“eCommerce helps pet owners through giving them choice, particularly for those who need specialist diets that are difficult to source. Pet owners also need to buy a high volume of product compared to other categories, so eCommerce allows them to harness direct delivery and this facilitates sourcing products through the specialist pet trade rather than through normal supermarket shopping trips.” – Mike Nairn, Thistle Insight (formerly of Mars Petcare)
