22 | PET GAZETTE | TREATS TREATS Discover how stocking a selection of treats can attract pet parents and boost sales From plaque-reducing dental chews to aids for training and strengthening the bond between owner and pet, treats can be a useful addition to customers’ shopping baskets. Retailers will find that stocking a range of treats in prominent end-of-aisle or point-of-sale positions leads to add-on sales. As always, health comes first, so remind pet owners to incorporate these tasty extras as part of a healthy, balanced diet. The calories contained in treats should be taken into account when feeding main meals. Vets and pet nutritionists are the best port of call when owners have questions regarding feeding and suitable diets.
