This coverage examines anti-social behaviour and its impact on the UK petcare retail sector. Pet Gazette reports on issues such as vandalism, aggression, and disruptive behaviour in and around pet stores, and the measures businesses are taking to protect staff, customers, and stock. Our editorial explores the commercial consequences of anti-social behaviour, from increased security costs to reduced footfall, alongside case studies of retailers and wholesalers implementing prevention strategies. For pet trade professionals, this section provides insights into how anti-social behaviour shapes retail operations, supply chain resilience, and community engagement across the pet industry.
