attention they need shouldn’t require going into debt. The last thing we want to think about when our beloved pets need care is the cost to help them heal. Sadly, many pet owners find themselves facing tough decisions about their dog’s or cat’s care.

If you walk down the street, you probably notice that a lot of people own a dog. Perhaps you own one as well, and wish to know a little more about them. This article is going to teach you the basics of caring for a dog, along with other tips. Keep reading and you'll be an expert on dogs in no time.
Look into subsidized health care for your dog if money is tight. Many local communities, in cooperation with groups like the SPCA offer discounted services that have proven invaluable to dog owners. Look into getting your dog spayed or neutered and vaccinated for a fraction of veterinary costs at a sponsored event probably close-by to you. Just contact the SPCA or an animal shelter in your town.
Try to always be https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/europe-asia-pacific-and-middle-east--africa-pet-care-market-2018-2023---pet-food-pet-healthcare-pet-accessories-and-pet-grooming-300603964.html of how your dog is feeling. If your dog seems to be nervous, fearful, or scared of certain things, you should take note of this and try to avoid putting your dog in a stressful situation. When a dog is stressed or afraid, you could traumatize your dog if you insist that it stays in the stressful situation.
If your dog spends a lot of time outdoors, he or she may eventually come in contact with a skunk. If he gets sprayed, mix together one teaspoon of dish-washing detergent, a fourth a cup of baking soda and a quart of hydrogen peroxide solution (but make sure it is no more than three percent). Apply the mixture to your dog's coat and allow it to sit for five minutes. Wash your dog off well afterward.
Avoid issues of jealously if you have more than one animal. Particularly if you bring a young dog into the home of an older dog, problems can arise. Be considerate of the patience and energy levels of your senior dog and make sure his feelings aren't hurt by giving the new guy all the attention.
If there are prescription medications in your home, be sure to keep it out of your dog's reach. Just a few of your pills could literally kill your dog. Call your vet as soon as possible if your dog swallows any pills.
Ease your dog into knowing a new baby that comes into your home. Dogs can be very jealous and you need to continue to show him plenty of love an affection, even though you've got a brand new bundle of joy in your life. Talk to the dog as you handle the baby and keep him in the loop.
Don't feed your dog the cheap stuff. Your dog will benefit from eating healthy, quality food. Although it will cost you more, you can feel good about the fact that you aren't skimping when it comes to what your pet eats.
Be strong when the time comes to say goodby to your beloved dog. Many owners keep the animal suffering to keep them in their lives and that's not fair to the dog. Consult with your vet, then talk it over with family. If it's time to part ways with your dog, do what's best for him.
If you have a smaller breed dog, make sure everyone who touches him knows the proper way to hold him. Small dogs can be easily injured by inappropriate handling and many owners find this out the hard way. Gently lift at the belly from under his front legs and secure him with both hands.
If you leave your dog with a boarder, there are certain things you need to tell them. First, make sure the boarder has a number to reach you in case of an emergency. Also, tell them of any behavioral issues you dog has. If the dog needs special foods or medication, let the boarder know this as well.
Be careful to not over feed your dog. Obesity is a huge problem for animals these days due to the fact that many dog owners allow the animal to determine how much it eats each day. For the best results, and health of your dog, you should follow the instructions of your vet when it comes to feeding habits.
Make sure there is one policy in your home for giving your dog table scraps. While some owners do not give their dog any table food at all, yet others wait until the family meal is done. This causes less confusion on the part of your dog, and makes meals much easier for your family.
Make sure you provide your dog with affection on a regular basis. Many owners inadvertently spend more time focusing on their pet's negative behaviors than on all the good things they do. This may eventually cause problems. You should mostly focus on praising and petting your dog when you notice a good behavior. He'll behave better more often this way.
Feed your dog dry, premium-quality dog food. This kind of dog food helps to make sure your dog gets all of their vital nutrients. Making sure that they get proper nutrition helps them live a longer life and reduces their chances of obesity, malnutrition, skeletal problems, muscular problems, and many more conditions.
Punish your dog carefully. You should never punish your dog for a mischief that happened more than fifteen minutes ago since your dog will probably not establish a connection between the punishment and the bad behavior. If you catch your dog misbehaving, say no in a firm voice and have your dog sit in a corner for a few minutes.
You should check your dog regularly to make sure that he does not have any ticks or fleas on him. There are combs you can purchase that can be used to help you locate them. To prevent fleas and ticks, you can purchase special collars from the pet supply store.
If you have a dog, it is your responsibility to clean up behind him or her. Keeping some plastic bags by the front door will help remind you to bring them along on your walk. It can be embarrassing when you forget your little baggie, and in some places you can also be fined.
Did you soak in all of the information presented to you about dogs? If this isn't the case, go over the advice in the article one last time. You'll be glad you did when something comes up and you know how to handle it. Utilize this advice, and you and your dog will have a wonderful relationship.

Common questions about PetArmor
What is Fipronil (PetArmor main active ingredient?) – Fipronil is an insecticide that works to kill fleas and ticks by damaging its nervous system in a specific way that causes death. This insecticide is not harmful to your dog.
Does PetArmor work as good as Frontline? – This liquid is thought to work just as well as Frontline, because it uses the same solution, although some consumers suggest otherwise.
What is the difference between PetArmor and PetArmor plus? – PetArmor Plus is thought to be a little stronger than PetArour, and may work better on dogs that have a lot of fleas, or are likely to be around other dogs that have fleas.
Does it kill fleas, eggs and larvae? – Yes, this solution has been manufactured to kill fleas, eggs, and larvae. It also works to ensure that your four-legged friend stay flee-free for thirty days.
Does it kill ear mites? – If your dog has ear mites, you may want to consider purchasing the Ear Mite and Tick Treatment. This is a product that can be added to the ears twice a day, until all of the ear mites and ticks are gone. This solution should not be used on dogs that are less than three months old.
Is it waterproof? – Yes. The liquid will be completely waterproof after a period of twenty-four hours.
Is it safe for pregnant dogs? – Yes, it can be used for pregnant dogs. Users should also note that when the puppies are born and the mother is lactating, the solution is still safe to use, but the puppies should be kept away from the area that it has been applied to when it’s still wet.
Is it safe for kittens? – Yes. PetArmor for Cats is completely safe to use on kittens that are at least two months old. The forumla can also be used on the mother when she is lactating, but the kittens should be kept away from the area that it has been applied to when it’s still wet.
Can PetArmor for dogs be used on cats (is it safe?) – No. This is because the formula that has been manufactured for use on dogs can contain a much stronger formula, that could harm your cat (This applies to all brands of flea and tick solution).
Does it have an expiration date? – No, as long as the tubes are sealed and stored at room temperature the tubes areok to use.
Where to buy PetArmor? – This product can be purchased from Amazon, Meijer, Target, Walgreens, and Walmart.
- Amazon – Buyers can purchase this product for prices that vary between $8.04 for a three pack suitable for large dogs, and $130.00 for a years supply suitable for medium sized dogs. Prices will vary if you buy the package from a third-party seller.
- Mijer – PetArmor is sold here for approximately $31.99 for a three months’ supply that’s suitable for large dogs

- Walmart – This retailer sells this solution at a variety of prices. As an example of prices, purchasers can buy three months’ supply for $15.72 for extra large dogs, and $35.15 for a six months’ supply for small to large dogs.
What we like
- It’s relatively cheap compared to other products – Consumers could save themselves a lot of money when they use this formula instead of a leading brand.
- Each application lasts thirty days – This means that once it’s been applied, the formula will keep your four-legged friend flea-free for a whole month.
- The solution works to kill fleas, mites, eggs, and larvae – This will leave your dog feeling better, and more comfortable. When eggs have hatched, the newly born fleas will be killed by the solution within a very short space of time.
What we don’t like
- It’s not waterproof for the first 24 hours – This means you will have to keep your dog away from water for the first twenty-four hours, which can often prove to be quite difficult.
- Prices vary depending on where you buy it from – Different retailers sell this product for different prices, meaning you may have to do a lot of shopping around in order to get a good deal.
- The cost mounts up over the course of a year – If you use this remedy as directed, you could find yourself paying out at least $120 every year. Some may say having a dog that’s free from fleas is worth it, but the price could be a little too high for others.
More than 90 Walmart customers have provided feedback about PetArmor, and have also rated it as an average of 3.3 stars. But what are people saying?

“…Seems to work just as well as Frontline and much more affordable …”
Other positive reviews from Amazon mention:

“…We applied the product to all of our animals, and within three days, the were loaded with fleas again…”
“…pay a little more for a better product…”
Other negative reviews from Walmart customers mention:
“…I used this product on my dogs and was disappointed…two days later [they were] infested …”
“…This product did not work…I want my money back …”
While this may not be what you experience when using PetArmor on your cats or dogs, you may want to keep these reviews in mind nevertheless.
Does PetArmor work?
PetArmor is a solution that can help to rid your cat or dog of fleas, mites, larvae and eggs. Working within a very short space of time, the active ingredient is completely waterproof within twenty-four hours, and will keep fleas etc. at bay for thirty days.
Suitable for use on dogs of all sizes, and with a different formula that’s been specifically manufactured for use with cats, the solution is thought to be quite a bit cheaper than other similar products. While some consumers mention that it does not seem to work at all, many of them have reacted positively, stating that their cat or dog is now flea and mite-free.
Potential consumers should therefore be aware that this formula may or may not work for their pets.
Please let us know what you think about PetArmor, has it worked for you?


If you follow me on Instagram, you are well aware that we got a puppy in January. His name is Sully and he is the best thing about 2020 for sure.
We lost our sweet Hazel in July and I thought that we would never have another dog. Fatty and I are looking forward to traveling more with an empty nest and having a dog makes that more complicated. But I found myself really missing having a dog. And the house was so quiet during the days with Jane away at college and Kate at school. I needed a buddy that would hang out with me in the studio and walk with me in the park. One Thursday night, I casually mentioned to Fatty that I was looking at puppies. By Friday afternoon, we had made an appointment to go visit them on Saturday. On Monday, we brought him home.
He’s an Australian Labradoodle and the sweetest little guy around. When we got him, he was four and half months old with equal parts puppy energy and calm demeanor. We’ve had him a few months now and he is a wonderful fit for our family. One of the silver linings of isolation living for me has been that Sully has our full attention. We have bonded with him in a way we wouldn’t if we were coming and going each day and traveling for spring break and the like. The girls also get to be around him daily and this makes him more of “our” dog instead of “my” dog.
Plus, he is unequivocally the biggest bringer of JOY. And we all need joy right now. We love him.


It wasn't my plan to adopt a young cat with behavioural problems.
Since I began adopting cats from Wood Green in 2005, the plan has always been the same: adopt older cats that are in good health and take care of them until the ends of their lives, come what may.
Older cats make excellent pets for three HUGE reasons:
1. If they've made it beyond the age of 10 already then they are probably pretty robust so you're likely to enjoy a few good years with them (I've never had a cat aged over 10 last less than three years).
2. They are calmer and tend not to roam as much. Don't under-estimate the benefits of calm cats around the house. They are far less likely to destroy your possessions and far more likely to allow you to get a good night's sleep. Generally speaking, older cats are house-trained, but new environments are stressful for cats (who bond to places more deeply than they bond to people) so a few accidents at the beginning of the relationship are to be expected.
3. They've seen enough of life to be relaxed about it. If you're not around some of the time an older cat will probably cope with your absence from the house better than a younger one. They are also more likely to forgive you for going on holiday and getting a cat-sitter in or leaving them with a cattery (after a few days of sulking and anti-social behaviour, of course).
Older cats are the business as far as I'm concerned. This must be a well-kept secret, because animal rescue centres like Wood Green always seem to have a larger number of older cats awaiting re-homing.
Betty & Lola
My relationship with Wood Green began in May 2005 when I adopted my first cats Betty and Lola. Betty and Lola were both aged 15 and had lived together all their lives. I suppose it's possible they were litter-mates, although they looked nothing like one another. Betty was a short-haired tortoiseshell, while Lola was a semi-long-haired tabby.
Betty (formerly known as Cindy) and Lola (formerly known as Sally) were a joy from the off. I'd had a younger rescue cat from another shelter when I was younger who caused a lot of stress in my life (I think it's fair to say we were both young and didn't know what we were doing). So it was with a little trepidation that I became a cat owner again, but my courage was immediately rewarded with what were surely the best feline companions in the world. Lola would live to 18 and Betty reached a mighty 20 years of age.
I will talk about cat euthanasia in later post. Needless to say, when the time came to say goodbye to Lola I was devastated. I choose, very deliberately and knowingly, to take on older cats. The only downside is that you will only spend a few short years in their company. When an older cat has been a brilliant companion you wish you'd known her all her life. So it was with very hurt feelings that I returned to Wood Green in December 2008, unsure I wanted to expose myself to the inevitable pain of losing a cat again.
And there I met Smudge who (don't tell the others) was the best cat who has ever lived. Smudge was 15 when I adopted him and lived until 18 years of age. Ginger and white (and BIG) he was just the loveliest, friendliest, funniest cat you could ever hope to meet. He was also with me during some very tough years, which made him all the more precious to me.
|'Smudge' by Penny Howie|
In 2009, I naughtily broke my 'two-cat' rule and welcomed a third concurrent Wood Green cat into my life. Jasmine (formerly known as Millie) was a very small tabby and white cat with no teeth. I have no idea how she lost her teeth, but this didn't stop her from doing all the essential cat things, like bringing in dead robins (the shame of it), body parts (mice, no humans I'm aware of - she possibly couldn't fit them through the catflap), climbing trees and generally being brilliant. She was very independent but very affectionate.
After Betty passed away, I knew the right thing to do (for me and for cats everywhere) was to visit Wood Green ASAP. By this time I had learned to console myself that losing a beloved cat meant making room in my life for a new one that needed my help (rather than sitting around feeling devastated for weeks). The 'circle of life', as Elton John might say. Sooty (formerly known as Smudge - as I already had a Smudge her name had to change) was another 15-year-old and the most appropriate word to describe her would be 'dizzy'. She never sat still. Fidget, fidget, fidget. I'll do a post later on how to integrate a new arrival into a house that is already home to two other felines (not for the faint-hearted but it can be done).
I have a lot of pictures of Sooty, Smudge and Jasmine sitting together on my bed. I'm pleased they were all able to get along so well, despite the usual doubts and suspicions.
When my beloved Smudge passed away, I really, really wanted another cat just like him. A lovely big tomcat for fun and cuddles. Instead, I got Derek. Derek (formerly known as Zak) is a wonderful cat in his own way and on his own terms and only when he feels like it (which isn't too often). The best word to describe Derek would be 'curmudgeonly'. Born in a stable (allegedly), he was 14 when he came to live with me but lithe and easily mistaken for being much younger (as several vets have remarked). Derek's modus operandi is to attack first and ask questions (such as 'Is this my loving owner who feeds me and cares for me?) later. He's short-tempered, but who isn't a bit short-tempered at times? There's a skill to not getting attacked by Derek (that involves standing at the other end of the room from him and not attempting to touch him in any way). He's loving in his way, even if a friendly headbutt is quickly followed by an unprovoked bite. (If you've watched the Channel 4 sitcom 'Friday Night Dinner', think of the interactions between 'Jim' and his dog 'Wilson' - that's how it is with me and Derek).
Derek's currently on a special journey of his own, having recently lost all of his sight in both eyes due to hypertension. Unbelievably, this situation seems to have made him incredibly happy and tolerant. I can only assume that when he had sight what he saw displeased him. He has adapted to blindness very quickly and is suddenly affectionate (he probably now realises that he should appreciate his human after all). At time of writing, Derek is 18, bless him and his wee, sightless face.
|Derek (when he could see)|
In 2014, something horrid happened. Both Jasmine and Sooty became very ill at the same time. I took them both to the vet and was told that both should be put to sleep, Jasmine right away. Jasmine had developed the same oral cancer that took Lola from me a few years previously. Sooty had a complication of diabetes. Sooty was with me for a further two weeks but it became very clear that it was time for her also.
I find losing cats hard enough, but losing two at the same time was horrible. And poor old Derek lost two companions that he'd only just begun to tolerate. I was very bruised by all of this. For the first time since I got Betty & Lola I felt that I couldn't keep putting myself through this amount of pain every few years. I felt emotionally exhausted. I went to Wood Green in Godmancesther but on the weekend I visited there had been an outbreak of cat 'flu so it wasn't possible to see the cats. So I went into the memorial garden instead and had a little cry.
A couple of weeks later, I went back to Wood Green (Heydon this time) 'just to see'. (By the way, there is really no 'just to see'. "I'll put the cat box in the car just in case" is a statement of intent, make no mistake). It was a hot, sunny day in August and I went through the familiar process of filling out the re-homing form, telling the staff on Reception that I hoped for an older cat, female, in good health.
I had look around the shelter at the various cats seeking homes, but none of the older ones was female. I went back into Reception and had another chat with the lady and we talked about the cats that might be suitable but didn't quite fit my criteria. It seemed there was only one cat that might be appropriate and she didn't sound very suitable at all...
Patch was a four-year-old black and white female cat with short hair. Or at least, that's what I was told. I wasn't able to look at Patch because she wouldn't come out from where she was hiding. NOT EVEN FOR DREAMIES (cat owners know that you can get any cat to just about anything for Dreamies). Both I, and one of the shelter volunteers, spent a considerable amount of time trying to coax Patch out from under the chair where she was hiding, but without success. If you went too close (and by too close I mean within a couple of metres) she hissed and spat VERY loudly.
This experience didn't fill my heart with joy in the way the prospect of owning a new cat had in the past, so I went back to Reception for a further chat about Patch. Patch had been brought in by a kind lady who had taken her on from a person who had a lot of animals and children (and that, it seems, was the environment where the psychological damage had been done). Despite a lot of patience, her previous owner said that Patch was clearly very unhappy with life, 'never affectionate' and had even begun to self-harm (she had a ring of nasty sores on her neck, self-inflicted - with Wood Green's care these were getting much better). The previous owner had written Wood Green a letter about Patch that still brings tears to my eyes. She felt Wood Green was Patch's only and last hope and if she couldn't be re-homed she hoped Patch wouldn't have to be put to sleep.
What Patch needed was a quiet home with a patient owner who would understand that this would be a project with an uncertain outcome. Could I provide this for Patch?
I sat on the bench outside reception with my partner David to talk it over. Did I really want to jump head first into this after all I'd recently been through? Was I inviting in yet more heartache? I asked David whether he thought I should do this. He said yes. I went back to reception and said "I've thought about it. I'm not sure Patch is the right cat for me. But I am sure that I'm the right owner for Patch."
And so we took her home.

@EnglishTips4U taking cat as a pet, you don’t even have to think on that one. :)
@EnglishTips4U cats are annoyingly lovely, and if I could, I’d rather befriend them than hoomans. I sound pathetic, I know. I’m sorry.
For you who just joined, please share your opinion about several things to consider before owning a dog or cat. #EngTalk

This covers everything from providing love, food, medical care, regular visit to the vet, and exercise/education. #EngTalk
This one always gets me :’)) #EngTalk
@EnglishTips4U Own a pet is just like choose a husband or wife, it’s stick till death separate us
What else do you think that we need to consider before deciding to have a pet, fellas? #EngTalk
I would also agree on this; we need to make sure that pets are accepted where we live. #EngTalk

The Pet Snacks Market is Massive
According to a report by Grandview Research, the pet snacks and treats market experienced was valued at $8.12 billion in 2022, and is anticipated to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2023 to 2030. In the U.S., pet owners have displayed a notable increase in spending on their pets’ well-being, reaching $97.1 billion in 2019, as per statistics from the American Pet Products Association (APPA). Even during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, pet industry sales surpassed $29.17 billion in 2020. This growth can be attributed to the rising trend of pet ownership during the pandemic, contributing to a surge in pet treats demand.
The U.S. experienced a substantial increase in pet ownership, reaching an all-time high of 70% of households in 2020, creating significant opportunities for market players. As consumers remain price-conscious, manufacturers are exploring premium lines that align with specific categories like breed, age, and lifestyle to provide enhanced value.
Established players such as Mars, Incorporated, Nestlé, and Wellness Pet Company have witnessed notable growth through sales force, third-party brokers, and distribution partners. The growth of e-commerce portals, including Amazon, Walmart, Chewy, Inc., Petco Animal Supplies, Inc., and BarkBox, further expanded the market’s distribution networks.
Millennials and Gen Z constitute the majority of pet owners in the U.S., showcasing an increased willingness to spend on pet foods and products. This trend is expected to persist, driven by factors like new product development and varied formats to cater to diverse needs.
The high adoption rate of pets has fueled the demand for pet care products, particularly treats like chewables and cookies. The COVID-19 pandemic, marked by increased puppy adoptions and home-bound pet owners due to lockdowns, has significantly boosted the demand for training treats and snacks globally. The eatables segment dominated with a 70.2% share of the global revenue in 2022, driven by constant product launches to meet rising demand and adoption.
For instance competitors to Treat & Repeat such as Wellness Pet Company had introduced the Good Dog by Wellness brand in May 2022, offering dog treats formulated with premium, natural ingredients to provide functional benefits and encourage good behavior in dogs. These moves reflect the growing ethical preference for a vegan diet among pet owners, indicating a positive outlook for the vegetarian/vegan eatables segment.
The chewable segment is also expected to grow at a higher CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, driven by concerns among dog owners about undigested food due to loose or broken teeth, particularly in older dogs. Key market players are addressing these concerns through product launches to enhance their market share, such as Big Heart Pet Brands introducing new crunchy treats and chewable goodies in February 2022.
Consider Treat & Repeat for The Best Dog Treats
The saying goes that a dog is a man’s best friend. With Treat & Repeat, it seems the sentiment is reciprocated.

Animal Protection Aegina Agistri (APAA) is a Greek charity founded in 2006 and a founding member of the Panhellenic Animal Welfare Federation (PFO). They operate a private shelter for approximately 100 dogs and a charity shop on Aegina island. They are funded by their members and supporters. Each year they feed, vaccinate, treat and sterilize about 500 dogs and cats. They also run an adoption - and neutering program.
How it all started
In 1996 packs of dogs were running around Aegina town so the mayor gathered some 40 of them and put them in the former prison/ orphanage and asked some local foreign women to look after them, at their own expense. Dogs were fed with donations of vegetables, rice and chicken and volunteers cooked and cleaned every day. Then an official Greek charity was formed in order to apply for funding for a neutering program. That was when a dedicated group of volunteers started looking after the strays of Aegina. The volunteers may have changed over the years, but the commitment to help stray animals has not. The result is that thousands of cats and dogs have been rescued, neutered, homed and/or offered medical treatment since 1996.
Adoptions of dogs
- The shelter staff will be able to help you choose the right dog for you
- They will inform you of your rights and obligations as the owner of this dog
- By signing an adoption contract (required by law) you agree that the dog you choose will be given parasite control and vaccinated, neutered at the proper age and microchipped with your name.
Neutering program for stray dogs
APAA will cover the cost but they cannot take responsibility for the dog. If you are feeding a stray dog and are able to take it to their vet and look after it following surgery, then they can put this dog on their list. Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.org with your name and phone number.
How you can support Animal Protection Aegina Agistri
- You can adopt a dog from the shelter
- Help an animal in need
- Neuter your companion animal and encourage your friends to do the same. Neutering not helps to decrease the number of strays, it will also keep animals healthier.
- Help Animal Protection financially:
- Sponsor a dog for 30 euros per month and improve the life of one dog at the shelter (visit the Facebook page for more information) You can visit the shelter and walk the dog and get to know it. Some dogs really need friends 🙂
- Become a member of the Circle of Friends for 50 euros per year
- Donate any amount into their Alpha Bank account
- Donate any amount through Paypal
- Donate dog and cat food and medicine (get in contact for more specific information)

Frequently asked questions
First, check with your neighbours to see if the dog has an owner. If the dog looks healthy and is friendly, it is possible it has a home. It is also possible it has been newly abandoned. This makes it a stray dog, which means the municipality is responsible. Unfortunately, the municipality has no resources to help you with this dog. APAA is a private charity, funded by donations, which runs a dog shelter on Aegina, but it is not responsible for the strays, nor obliged to take them in. If we can help, we will, but most of the time, the dog shelter is full. (Some people think the municipality pays us to take in dogs, but this is not true.)
So what can you do….
- Well, if the dog appears hungry and thirsty, give it food and water.
- Take a photo of it and send it to APAA, who can post it and see if an owner can be found.
- Let the dog stay in your area; alert the neighbours that you are feeding the dog; try to find it a new home if you cannot give it one. APAA can help you by posting the information.
- If the dog appears ill, wounded, starving or on the edge of collapse, contact APAA and ask if you can bring it to their official shelter vets in town – Giannis Basdalvanos and Despina Papachroni. APAA will help as much as possible to get the dog medical attention. We cannot promise to take it to the shelter, but it will be considered after an assessment is made by our vets.
If you find puppies, please try to help them. If they are old enough to eat by themselves, give them food and water, and shelter. Post a picture to APAA and ask for advice. If they need medical help, bring them to a vet; contact us and we will try to to help. It is difficult for APAA to take the puppies as they can carry diseases with them that can infect an entire dog shelter, so a quarantine period is always required (preferably in a foster home- hopefully yours) before APAA can agree to take them. If we can’t take them, we will post them and try to help you home them. Abandoned puppies pose an enormous problem for all of us and that is why APAA runs neutering programs and encourages all Aeginiteans to neuter their dogs, female and male. (By the way, it is against the law to abandon dogs.)
You can adopt the dog and take it back home with you. Our local vets can give you all the information you need to do this. If the dog needs time to get the medical requirements and paperwork done, you could ask APAA to help. We home dogs regularly in Greece and in other countries and, may be able to offer some assistance.
If you cannot adopt it, you can talk to people in the neighbourhood where you have been staying and see if they would be willing to look after the dog. You could offer to help with food. You could post it online and see if someone else would help the dog. But don’t wait until the day before you are leaving the island!
APAA can definitely offer some help. We can post a photo online; We can send the information to our sister groups for possible help. We can arrange for you to take the dog to our local vet for a medical assessment, and neuter it if it has not already been done.
If you choose a dog in person at our shelter and live on Aegina, a home visit will be made by a member of APAA shelter staff. Once the adoption is approved, a contract will be signed. All dogs adopted from the shelter are fully vaccinated, treated for parasites and neutered (unless too young, in which case they will be neutered later at APAA expense). The aim of APAA is to choose the right dog for the person, and the right person for the dog. However, APAA will always take a dog back if necessary. There is no adoption charge, although a donation is always welcome.
There is no adoption charge, although a donation is always welcome.
Unfortunately, the answer is YES. Too many irresponsible people abandon puppies and dogs; dogs are neglected and abused and sometimes escape or are rescued. Dogs are found with wounds, starving to death, full of shotgun pellets, diseased, etc and APAA cannot turn their back on all these needy animals, so usually the shelter is full.
YES. APAA has over 100 dogs in their shelter and only three full time staff members. But, we have a number of free zones, where a group of dogs interact freely and are not living in kennels. They have learned to be more social with both people and other dogs, and are therefore easier to home. Some dogs are not stable enough to live in the free zones full time, but they have some hours there under staff supervision before they go back to their kennels. A few dogs do not mix well with other dogs, so these dogs are taken out for supervised walks outside the shelter. And, fortunately, we have a number of volunteers who come up regularly to walk dogs. At our Open Houses, we ask people to come up and walk a dog!
The shelter welcomes volunteers, but it is important to talk with the Shelter Administrator Elena Foudouki to find out what volunteers are needed for.
APAA has an official vet for the dog shelter, Giannis Basdalvanos, who has a vet clinic in Aegina town behind the hospital; Despina Papachroni is a partner-vet at the clinic. All of our local needs are met by these two vets. If you live in the UK, you should contact Friends of the Strays of Greece, who organize visiting vet neutering clinics in Greece.
APAA was registered in 2006, following two earlier charities dating from 1996. During that period the municipality offered no financial support. But APAA wants to cooperate more with the municipality to solve the stray animal problem on the island; to that end the municipality has, for the first time, offered the charity 5000 euros.
That question requires a thesis to answer. The short answer is this: careless owners and not enough neutering. Attitudes are changing and there are many animal welfare group working to change the situation, but until more than 50% of dogs and cats are neutered, the numbers do not go down!
YES. And in the last few years, more cases have been brought to court and fines levied at people who abuse animals. If you know of an animal abuse case, you should report it to the local police, bringing as much evidence as possible – photographs, etc. The police are obliged to investigate. The laws in Greece concerning animal abuse are those passed in the European Union, which Greece is obliged to enforce.
APAA is not in a position to investigate nor do we have the right, the responsibility or the time, to take on animal abuse cases. APAA will, of course, cooperate with the police if requested and when necessary.
Unfortunately still lots of dogs and cats are getting poisoned on Aegina, although it’s against the law and totally unhuman! Although local authorities are aware of this situation, too little has been done to stop these practices, the killers are still around! Please read this following text to prepare yourself to save an animal in case of an emergency or learn what you can do to contribute to stop the poisoning! CLICK HERE FOR THE TEXT
YES. The dogs still need to be looked after in a clean and proper environment and given medical care when needed; our staff needs to get their salaries; our vet bills and food costs need to be covered; shelter repairs are constant, so APAA has to work harder to find the money to cover all these expenses. Most of our support comes from sister groups: Friends of the Strays of Greece (UK), Aegean Dogs (Germany), Dierenasiel Leiden (Netherlands), Zero Stray Pawject (USA), SBA - Foundation for Foreign Shelters (Netherlands), Animal Respect (UK), Cats of Aegina and Agistri, plus individual supporters in those countries, and we do have some supporters in Athens who regularly donate to APAA, and the local Dog Sponsorship Program helps pay expenses as well.
Generally, NO. In better times, APAA covered the cost of most of the neutering of both dogs and cats with our local vets. Now we rely on visiting vets to run neutering clinics organized by our sister groups; and funds from different organizations to run neutering programs throughout the year. APAA does not charge a homing fee, but some of their sister groups do and pass on the funds to us.
YES. Cats are neutered in our visiting vet clinics, which are held at the dog shelter about 6 times a year. But we also have cat neutering programs with our local vets. A new one began in November 2017 and will continue throughout the winter. Contact email@example.com for more information.
Generally No. APAA’s priority is looking after the dogs in the dog shelter, neutering them and homing them. But we will post anyone’s request to home some cats, on our facebook pages. And occasionally we will assist if a cat that has been adopted by someone and needs help with paperwork or travel procedures.
This website was set up by our Germany support group Aegean Dogs and is used mainly to home dogs in our shelter to families in Germany, and raise funds. APAA has two facebook pages, however, one in Greek, and one bilingual English/Greek: Friends of Aegina Dog Shelter / Προστασία Ζώων Αίγινας-Αγκιστριου.
These two facebook pages answer all our local needs, but we would like to have a Greek/ English website. We just need a bilingual person who can set it up and run it on a regular basis, and to date, this person has not shown up.

We are currently accepting new clients! Prior to your first appointment please take a moment to fill out our client agreement form. We require each client to have a current agreement on file.
Northern Lakes Equine Practice has two client classifications: routine and referral. Routine clients are those that have their horses in a preventative program with us. A preventative program includes yearly wellness examination, vaccinations as appropriate for patient lifestyle, and dental examination. We are happy to offer 24/7/365 emergency services to all of our routine clients. Routine clients also benefit from our state of the art performance equipment and all other services offered by Northern Lakes Equine Practice.
Our doctors are happy to provide second opinions to ongoing cases or to work with your regular veterinarian on complicated cases. We will communicate with both you and your regular veterinarian to help your horse get the best care possible. Referral clients are scheduled during normal business hours Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. Any emergency services needed would come from your regular veterinarian.


Our clinic requires a consultation with every small animal patient. At this time, Dr. Henry will perform a head-to-toe exam along with a complete conscious oral exam. After the exam, Dr. Henry will discuss his recommendations for treatment. We will then generate a treatment plan for cost.
If you choose to proceed with treatment, we will schedule the procedure for a future date. We will often perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork the day of the consultation, if a procedure is scheduled. The consultation usually takes around 1 hour. Please plan on bringing vaccination history, recent previous bloodwork, and any pertinent medical history.
Animals, unlike humans, won’t consciously tolerate oral examinations and treatments. For the safety of your pet and our staff, every small animal procedure will be performed under general anesthesia.
Each patient is required to have bloodwork performed prior to their procedure. This ensures that your pet can safely process and eliminate the anesthetic agents. This will also help verify if there are any other hidden illnesses present.
Bloodwork can be performed at our clinic or at your referring/general practitioners. If you choose to have bloodwork performed by the referring/general practitioner, it should be performed within 1 month of the procedure. Please email results to firstname.lastname@example.org.
All of our small animal procedures are one day procedures. Please plan on bringing your pet to our clinic between 7-8 am. At time of admit, we will review the consent form and discuss a discharge time. Most discharges are usually between 2-4 pm. Please plan around 15 minutes for admitting your pet to our clinic and plan 15-30 minutes for discharge.
Night before your pet’s appointment:
Morning of your pet’s appointment:
Some clients choose to stay in the area or at the clinic while their pet is having their procedure. To help make your day stay more comfortable, we have recommendations for food and local attractions. At the clinic, we offer free wifi, refreshments, charging stations, snacks, and a semi-private room for working.

Attributes of a Good Dog Breeder
In Binomial Nomenclature, a dog is known as Canis Familiaris. Probably the dog was the first animal to be domesticated. Unlike other animals in genus Canis, a dog can survive on food rich in starch, therefore, can survive in the home. An offspring of a dog is known as a puppy. Although there are many species of dogs, we shall discuss American Pitbull Terrier in this article. The American Pitbull Terrier has a medium-sized body, short hair and great intelligence. The American Pitbull Terriers are used in sporting activities, are pets and offer security. Nowadays, it is better to buy an American Pitbull Terrier from a breeder. Below are attributes of a good dog breeder.
A good American Pitbull Terrier breeder should be registered. A registered do breeder is the one who is recognized by the right authorities and possess a permit. A registered do breeder is able to train a dog at an early age, he/she will assist you in registering your dog for competitions and the puppies and dogs he/she sells are in good health. Before you buy a puppy, please ensure that the breeder has a permit.
One should also consider the prices of the breeder when looking for the best American Pitbull Terrier terriers. The special diet and training offered to American Pitbull Terrier puppies and dogs should not result to exaggeration of the prices of the puppies. The dog breeder should also offer price discounts to clients who purchase more than one puppy. It is also good for one to carry out a research on the pricing of various American Pitbull Terrier breeders. You should also have a budget.
A good dog breeder should be troubled about the handling of the dog. The best dog breeders will ensure that the clients are able to offer quality care and treatment before transferring the ownership of the dog. The dog breeder should inquire about your monthly income before selling an American Pitbull Terrier puppy to you. The best dog breeders ensure that the puppies he/she sells are given special treatment.
A good reputation is another feature of a good breeder who sells American Pitbull Terrier puppies. A reputable dog breeder is highly esteemed and reputable. You will never regret buying puppies from a reputable dog breeder.
The best breeders of American Pitbull Terriers are experienced. An experienced dog breeder is able to offer quality training and proper upbringing and maintenance of the puppies. The dog breeders who have operated for many years are experienced.
One should also consider whether the dog breeder accepts free returns before purchasing an American Pitbull Terrier. In order to get a free replacement in case of a sick American Pitbull Terrier puppy, you need to look for a dog breeder who allows returns.


If this lockdown has been good for anyone it is our dogs, who have absolutely loved the fact that they have been around people all the time, getting belly rubs and far too much food. Sadly, however, with things reopening, this is going to end up becoming a thing of the past and you just know that the dogs are not going to take it very well. I have been through separation anxiety before with the dog and I have a roughly good idea for what I am going to do when they are struggling. I checked out the plan with the brilliant team at the All Creatures Veterinary Center and they were in agreement, so here is the plan.
I plan to get started right now, before we begin leaving the home and to do that I am going to start training the dog how to be alone, and how to be happy in his own space. In order to do this I am going to start by leaving in him closed in a room for around 30 minutes, and do this twice per day. As the weeks wear on I will up the time until we get to the 2 hour mark. At that point 2 hours might as well be 8 hours.
First 20 Minutes
The first 20 minutes is what the dogs find most difficult and so it is important to try and find something which will keep them entertained during this time. I have purchased a brilliant toy which I know is going to help them to get through this, a toy which rewards the dog with snacks. These toys are cone-shaped and you pack it with treats, just before you leave the house toss the toy to the dog and they will begin to play, realize that treats come out when they play with it and that will keep them going. I have already done one trial run with a full toy, and the little one was playing with it for just over 25 minutes trying to get all of the treats out, and then another 5 minutes licking all of the dust and residue off it, I think that this toy will certainly do the business.
One thing I remember very well from last time was the idea that your entrance back home should not be some big event, as that gives the dog something which it looks forward to and gets excited about. In order to make sure that this doesn’t happen, you should come home as if it is nothing and leave your dog alone for the first 10 or 15 minutes, only then should you interact with the dog. After a week or so of doing this you will find that the dog is excited that you are home, but they will not be going crazy like they were before.
Try out these tips to help your dog cope with being alone again.


Prince Nibbler Nanook Curley
aka "Eater of Dirt"
Born: May 24, 2009
We'd been thinking about
adopting a puppy for some time, but when the Dane County Humane Society
had an influx
of dogs from a bad shelter in Richland County, we decided to take
the plunge. Well, DCHS didn't work out, so the WGH went to PetFinder.com and found
little guy near Oxford, WI. We picked him up on a Saturday.
Appropriately, he was eating dirt when we arrived. He fits
right in in our messy house.
Our first stop before going home was to PetSmart (PS). Mercifully the
staff at PS are adept at dealing with people who walk in with a dog and
say, "We just adopted him today; now what do we need?" We spent about
an hour and $175 at PS, but we came home with a crate with padding,
food dish and food, collar, harness, leash, treats, etc. The whole
starter kit. He has a cute bone-shaped tag with the "Motion
W" Badgers logo on it that includes his name and phone number.
Prince Nibbler slept a lot at first. He spent virtually all of the first full
day home with us sleeping on Brian's belly. He went for a couple of
walks, and in the evening we bathed him. We discovered that even though
Nibbler has a high tolerance for a lot of things, like taking his
medicine and being fitted for his harness, bathing him is a two-person
operation. He smelled so much better after his bath; his fur was even
whiter; and he felt like a big, soft, fluffy cottonball.
We had virtually no experience
with dogs, so we went with Nibbler to Puppy Training at PS. He's a good dog, and now
he's a well-trained dog, too.
Nibbler growls at the cats, and they hiss back. He terrorizes them a little with his barking, but no
real fighting. He and Gleep play together a lot, and she taught him
jump the baby gate we used to keep him in his bedroom. Then we
had to use two baby gates. Now he's just fine without being locked in a room all day.
Nicknames: Fuzzy Butt, Sir Nibs, Goofus, White
Shadow, Mama's Shadow, Ceiling Dog, Pizza Butt, Smurf; Sweet Pea,
Ridonkulous, Ivory, Nibbler Na-Nut; Marshmallow.

A tip from a local pizza delivery person led Jennings County Animal Control to a Country Squire Lakes mobile home where a couple had 77 dogs in their possession. Last week, Heather Kessler, Jennings County Animal Control officer, received the tip about the animals after the delivery person reported a large number of dogs and a horrible stench from the trailer located at 2626 Ellingsworth Way. According to Kessler, the first step she took in retrieving the animals was to check out the situation and see what shape the animals were in. The animals belonged to Dawn Bowman. "We then are required to educate the owner and talk to her about how the animals were not being properly cared for," Kessler explained. "She then willingly signed the animals over to us so we could retrieve them from the trailer." Kessler said there was only one word to describe the condition of the home-horrible. "The ammonia smell was so strong it burned your eyes and took your breath away," Kessler stated. Kessler said that after talking with Bowman and telling her they were going to be removing the dogs, Bowman was hurt and sad. "She thought she was doing the right thing with the dogs," Kessler explained. "It was actually overwhelming, but in her eyes she was doing the right thing. She admitted she couldn't afford to get them spayed or neutered so they just kept multiplying." Had Bowman contacted her, Kessler said they could have helped her in getting the dogs fixed. Funds are available for this if someone can't afford it. "We did allow her to keep three of the dogs," Kessler revealed. "That was on the condition she get them spayed or neutered. The Madison DOC said they would pay for her to get them fixed." Kessler, who is the investigating officer for this case, wrote Bowman a total of $2500 in tickets. One was for 57 dogs that had no up-to-date rabies vaccinations and another for improper care for 11 animals. Once her investigation is complete, Kessler will turn the paperwork over to Jennings County Prosecutor Alan Marshall and it will be his decision as to what, if any, additional charges are filed. Before they even began the process of removing the dogs from the home, Kessler called every rescue group she could think of for assistance in caring for the animals. In the beginning Kessler estimated about 60 dogs were at the location. After they began removing them from the trailer, they found a total of 77. "We had to immediately euthanize 20 of them," Kessler said. "That is because they were either sick or were not capable of being social (they were aggressive)." Madison Women's Correctional Facility took 25 of the dogs while shelters and rescue groups in Decatur County took 18. A total of 21 remain at the local animal shelter. The remaining dogs have either been adopted or are in foster care with families around this part of the state. "We knew coming into this that there was no way we were going to be able to accept this many dogs," Kessler explained. "Our county can only take in so many dogs and we have limited funds on getting them medical help. We knew this was going to far exceed anything we could afford." One problem Kessler had when removing the dogs were their aggression when she and deputy animal control officer Michelle Acton took them outside. "Michelle has a lot of holes in her hands where the dogs bit her," Kessler said. "A lot of them got aggressive with us when we took them outside because they had never been out before." As for rumors circulating the area about the exact number of dogs that were euthanized, Kessler said 20 was the number that were euthanized. The confusion may have resulted in the fact that all the paperwork hasn't been completed on the remaining animals, so the numbers they were giving out were "rough numbers" not official numbers. Kessler and Acton were still working on the paperwork for the 77 dogs that were removed. Kessler noted that each dog that was taken has to have a complete file on it. If you would like to adopt one of the remaining dogs or any other animal at the shelter call 812-346-5725.

Every dog lover believes that their dog or dogs are the best dogs. If your dog is a rescue dog, you may think he’s even more special.
On September 27, 2014, Pedro came to our home and completely changed our lives. I’ve read before how pet parents of rescue dogs claim their dog actually rescued them instead and how the desire to give a beautiful animal a second chance makes the experience even better.
I do agree with a lot of those things, but the one thing that I agree with the most with is something my husband told me: “I can’t believe no one wanted Pedro. If people only knew what a great, playful and funny guy this guy is.” I, too, believe that.
You see, we were told that Pedro was found wandering the streets alone. He was extremely underweight before he was taken to the Humane Society. From there, he went to Lucky Dog Rescue where he spent an entire year with a lovely couple who were Pedro’s foster parents while he waited for a forever home.
This may sound ridiculous, but I believe that God had saved Pedro for us, and that’s why he wasn’t adopted sooner. To me, Pedro is a gift from God.

When I was searching for pictures of my most beloved dog in my Photos, I searched dog and got a few photos. Then I saw other searches my photos had prompted and ‘Eskimo dog’ had even more pictures of her!
I don’t think she is an ‘Eskimo dog’ by any stretch, being a mixture of English Staffy and Kelpie, but she has been with me for 16 years and is still very much an active and involved member of the family.
She asks for walks most days, can still bound, run and bark with delight when she sees us getting our runners on and we are so grateful for all of these years with her and the amazing quality of life she has into her ‘twilight’ years. Her name is Nova and we love her dearly!
Pets are important members of families, important for company, friendship and emotion regulation.
I really hope you have the joy of being able to have a pet in your life like I do.

Globally consumers are looking for minimally processed or unprocessed products, in line with the clean label trend, with an increasing desire for whole foods, ancient grains, green tea and plant-based proteins from nuts and seeds. As pet owners continue to increasingly humanise their pets, some of them even treating them as their “fur babies”, trends in human food have percolated down to the pet food chain. Health and wellness trends are particularly relevant for pet care. In the spirit of Love Your Pet Day today, Euromonitor International has compiled a brief report on Health and Wellness in Pet Care!
- Fur babies - Owners are increasingly unwilling to compromise on the quality of food they feed their pets, resembling the baby food market particularly in North America.
- The evolution of protein - Types of protein used in pet food are likely to become more diverse, using protein-rich alternatives to meat, such as insects and algae.
- Older pets, fatter pets - Lengthening life expectancy for dogs and cats and the increased prevalence of overweight and obese pets are major drivers of demand for health and wellness pet food and pet care products.
- The connected pet - Similar devices such as activity trackers and wearables, are becoming part of the day-to-day lives of a growing number of pets.
Big Brother is watching (and playing) with you
Many pets are left alone for a large portion of the day, and awareness is growing of the stress this can cause. In 2013, the Daily Mail newspaper reported “One in four of Britain’s pet dogs are said to be suffering from depression…caused by the stress of being left alone by busy owners.” This has been dubbed “separation anxiety”. A number of start-ups have developed gadgets to help counteract this. Among them is Petcube, which raised USD251,000 from 1,758 backers on crowdsourcing website Kickstarter and was launched in 2014. Founded in Ukraine but now based in San Francisco, Petcube is a connected pet monitor with real-time video and a built-in laser pointer, enabling owners to monitor and interact with their pets when they are away from home. It also has social networking elements -allowing owners to share photos of their pets, for example. In early 2016, the company reported that demand was so high during the previous holiday season that “the product sold out by Christmas at all retailers, including Best Buy, Brookstone and Nordstrom.” In early 2017, it unveiled Petcube Bites, which sports an additional feature -a built-in treat dispenser.
Blue Buffalo takes an atypical approach to the therapeutic segment
Launched in the US during 2015, Blue Buffalo’s Blue Natural Veterinary Diet offers five formulas, including Blue WU Weight Management + Urinary Care for dogs and cats and Blue GI Gastrointestinal Support Formula for dogs and cats. A sixth formula, KM Kidney Support for dogs and cats, was launched in 2016. By stressing the product’s “naturalness”, Blue Buffalo is staking out an unusual marketing position in the therapeutic dog food segment. Therapeutic products are underperforming the wider premium dog and cat food segment, as consumers increasingly seek out products they perceive as “natural” with short ingredient lists. Between 2011 and 2016, value sales at constant prices of therapeutic and premium dog food in North America rose by 24.1% and 18.8%, to USD10.9 billion and USD1.2 billion, respectively. Moreover, the takeover of veterinary clinic chain VCA by Mars (already the owner of Banfield Pet Hospital), which was announced in January 2017 could pose a challenge to Blue Buffalo and other players in this segment. It is likely that the VCA chain will now strongly promote brands owned by Mars, such as Royal Canin.
Pet food and skin care with a human angle in South Korea
East Asian consumers are big spenders on skin care and are also extremely indulgent towards their pets. This has enticed two South Korean skin care brands to make the leap into pet care. In October 2015, The Korea Ginseng Co launched Ginipet, a dog food that contains red ginseng. "It's been less than six months since Ginipetwas launched, but it has been made available in 600 shopping malls and pet stores and sold over 25,000 units as of the end of last month," a company official commented in May 2016. In 2016, cosmetics brand Aekyunglaunched a pet care brand called Whistle in conjunction with Irion, which operates a multi-purpose complex for pets that includes a pet hospital, hotel, grooming salon and daycare centre. "We will launch a variety of products made from natural ingredients, since pets have weaker skin than humans," a company official told The Korean Herald. In per capita terms, South Korea had the second highest level of per capita value sales of skin care in 2015 (USD112), behind Hong Kong, China.
