Carrying a variety of pet products and accessories in your store can increase add-on sales and cater to a wide range of customers. Hardware Retailing recommends these five pet accessories to add to your pet section or place by the checkout for customers to grab on their way out.
Treats
The Barkuterie Box from Bucho’s Barkery includes a hand-curated selection of dog treats made from pumpkin, beef liver, freeze dried strawberries, green beans, sweet potatoes, chicken and bacon. Each treat box is unique and is meant to be served to dogs between meals, as a treat or training reward.
The Shady Cat Bribes cat treats from Shady Cat Social Club come in two flavors, chicken and whitefish, and are tossed in a catnip dry rub. The treats come in 4-oz. bags, have an extensive shelf life and don’t need refrigeration.
Grooming
The Magic Pet Block brush from Knot Genie includes different bristles on each side of the brush, making the brush useful for furniture, clothes, carpet, cars and pets. The flat ridges are designed to pick up pet hair on furniture and upholstery and the short, medium and long bristles can be used on pets with short or coarse coats.
Toys
These fruit-shaped rope toys from Monli come with a strawberry, pear, banana, fuji apple, green apple, pineapple and orange made of biodegradable, chemical-free cotton rope. The toys are durable and aid in a dog’s dental health by gently massaging gums and cleaning teeth.
These lick mats from Bark Bistro are designed to hold treats and are used to promote slower eating for dogs. The mats are freezer-safe, microwave-friendly and hand-washable.
