The pet humanisation trend continues to fuel strong growth within pet products. Pet owners want to treat their pets, not just by feeding them, but also by providing them with additional gifts and accessories, much like they do with their own children. The industry has responded by introducing an increasingly diverse range of products for dogs, cats and other pets, including toys, leashes, bedding and clothing. In addition, more and more healthcare and dietary products are becoming available through specialist retailers and veterinary clinics. Overall, the trend is towards pre-treatment and prevention as opposed to medicines after the pet becomes sick. This is clear through the availability of products like toothpaste for dogs and vitamin supplements for all pets. In general, most growth in this area is coming from additional accessories for dogs and cats and this trend is set to continue over the forecast period.

Like the previous two years, new developments in retail distribution channels have had a significant impact on the availability of other pet foods and this will continue to affect the market in 2014. Since 2012, one of Norways leading home improvement and garden centres retailers, the 60-outlet strong Plantasjen chain, added pet care departments to all of its Norwegian outlets, and these departments continue to offer a wide selection of other pet food. While these stores still represent only a small portion of the market for other pet foods, they do offer good variation for an area that has been previously reliant on pet retail specialists and, to a much lesser extent, grocery retailers for distribution.
