- Pet Owners are Techies
Internet use for research on pet products, apps and smart trackers for pets, even social media pages for pets (that’s real, folks) are ways pet owners are utilizing technology.
- Natural Pet Products
People have become more mindful of their own health as well as the environment. Ever-growing natural products are meant to keep the toxicity of synthetic material and other toxic chemicals present in common products at bay. Pet owners are also selective when it comes to buying toys for their pets, especially on the material used to make toys.
- Amazon Takes a Huge Percentage of the Online Market share
Packaged Facts states that Amazon has dominated the online market when it comes to the selling of pet products and is followed by others such as Chewy, Petco, and Walmart. Amazon has also implemented robotics innovations in their warehouses which makes it the dominant in the online market. Nothing is quite like the brick-and-mortar stores we love, but online retailers provide convenience many people look for.
- Pet-Care Needs and the Smart Devices
Technology has simplified the way pet owners buy pet products and has also impacted the type of pet products on the market. In particular, the introduction of the IoT and smart devices has improved pet care.
This has made it easy for pet owners to monitor their pet’s physical activities, health, and location using wearables and other monitoring devices.
