Product Range

A strong, well-curated product range is vital for commercial success in pet retail. Pet Gazette covers how retailers, suppliers, and distributors expand or refine their product assortments across categories such as pet food, treats, grooming, health, toys, accessories, and seasonal lines. We report on range reviews, new listings, supplier collaborations, and buying trends that influence stock selection and merchandising. This tag provides insight into how pet businesses adapt their product strategies to meet consumer demand, drive basket value, and differentiate themselves in a competitive market.
