I just got notice from Packaged Facts about a report on the pet departments of natural food supermarkets. There’s been strong growth in natural pet foods and this has carried over into expanded pet departments at natural food stores as well. I have noticed that my local favorite health food store, Zerbo’s, has greatly increased the amount of space allocated to pet foods over the past few years. From about a third of an aisle with a few supplements and two brands of food, to an entire side of one aisle with multiple food brands including a frozen raw food freezer, skin care products and treats. The report apparently contains deep dives into the pet departments at Trader Joes and Whole Foods as well as compiling industry statistics from a variety of respected sources.
